Boston Celtics Select Aladdin eSafe for Powerful Anti-Virus, Web Security and Spyware Protection

    CHICAGO, March 21, 2005
    Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd.
    (NASDAQ: ALDN) today announced that the Boston Celtics
    basketball franchise
    chose Aladdin eSafe, the ultimate
    gateway
    -based security solution

    offering six comprehensive layers of content security
    that protect the team’s entire administration from ever-growing Internet
    threats.

    Known for dominating the NBA from 1957 to 1969 when they won 11 NBA
    Championships, the Boston
    Celtics hang more title banners from the rafters of their home arena
    than any other franchise.
    A charter member of the Basketball Association of America (which evolved
    into the NBA), the
    Boston Celtics now include an extensive staff roster in need of
    uninterrupted, safe Internet
    access around the clock. The team’s IT staff wanted to replace and
    consolidate its existing
    security tools into one comprehensive solution designed for powerful
    protection, yet streamlined
    management.

    Using unique technologies not found in competing products, Aladdin eSafe
    provides the Boston
    Celtics with protection against known viruses as well as unknown or
    potential viruses that have
    not yet hit the Web. In addition to this valuable protection, Aladdin
    eSafe also provides unique
    application-level gateway filtering with eSafe AppliFilter&#153, an
    Advanced Anti-Spam Module and
    powerful anti-spyware protection.
    “Aladdin’s eSafe plays an integral role in our Network Security
    Infrastructure,” said Jay Wessel,
    senior director of technology for the Celtics. “The ability to stop so
    many types of threats in
    one easily managed appliance makes eSafe a slam dunk.”

    “The Celtics are free to focus on enhancing their game while gaining
    peace of mind that their IT
    resources are not affected by ever-increasing, dangerous Web content,”
    said Shimon Gruper, vice
    president of technologies for the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. “Easily
    managing multiple layers
    of content security, Aladdin eSafe is trusted by the Celtics’ IT staff
    to protect their entire
    administration while the team is both off and on the court.”
