Australian Firm Rolls out Locked Down Linux Desktops for Victorian Government.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

29th of June, 2006.

Cybersource, Australia's leading Linux and open source solutions company,
announced today the successful deployment of 120 Linux-based TrimClient
systems and several TrimClient image servers, for the Victorian Department
of Justice.

As high-security was the most important requirement, the TrimClients were
selected as being the best solution for the job. TrimClients offer a fully
managed, totally locked-down, rich desktop environment, providing all the
advantages of thin clients, but none of the disadvantages.

"The Department of Justice had very high levels of security requirements for
this rollout. In essence, they wanted to prevent the users from making any
changes whatsoever to the system or applications, no addition of new
software or drivers, no Internet access, and complete safety from all forms
of malware, worms, viruses and keyloggers," said Cybersource products
manager Ron Fabre. "Their in-depth risk analysis led them to understand that
our TrimClient solution was the best option for giving their users a
fully-featured desktop experience, but within a totally managed,
zero-administration and locked-down environment."

The new TrimClient network was built on commodity hardware, incorporating a
load-balanced/redundant array of system image servers. New TrimClients can
be added to the network in minutes, even by non-technical staff. Further, by
basing the TrimClient architecture on Linux and open source, Cybersource was
able to fine-tune support for very explicit sets of hardware add-ons and
peripherals, allowing some but blocking others.

Cybersource's Fabre said "Because of the highly sensitive nature of the
deployment environment, DoJ needed a solution which dramatically reduced
on-site maintenance attendance effort. Cybersource TrimClient provides that
facility. TrimClient is designed to be a near-zero administration platform,
where 90% of the effort and cost of maintaining desktop systems is removed
and the remaining can be done remotely."

Unlike thin-client technologies where the application server and network
must bear the load of application execution, the Cybersource TrimClient
system leverages the power provided with commodity desktop hardware in front
of the user, to run applications locally within a secure operating
environment.

Fabre continued, "Along with Linux, we use a who's who of open source
desktop applications, such as Firefox and OpenOffice.org. This deployment
further proves that desktop Linux is a viable option for specific enterprise
needs in the Australian business context."
