Press Release Summary: Engate Technology, a leading anti-spam supplier, announced

Press Release Body: San Jose, CA - January 14, 2008 - Engate Technology Corporation,
a leading anti-spam supplier and pioneer of next generation network profiling and
connection management security solutions, announced today that the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office has approved the issuance of Patent No. 7,310,660 which covers
methods for removing unsolicited messages from a client\'s email in a networked
computer system in an off-line and on-demand manner.

The patent strengthens Engate's intellectual property portfolio and provides the
company with ownership of key innovations that address critical anti-spam security
needs of large enterprises and managed service providers, as well as, value added
resellers and technology OEMs. The issued U.S. patent titled, \"Method for Removing
Unsolicited Email Messages\", builds on Engate's unique network profiling connection
management technology that preemptively identifies the spammer at the source and
stops spam and malicious payloads at the protocol level before the message has a
chance to compromise the network, IT resources and worker productivity. The
technology was developed and patented by the following Engate co-founders: Rich
White, Dr. Alan Huang, Dr. Haw-Minn Lu and Ira Victor. Altogether, these four
inventors are responsible for over 30 patents.

\"As a pioneer of network profiling anti-spam solutions, this type of protected
innovation will allow us to continue to deliver superior value to our customers,\"
said Rich White, chief technology officer at Engate Technology. \"Our unique approach
to preemptive anti-spam protection has proven to be accurate in stopping established
and new threats, benefiting our enterprise customers, as well as, our strategic OEM
partners and resellers with a distinct performance advantage.\"

The newly awarded patent is part of a strategic portfolio that allows Engate to
continue to set the standard for innovation in the email security industry. The
company's patents include 10 additional pending applications which specifically
cover the company's unique network profiling and connection management anti-spam
technology. Engate uniquely functions at 99% accuracy at the protocol level, without
throttling, capturing, storing or reading email content. This high level of accuracy
is made possible by Engate's unique network profiling approach.

Engate profiles entire offending networks to detect protocol fraud and determines
the legitimacy of a sender's message before transmission to the private network by
uniquely segregating legitimate mail servers from all other network hosts. This
unique profiling functionality results in the highest level of performance in the
market with virtually no false positives. Engate's leading database of network
profiles gives organizations the fastest response to compromised hosts and new
botnets the instant they emerge, ensuring preemptive and immediate protection
against any creative tactic that may arise now or in the future.
