VANCOUVER, BC – July 7, 2006 – Cytiva Software Inc (CRX:TSX-V), a leading provider of recruiting software solutions, announced today that the Company has deployed an intrusion protection system (IPS), the latest innovation in security enhancements. The host-based IPS will further enhance the security of SonicRecruit, the Company’s web-based Human Resource application. IPS is a security best-practice that extends the security of sensitive data that is housed in a hosted environment.

With the lag between vulnerability announcement, patch release and exploit shrinking, security-conscious companies like Cytiva are looking at prevention not just detection. As a provider of a web-based solution, Cytiva’s SonicRecruit application is accessible via the internet to a growing client base and their various partners. The growing number of users and availability over the internet make for a more challenging security risk. “Cytiva is committed to protecting our customers data with the latest innovations in technology. It is crucial to protect the availability and integrity of our application”, said Jason Moreau, President of Cytiva Software. “An IPS ensures we are proactive in our security measures and enables us to shield vulnerabilities until patches can be deployed.”

Cytiva has always worked towards providing customers with the best-of-breed solutions. With SonicRecruit being hosted at NACIO Systems providing N+2 fault tolerance for power, network, and environmental controls as well as Department of Justice Security Level IV compliance, customer’s data and recruitment efforts are secure and always available. Additionally, with many of the new governmental mandates for business continuity and disaster recovery, NACIO Systems’ having achieved SAS-70 Level II certification, ensures that Cytiva meet the requirements that have been mandated.

Mikol E. Westling, Director of Operations for NACIO Systems said that “Cytiva has chosen to implement the most comprehensive intrusion prevention service to provide the greatest level of security to their customers. We are proud to assist Cytiva and their SonicRecruit customers in providing this level of security.”
