CHICAGO, March 8, 2005 –
Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd.
(NASDAQ: ALDN),
today announced the release of AladdinCARD USB, a PCI card that allows
organizations to connect USB
keys inside of a machine. The new AladdinCARD USB product offers a new
level of durability and
security to USB devices, such as the Aladdin HASP HL software copy
protection device, making them less
vulnerable to theft or loss due to their internal placement within the
PC.

AladdinCARD
USB is ideal for large organizations and educational and industrial
environments where a
USB key is typically more at risk of being damaged or stolen. It also
offers manufacturers of combined
hardware/software solutions, such as medical equipment and cash register
products, a more secure
method of storing a USB security device. The new PCI card also provides
two additional external USB
ports, adding convenience on top of added protection.

“In response to growing demand for even higher security for our Aladdin
USB products and others,
we’re pleased to offer a PCI card that greatly reduces risk by allowing
organizations to store USB
devices in a less vulnerable location,” said Avi Barir, vice president
of Software DRM at Aladdin
Knowledge Systems. “Using AladdinCARD USB, keys are simply more
difficult to access, thus greatly
reducing the number of missing or damaged keys. We’re proud to offer
such a simple, yet innovative
solution.”
