GlobalSCAPE Announces Investment Term Sheet with CoreTrace

GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB), a leading developer of secure information exchange solutions, today announced that it has entered into an investment term sheet with CoreTrace Corporation, a privately held software company based in Austin, Texas. CoreTrace develops and sells the most tamper-proof and scalable enterprise application whitelisting solution, BOUNCER by CoreTrace™. Subject to definitive agreements, GlobalSCAPE will invest in CoreTrace in return for an equity position and a seat on the CoreTrace board of directors.

Whitelisting solutions restrict or deny the operation of applications and executables not on an approved list created by an administrator or end user. Whitelisting technology reflects an emerging paradigm shift within the multi-billion dollar endpoint security market. Traditional “blacklisting” solutions, such as anti-virus software, attempt to detect and defeat millions of malicious software applications and unique executables by attempting to recognize such malware and quarantining or deleting the infected files. “Because malware has proliferated exponentially, traditional solutions are increasingly stressed beyond their ability to keep pace with the virus of the day,” said Jim Morris, president and CEO of GlobalSCAPE. “The CoreTrace whitelisting technology has tremendous potential, similar to the early days of the anti-virus market.”

GlobalSCAPE and CoreTrace expect to have definitive agreements in place before the end of the year. “We look forward to this strategic investment and partnership with GlobalSCAPE,” said Toney Jennings, president and CEO of CoreTrace. “CoreTrace is a leader in a growing market and the GlobalSCAPE investment will allow us to continue executing in accordance with our strategic plan, while also providing both companies with a variety of interesting future opportunities."

CoreTrace® is the pioneer of client-based application whitelisting. The company's award-winning and patented high-security, easy-change BOUNCER solution is at the forefront of the movement in next-generation endpoint control and security solutions.

The result: full prevention of unauthorized applications, improved overall security, and lower total cost of ownership compared to alternative whitelisting and traditional blacklisting antivirus solutions. CoreTrace's customers include organizations in a wide variety of industries, such as energy, oil and gas, financial services, telecommunications, as well as government agencies.
