Press Release Summary: Engate Technology Corporation, a leading anti-spam supplier

Press Release Body: San Jose, CA - Nov. 14, 2007 - Engate Technology Corporation, a
leading anti-spam supplier and pioneer of next generation network profiling and
connection management security solutions, today announced that Atreus SystemsT, the
leading supplier of telecommunications provisioning systems, has deployed Engate
MailSentinelT to preemptively stop new and evolving botnet threats from entering its
network. Atreus chose Engate to eliminate the catch rate issues and high frequency
of false positives that they were experiencing with its previous anti-spam solution.

According to Lawrence Chiabai, head of IT at Atreus Systems, the company's former
anti-spam solution catch rates decreased to 70% with high incidences of false
positives as new threats such as image spam, pdf spam, phish and botnet attacks
began to overwhelm employee's inboxes. The increasing volume of spam was slowing
Atreus' network traffic, wasting storage space, and straining IT resources as they
were constantly being diverted to manage their spam and false positive issues.

"We chose Engate for their proven ability to permanently stop the high volume of new
and progressive email threats that were consuming our network and IT resources,"
said Lawrence Chiabai, IT manager at Atreus Systems. \"Engate eliminated 99% of our
spam problem from day one with no false positives. Engate's unique ability to
proactively stop the surge of threats like image spam, phish and botnet attacks
before they reach our corporate email servers has delivered new cost savings in
bandwidth and storage, as well as, improved efficiencies in throughput and latency."

"As experts in enterprise-class email security, we understand how important a
scalable and reliable messaging infrastructure is to a growing enterprise like
Atreus," said Al Powell, vice president Sales for Engate. \"Atreus is a great
validation of how Engate's network-level anti-spam solution can provide permanent
protection for enterprises inundated with large volumes of spam. With our unique
network profiling functionality, Engate is able to detect botnets the instant they
appear and preemptively stop all varieties of email threats and dangerous
attachments before they enter Atreus' network."

Next Generation Anti-Spam Solution for Enterprises
Engate's patented network profiling, anti-spam solution preemptively detects and
permanently stops malicious and unwanted SMTP traffic at the protocol level. Engate
achieves the highest accuracy in the market by uniquely profiling entire networks to

transmission to the private network by segregating legitimate mail transfer agents
from all other network hosts. Used as a standalone solution or to complement
existing content filters, Engate helps organizations stop unwanted email traffic
outside their network with 99% accuracy and virtually no false positives. Engate
delivers incremental value to existing IT security investments resulting in new cost
savings in bandwidth, storage and IT resources, as well as improved efficiencies in
