--------------------------------------------------------

Partnership Program to Provide Collaborative Support for Organizations
Wishing to Leverage Guardian Digital Products

Upper Saddle River, NJ - July 16, 2001 - Guardian Digital, Inc., the 
first full-service Open Source security company, today announced the
availability of the Guardian Digital partnership program for EnGarde
Secure Linux, the secure Web-managable Linux distribution featuring
complete eBusiness capabilities, mail and DNS management, and built-in
intrusion detection.

The Guardian Digital Partnership Program provides cost-effective tools to
participating vendors for profitably deploying secure network solutions
utilizing EnGarde Secure Linux and the Guardian Digital Linux Lockbox
secure turnkey server appliance.

Formal product training, significant discounts on product purchases and
support, beta program participation, priority access to support,
participation in sales programs and future product direction planning
discussions, and much more are included in the Program.

"The Guardian Digital software and hardware offerings provide a robust and
price-competitive solution for VARs and consulting firms wishing to
integrate a secure Internet presence into a customer's network," notes
Travis Schefcik, CEO, SB Security, Inc. "The ease-of-use and high degree
of security that EnGarde employs, combined with low cost of management and
ease of deployment, make EnGarde and the Guardian Digital Linux Lockbox
server appliance a great fit for our partners," said Benjamin D. Thomas,
director of corporate relations.

Guardian Digital seeks channel partners and software resellers who are
skilled in integrating our secure turnkey commerce and Web servers into
their customers' environments, and using our software as a component of
their service offerings.

EnGarde Secure Linux dramatically reduces the time and expense required to
build full-featured eBusiness storefronts, improves the level of assurance
required to be on the Internet today, and alleviates extended learning
curves typically associated with Linux through the use of the secure
Web-based system management tools.

The Guardian Digital Linux Lockbox, a secure turnkey server appliance
featuring specially-optimized and pre-configured EnGarde, is the perfect
solution for partners to leverage the power and security of EnGarde, while
offering their customers an inexpensive means to quickly develop their
online presence. Our partners can immediately realize Guardian Digital
offerings as profitable due to the Open Source foundation on which they
are built, and the ease of maintenance and administration.

Program enrollees receive a reseller starter kit that includes copies of
EnGarde Secure Linux Corporate, free support incidents, product marketing
and sales materials, and subscription to corporate newsletters.

Contact Guardian Digital today and work with us as we continue to pioneer
Open Source security solutions for the enterprise.
