Centennial Software Named "Cool Vendor" By Leading Analyst Firm

Vendors selected for the "Cool Vendor" report are innovative, impactful and intriguing

Portland, Ore. - March 16, 2006 - Centennial Software, a developer of endpoint security and IT asset discovery solutions, today announced that it has been included in the list of "Cool Vendors" in the March 11, 2006 "Cool Vendors in Security and Privacy, 2006" report published by V. Wheatman and R. Mogull of Gartner, Inc.

According to Gartner, "The continued innovation of vendors and service providers in the security and privacy area is amply shown by this year's list of "cool" companies and their products. Vulnerability management and portable storage device security are among the issues addressed. Regardless of the problem they are addressing, the vendors included in this research are developing technologies to protect against new security threats and using those technologies to deliver real-world business value."

According to Andy Burton, CEO of Centennial Software, "Companies have traditionally focused on the perimeter when deploying security solutions. However, with the proliferation of portable storage devices and the high rate of corporate data theft in today's business market, companies are fast becoming aware of the value that solutions like DeviceWall bring to an organization. We feel being named a 'Cool Vendor' by Gartner helps confirm the messages Centennial has been broadcasting for the past 12 months, and reinforces our market position in delivering targeted solutions that solve specific problems."

This report follows the recent release of DeviceWall 4.0, which takes endpoint security a step further by automatically encrypting the information leaving a desktop to ensure the security and integrity of data in transit. DeviceWall does more than simply protect and manage portable device access - it offers a comprehensive solution that delivers device management, data management and desktop security to businesses.

A free 30-day trial of DeviceWall is available from www.devicewall.com.
