SYBASE iANYWHERE NEW MOBILE SECURITY CAPABILITIES ADDRESS GROWING CONCERNS
OVER MALWARE, HACKERS AND VIRUSES

First Mobile Device Management Vendor to offer Antivirus and Firewall
Protection for Handhelds as Part of Comprehensive Mobility Suite

Dublin, CA -- June 23, 2008 -- Sybase iAnywhere today announced that it has
expanded its mobile security portfolio to include handheld antivirus and
firewall capabilities. Sybase Information Anywhere Suite's Afaria
management and security solution will be enhanced with antivirus and
firewall technology, addressing growing concern over an increase in
malware, viruses, hackers and spam targeting handheld devices. These new
security components, combined with Afaria's award-winning mobile device
authentication and encryption technology, provide complete protection for
Windows Mobile, Symbian and Blackberry mobile devices from viruses, data
compromise, hackers and the effects of mobile device loss or theft.

"By now offering handheld antivirus and firewall protection as a part of
our managed security portfolio, Sybase iAnywhere is responding to customer
demand for broader security capabilities from a single, strategic mobility
vendor," said Joe Owen, vice president of engineering, Sybase iAnywhere.
"Customers benefit from being able to manage all security policies from a
single console, and can be assured of interoperability among the security
technologies on their workers' handheld devices."

"The tremendous growth in adoption of converged mobile devices (a.k.a.
smart phones) occurring among business professionals will inevitably bring
with it a rise in the number of attacks and in the sophistication of
viruses and other malware specifically targeting these devices. IT
organizations need to be proactive in protecting their information and
systems from attack," said Sean Ryan, Research Analyst, Mobile Enterprise,
IDC. "Enterprises should consider mobile antivirus and firewall protection,
for all enterprise supported mobile operating systems, as part of a
holistic mobility security offering that puts IT in central control of all
mobile devices and information."

Sybase iAnywhere extends its lead in the mobile device management and
security market with technology built specifically to address the unique
battery, processor and screen size of handheld devices, rather than
retrofitting desktop solutions.

Key Features Include:

Afaria Antivirus Manager

* Comprehensive antivirus protection with automatic signature file updates,
assuring up-to-date protection

* Real-time virus detection on any file received

* Based on heuristic technology -- first behavior-based security solution
targeting mobile devices. Afaria provides this added protection effectively
without sacrificing device performance

Afaria Firewall Manager

* IP based firewall protection -- puts IT administrators in control with
black list or white list filtering of inbound and outbound communications.
This allows a company to "lock down" use of the device for authorized
business communications only and/or protect the device from possible
infection through typical web-surfing.

* SMS and call filtering -- allows administrators to minimize mobile spam
by establishing a customized blacklist to block incoming SMS, MMS and/or
calls from selected contacts and unknown users. An end user can even
actively manage this from his device to block unwanted spam or phone calls.

Availability

The new Afaria antivirus and firewall protection capabilities will be
available by the end of June 2008. For more information, please visit:

800-801-2069. An online seminar will be offered on July 15 to describe the
product in further detail. Interested parties may register for the seminar
