Press Release Body: Vadodara - June, 2008 - Indusface Consulting, India's leading
IT Security services company announced that CRISIL, India's leading Ratings,
Research, Risk and Policy Advisory Company has enlisted its expertise to secure
remote Virtual Private Network (VPN) users. The plan to expand the number of users
who would now have remote access to CRISIL's systems in a cost effective manner was
implemented using Entrust IdentityGuard a versatile authentication platform with
one-time-passcode (OTP) tokens. Entrust IdentityGuard is the flagship product of
Entrust, Inc. [NASDAQ: ENTU] .

"Entrust's IdentityGuard strong authentication solution provided us with a cost
effective solution to extend the two factor authentication based remote access to
many more users than is possible currently", said CRISIL's Chief Technology
Officer Mr. Hiren Shah. He added, "What we specifically liked about the Entrust ID
guard solution was the choice of having the option to deploy multiple types of
tokens."
CRISIL cited the comprehensive cost-benefit of Entrust's strong authentication
solution in terms of initial investment and recurring long-term costs as the main
reason behind adopting it. The platform's dynamic multifactor authentication
capability allows the organisation the ability to provide its employees any number
of authenticators, as necessary.
"As was the case with CRISIL, traditional token offerings are often much too
expensive for organisations to deploy as part of a layered security model that is
both effective and cost-efficient," said Entrust Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer Mr. Bill Conner. "Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Tokens represent an
affordable alternative for organizations seeking a high level of security provided
by one-time-passcode tokens but haven't been able to justify the cost - until now",
re-iterated Mr. Conner.
Mr. Ashish Tandon, CEO, Indusface Consulting, further added, "Our in-depth knowledge
in deploying Entrust solutions in heterogeneous environments made it possible for us
to successfully implement the entire Entrust IdentityGuard solution as well as meet
all project timelines to perfection and customer satisfaction for this critical
project for CRISIL. It has been our privilege to work with CRISIL and we remain
committed to customer service and satisfaction."
With more than 9.2 million licenses in use today, Entrust IdentityGuard is an open
versatile authentication platform that enables organisations to layer security -
according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction - across diverse
users and applications. The platform's authentication options include username and
password, IP-geolocation, machine/device, questions and answers, out-of-band
one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid cards and a range of
one-time-password tokens.

Entrust IdentityGuard helps organisations minimise operational challenges such as
burden to help desks and infrastructure maintenance. It includes a complete
Web-based administration capability for user and policy management, enabling
organizations to easily distribute administrative tasks to the right individuals,
all based on role.
