***PixAlert Introduces First Software Suite to Protect
Corporate PCs from Inappropriate, Illegal Images Originating
From Any Source

WESTFORD, Mass.
Feb. 22, 2005

PixAlert has announced the North American introduction of its
flagship product, PixAlert Enterprise. The new technology was
previewed last week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.

Illegal or inappropriate images on corporate PCs can expose
directors, management and employees to criminal and civil
claims. In fact, according to The Center for Internet Studies,
more than 60 percent of companies have disciplined - and more
than 30 percent have terminated - employees for inappropriate
uses of the Internet.

The PixAlert Enterprise software suite uses patent-pending
technology to deliver a powerful multi-source image detection
and analysis solution that provides comprehensive protection
against inappropriate and illegal images originating from
network entry points and PC add-ons. Such sources may include
gateways, media, USB ports, 3G cellular and WiFi hotspots.

By implementing PixAlert Enterprise, organizations can better
comply with corporate policies on inappropriate and illegal
content. PixAlert helps manage employee computer use
effectively, while simultaneously reducing security and legal
risks, improving IT resource management, providing a protected
working environment and enhancing employee productivity.
PixAlert's unique screen assessment technology powered by f4i
delivers non-intrusive content monitoring and the capability
to unobtrusively audit suspect computers in the workplace.

PixAlert Monitor

PixAlert Monitor provides multi-source image detection and
analysis. It resides on all corporate computer assets,
watching screen content for inappropriate or illegal image
content. Regardless of the source, when an improper image is
viewed, a record is created in a machine specific audit log
and an immediate alert is sent to the administrator console.
When an alert is received, the designated administrator, who
can initiate appropriate action, can view a thumbnail
representation of the image, along with the machine name, user
name, date-time and the program used.

PixAlert Auditor

PixAlert Auditor provides stored image detection and analysis.
It is deployed from a server, run locally on a suspect
computer or can be deployed to scan multiple computers on a
network. It carries out a full audit scan of the images stored
on a corporate computer asset and ranks them on the basis of
their inappropriateness. Suspect images, which transgress a
pre-defined threshold, are presented to the designated
administrator in a user-friendly gallery. The scan provides a
full report on its findings and the administrator can add any
inappropriate images found to a case file. PixAlert Auditor
can also remove inappropriate images stored on computers.

PixAlert Enterprise (Monitor and Auditor) is available
immediately for between $18 to $25/client machine. PixAlert
also provides a variety of implementation and auditing
services that complement its software offering.
