Pointsec, a subsidiary of the publicly traded Protect Data AB and the
provider of enterprise security software for laptop and desktop PCs, PDAs and
smart-phones, today announced its entry into India.

Pointsec has appointed Trident Infotech Services as its distribution and
service support partner in India. Pointsec plans to set up its India office in
Mumbai by September 2005. The comp-any has launched its range of mobile device
security prod-ucts in India. In the first year, it would primarily focus on the
enterprise segment. Wipro, Syntel and ITC Infotech have already signed up with
Point-sec for enterprise wide app-lication of Pointsec products to secure data
on mobile devices, according to a statement from the company.

Commenting on the India operations, Thomas Bill, CEO, Protect Data AB said,
"I am confident that our first mover position in India will help us capture
a significant portion of the market. Our Indian operations will be a launchpad
for further expansion in the APAC region."

Sascha Beyer, MD, Middle East and India said, "Securing data is a
critical business concern in India as elsewhere. This is especially the case
given increasing requirements for enterprises to comply with security
regulations such as the India Information Techno-logy Act here and elsewhere
globally the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the EU Data
Protection Directive."
