Secure's Best-of-Breed Products to be Sold by Leading

IT Professional Services Company for Comprehensive Network

Security Solution

Secure Computing Corp. (Nasdaq:SCUR), a leading provider of enterprise network access control solutions, and RCG Information Technology (RCG IT), a 28-year veteran in IT professional services, today announced that RCG IT has selected Secure's award-winning products as the core technologies for their e-Security solution offering. Secure's leading security products -- Sidewinder(TM), SafeWord(TM) Premier Access(TM) and SmartFilter(TM) -- will be sold by RCG IT as part of their e-Security solution, a comprehensive network security service covering evaluation, design, security policy development and product implementation.

"Online security is a top concern of most CIOs today, and has become a necessity for the Fortune 100 and mid to small enterprises alike," said Rachelle McLure, RCG IT national director for e-Security. "The lack of adequate security results in billions of dollars lost to computer crime through compromised confidentiality, loss of data, legal liabilities and Web site downtime. RCG IT is committed to working with our clients to develop a network infrastructure that will reduce these risks. Our partnership with Secure Computing will enable us to follow through on this commitment."

Through its e-Security offering, RCG IT works closely with organizations to develop a network security solution from start to finish, including security policy development and product design and implementation. Secure's products enable organizations to meet the requirements of their security policy and protect the integrity of their network.

"As organizations expand their networks, they don't always have the resources available in-house to implement the necessary security measures to support these new and expanded networks," said Chris Peterson, vice president, global channel and OEM sales for Secure Computing. "RCG IT provides a critical service to help organizations handle their new network paradigms. We are pleased to be working with RCG IT to enhance their e-Security offering and expand the market reach for Secure's products."
