NETWORK BOX CORPORATION LTD. PARTNERS WITH MICROSOFT TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS

HONG KONG, Sept. 11, 2009 -- For the first time, Network Box Corporation Ltd will receive advanced information from Microsoft about their monthly security bulletins to anticipate emerging threats and provide mutual customers with more timely protections.

Network Box joined the Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP), and will be provided with vulnerability information in advance of Microsoft's monthly security update release to offer protections to customers efficiently and effectively.

"Security is an industry challenge. With Microsoft Active Protections Program, Network Box and Microsoft continue to show each company's commitment to industry partnership to help protect customers," said Mark Webb-Johnson, Chief Technology Officer for Network Box.

By receiving vulnerability information earlier, customers benefit from additional possible improvements that provide security protection such as Active Intrusion Detection and Prevention, as a part of the Network Box managed UTM+ services.

"Our partners share our passion for industry collaboration to protect a world full of Internet users," said Mark Miller, director of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing product management. "No one company can accomplish this by itself. That is why we are partnering with Network Box to advance and improve security."
