Secret Server 2.0 is the latest release of Thycotic\'s web-based software management
utility. The newest version has Active Directory integration and a Secret Type
designer feature which allows users to create their own templates for Secrets.

Press Release Body = Washington, DC- Thycotic Software, a Microsoft Gold certified
partner, today announced the release of Secret Server 2.0. The latest version
optimizes the user's experience by providing Active Directory integration and a user
audit report, adding even more security and functionality to an already reliable
password storage program.

Secret Server alleviates the user's concerns about storage and security of
confidential information by allowing customers to store hundreds of secrets on a
U.S. government encrypted database. Transferring secrets from less secure
applications is made simple with Secret Server's import secret option. This allows
users to copy/paste their vital data from Microsoft Excel in less than a minute.

"Secret Server was designed out of a need. We realized that many people needed a
service that would store their critical information securely, instead of relying on
USB keys that can be lost or databases that can be hacked," says Jonathan Cogley,
CEO of Thycotic Software. "The latest version will make password management easier
and more reliable."

The web-based format allows Secret Server to be used any place that has access to
the internet. Proprietary information can be securely retrieved from your
neighbor's house or at a business convention in Japan. Secret Server is also
available on many mobile devices and Mac computers.

Best suited for multiple users, Secret Server makes it possible for customers to
create groups and securely share passwords with anyone they want within a particular
group. Users can also monitor their secrets to see who has accessed them and how
many times.

A significant enhancement made to Secret Server is the "secret type designer"
feature. Instead of choosing from a list of secret type templates, users can create
whatever secret category they want. Typical categories include: credit card
information, passwords, email accounts, and product license keys.

Convenience was also addressed in this version of Secret Server. Users can access
their secrets while surfing the web. The Web Browser Toolbar (same security as
Secret Server) will communicate with Secret Server via web services to see if any
passwords match the visited website.

Other features include:

. Active Directory integration available
. New look with easier navigation
. Runs over SSL/HTTPS for added security
. Automatically Generates strong passwords
. Full auditing of all user activity


Secret Server 2.0 is available to single-users for free. For information on how to
