Press Release Body = Classic Blue Solutions Pty Limited, a leading provider of
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery services and facilities, today announced
the acquisition of Securix Australia’s IT security business. The acquisition
includes the staff and business assets of Securix Australia Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of
Securix Corporation Limited, a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange
(ASX).

Securix is a leading provider of Managed Security Services, Security Solutions and
related Professional Services. Securix was one of the first entrants in the
Information Security industry and since its establishment in 1993, has developed
considerable intellectual property relating to information security and managed data
services.

With an established customer base, Securix has a proven track record of delivering
IT security solutions, including the management and monitoring of perimeter security
solutions, content filtering solutions, and electronic intrusion detection and
prevention systems for networks, as well as the provision of professional services
such as network security reviews and vulnerability assessments.

In making this announcement, Adrian Bogatez, Managing Director and CEO of the
Classic Blue Group said: “This acquisition further strengthens Classic Blue's
capabilities in managed services and IT infrastructure outsourcing. It signals the
next phase in Classic Blue's strategy to be the preferred risk mitigation partner
for enterprises where information technology is a vital part of normal business
operations.

“We can now provide our customers with a total risk mitigation package by providing
IT security solutions to complement Classic Blue’s highly regarded disaster recovery
and managed services offerings.

“Securix currently provides managed business application services from a network and
operation centre located in Canberra. This Security Operations Centre is a valuable
addition to Classic Blue's Data Centre infrastructure in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney
and Melbourne.”

With the ever-increasing regulatory demands being imposed on business, the blending
of Classic Blue’s traditional disaster recovery, business continuity, and hosting
services available in Australia since 1996, with Securix’ core skill sets in IT
security, will provide a very attractive option to address the full spectrum of risk
mitigation requirements. It is expected that Classic Blue’s strong financial
position and blue-chip client base in combination with Securix’ skill set and their
own established client base will create a new leader in the Australian IT security
market.
