Atlanta, GA, October 16, 2006 - For the second year in a row, SecureWorks, the industry's leading, pure-play Managed Internet Security Services Provider (MSSP), has been named one of the top ten technology companies in Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 program for Georgia. The program is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the state by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001-2005. SecureWorks ranked 6th in this year's Technology Fast 50 Program and ranked 3rd in Deloitte's 2005 Technology Fast 50 Program. SecureWorks also received a ranking of 163rd on this year's Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies List.

With 1,500 clients and over 5,000 devices under management, SecureWorks protects more organizations than any other Managed Security Services Provider.  SecureWorks leverages leading-edge, proprietary technology to secure the edge of the network and advanced monitoring to defend against internal threats.  This protection is coupled with the most comprehensive operational and compliance reporting solutions for security, the flexibility to provide fully-managed or co-managed services, and unparalleled visibility into the threat landscape to deliver the most effective managed security services available.

"I attribute our success to our expert staff, our dedication to excellent client service and the superb quality of our Security Services," said Mike Cote, president and CEO of SecureWorks. "SecureWorks continues to achieve these accolades because we are providing enterprises and commercial companies with Managed Security Services that truly protect their assets, and we are offering them in a manner which fits their business needs.  It isn’t every day that you get a chance to be involved in such important work----protecting thousands of companies' networks and their clients from hackers. SecureWorks' employees are passionate about security and passionate about their clients. It is this combination which has enabled us to become the leading MSSP and one of the fastest growing technology companies in the country."

"To rank on Deloitte's Technology Fast 50, companies must have phenomenal revenue growth over five years," said Andrew Harris, Deloitte's Southeast regional managing partner for the Technology, Media and Telecommunications Industry Practice. "SecureWorks has proven to be one of the fast-growth success stories in Georgia, and we applaud their dedication to making their vision a reality."

SecureWorks' increase in revenues of 1,548 percent from 2001 to 2005 resulted in a number six ranking in the Technology Fast 50 for Georgia. The average increase in revenues among companies who made the Technology Fast 50 for the region was 872 percent.

The Georgia Technology Fast 50 program is presented by Deloitte and sponsored by Kilpatrick Stockton LLP, NASDAQ and Technology Association of Georgia, in association with media sponsor PR Newswire.

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.
