VoIP Magazine Picks BorderWare as One of the Top 20 Companies to Watch in 2006

TORONTO --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 9, 2006 -- BorderWare Technologies Inc., the leading provider of security solutions, announced today that it has been named to the VoIP Magazine 20 Companies to Watch in 2006 list. The VoIP Magazine 20 features the companies that are best positioned in the coming year to spur IP communications adoption and innovation while, at the same time, delivering on the immediate needs of the marketplace. This distinction honors BorderWare for its leadership role in securing VoIP and for the release of SIPassure(TM), the first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based firewall.

"We are honored to be named as one of the top 20 companies to watch in 2006," said Tim Leisman, President & CEO, BorderWare Technologies Inc. "This award recognizes that BorderWare is a leading IP security solution vendor with SIPassure. This acknowledgment clearly demonstrates that BorderWare is the leader in next generation security for SIP-based applications. BorderWare is committed to making all types of Internet communications safe. SIPassure is part of our larger platform security strategy designed to prevent IP-based threats, control content and centrally manage the security infrastructure across multiple protocols."

The need for SIP Security

With the convergence of a single, seamless global network that integrates voice, video and data, organizations must address a new set of security threats and defend against multiple attack vectors. SIPassure is the industry's first high-performance, SIP Firewall that manages and protects SIP-based applications including VoIP, Push-To-Talk-Over-Cellular, Multi-user Gaming, Collaborative Work Environments, Mobile Instant Messaging, Video Conferencing and other presence based applications. These applications are susceptible to a similar class of threats as email systems yet have a bigger impact because they are real-time services. SIPassure protects organizations against abuse and service disruption, from internal and external malicious attacks, interference spam and other related activity.

"We applaud BorderWare for its efforts to shift the VoIP/IP security paradigm," said Bryan Richard Editor-in-Chief, VoIP Magazine. "As the level of adoption for Voice Over IP and other SIP-based applications continues to grow, so do the risks of deployment. BorderWare was among the first to address the need for firewalls that are capable of dealing with the particular characteristics and needs of SIP applications."
