Reconnex Named a Finalist for the Red Herring 100

Annual Red Herring 100 to be Announced at
the Red Herring Spring Conference

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, April 15, 2005 — Reconnex, a leader in safeguarding enterprises against information security breaches originating within their organizations, today announced that it has been named a finalist for the Red Herring 100 Private Companies of North America award program. Over nine hundred nominations were submitted for consideration for this award. The Red Herring 100 Winners will be unveiled at the Red Herring Spring 2005 conference, May 17-19, 2005 in Monterey, CA. Dedicated to celebrating the most exciting private North American companies, the three-day conference will feature keynote speeches, lively dialogue, and company presentations by the CEOs of the Red Herring 100.

"There were many strong candidates for the Red Herring 100 list this year, so making it onto this list of finalists is quite an achievement," said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-chief of Red Herring. "In the post-bubble era, North American technology companies have focused on making sure management is strong and that the business model makes sense."

"In today's climate, a single insider can disrupt or destroy a business by leaking a spreadsheet with thousands of customer credit card numbers, source code with valuable trade secrets, or a company's projected financial earnings that are confidential," said Donald J. Massaro, CEO of Reconnex. "Reconnex has monitored the networks of over 50 market-leading companies in just the last six months who are using our technology to protect their brand and shareholder value against the insider threat. Being selected as a finalist for the Red Herring 100 one year after our launch is great validation of Reconnex's technology and the market for our solution."

Reconnex offers the most comprehensive electronic risk management platform on the market, monitoring all data on the network regardless of protocol to ensure regulatory compliance, corporate governance, security of critical infrastructure and confidential information, and protection against competitive data leaks. Reconnex’s inSight platform provides real-time comprehensive visibility into the information leaving a corporate network to identify and prevent disclosures that can cause devastating financial losses and irreparable competitive damage.

The two hundred finalists will be evaluated to determine the Red Herring 100 that embody innovation, technology, and strategy. The Red Herring editorial team has completed a thorough analysis of business model, competitive advantage, alliances, customers, and technology for each company.

Companies selected to the Red Herring 100 award program will present their business model and technology at the Red Herring Spring 2005 conference. The awards ceremony will take place during the welcome dinner on May 17 th. The three-day event is themed "The Dynamics of Disruptions" and will shine its light on the business of technology, featuring keynotes and roundtable discussions.
