LONDON, June 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- Arxan Technologies Expands Global Footprint to Europe to Address 
Software Piracy and Tampering

Arxan Technologies, a leading provider of application hardening solutions
designed to protect software from tampering and theft, announces its global
expansion into Europe with the appointment of Lance Boyd as Vice President of
International Sales. Boyd will be supported by a team based in London
dedicated to providing application hardening solutions tailored to the
European software industry. Arxan has expanded its global footprint to the
European market at a time when levels of global software piracy and tampering
have reached unprecedented levels, compliance regulation is demanding close
scrutiny of software applications and malware attacks are exponentially
increasing.

Recent research by the Business Software Association and IDC indicates
that software piracy is far from decline. On average, software producers lose
38 percent of sales to global software piracy. The conducted study by BSA and
IDC concluded that worldwide losses due to piracy rose by US$8 billion to a
total of US$48 billion in 2007 alone. The CEU region ranked the highest with
an average loss of 68 percent, and in the UK alone pirated software has
flat-lined at 27 percent to 26 percent over the past four years, with little
sign of decline despite the best efforts of industry enforcement agencies and
the UK Government.

"We are seeing an increased global demand for a new generation of
application hardening technologies to make software tamper-resistant so
organizations can manage risk, maximize profitability and regain control of
their software," said Mike Dager, President and CEO of Arxan. "As such, we
are very excited about our presence in London, with Lance Boyd at the helm.
Our European expansion is a key element to our continued leadership in the
fight against hackers, and our dedication to providing our customers around
the world with durable and easy to use application hardening solutions."

John Lovelock, Chief Executive of the Federation Against Software Theft
stated: "Britain's creative industries are the envy of the rest of the world
- but only while intellectual property is respected. We all have a duty to
make sure we safeguard this national treasure - just like the rest of the
world protects the rights of their workers. Without protection the UK loses
its advantage and its copyrighted works get stolen, leading to job loses,
lost tax revenue, and criminals profiting. The Federation therefore welcomes
any initiative in the fight against piracy and tampering."

Enterprises need to mitigate risk around software tampering for
unauthorized access, which can jeopardize regulatory compliance, sales and
lead to malware insertion. Virtually impenetrable, GuardIT(R), Arxan's proven
commercial software protection solution, features automated, comprehensive,
yet customisable protection for software applications. The GuardIT platform
