Wurldtech™ Unveils a Sneak Peek of its New Achilles SatelliteTM Testing Platform for Industrial Control Systems

VANCOUVER, BC August 24, 2007 – Wurldtech Security Technologies, a leading provider of cyber-security solutions to SCADA, process-control and mission-critical industries worldwide, today released the newest version of their Achilles Assurance Platform, codenamed Achilles Satellite™. The much-anticipated sneak preview of the concept was presented to a select group of OEM’s and large end-users of IP-based embedded systems deployed throughout global critical infrastructure. The new platform will be introduced to industry at this year’s ISA Expo in Houston, Texas (October 2-4, 2007).

The Achilles Satellite™ concept combines the world’s most sophisticated stack testing tool with a new delivery mechanism revolutionizing the field of device testing as we know it. “This is truly a technological achievement by our design team. We believe that the new Achilles Satellite™ platform will reinvent the network testing of embedded systems deployed in global critical infrastructure, resulting in more secure, robust and reliable products. We are excited to share this vision with the industrial automation industry,” said Dr. Nate Kube, CTO of Wurldtech.

The current version of Achilles is being tested by some of the world’s largest embedded systems vendors and operators of critical infrastructure in a beta program ending August 31st. “The feedback from the beta users has been enthusiastic, even from those who are also using other commercially available testing tools. Achilles simply finds more bugs and provides a greater level of detail regarding point of failure then any other tool available today,” notes Tyler Williams, President of Wurldtech.

“We have been working closely with Wurldtech for some time now and are extremely impressed with the Achilles technology – the Achilles Satellite™ is a compelling extension of Wurldtech’s innovation and comprehension of the requirements necessary for effective testing of process control systems,” notes Bob Huba, DeltaV Marketing Manager at Emerson Process Systems.

The biggest names in industrial automation are currently using the Achilles Test Platform and having their systems certified by Wurldtech as a benchmark for security, reliability and performance. Both the current version of the Achilles Assurance Platform and the new Satellite version will be commercially available Q4 2007.
