Latest certification reflects company’s commitment to continuous investment in providing customers with the most secure remote service

Foxboro, Mass. – December 13, 2007 - Axeda Corporation, the secure remote service and support company, today announced that Axeda® ServiceLink™ 5 has received the VeriSign® Security Certification for the second consecutive year. VeriSign is the leading provider of security and infrastructure services. Completion of the VeriSign Security Certification validates that Axeda’s internal security practices and technology meets the ISO 27002/27001:2005 and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) standards around security and control for manufacturers and data centers.

“With enterprises collaborating more frequently with vendors and service providers to maximize system uptime and reduce total cost of ownership, a secure remote connection has become paramount in preserving network security,” said Eric Goodness, Vice President, Managed and Professional Services, Gartner. “Security certification from a trusted third party helps enterprises more confidently adopt a multi-vendor access solution.”

As the only remote service application vendor to be certified under the VeriSign Certification Program, Axeda extends its remote service solution from manufacturers to include enterprise data centers for secure, multi-vendor access. As a result, data centers can now leverage the same high-degree of security that manufacturers use to provide their customers with secure remote access. This certification covers both Axeda ServiceLink product lines:

• Axeda ServiceLink for Manufacturers enables product manufacturers to maximize the value of the products that they sell through services that increase uptime, streamline operation, and reduce cost of ownership. 
• Axeda ServiceLink for Data Centers provides secure collaboration between manufacturers, service providers, and enterprises to maximize data center equipment uptime while reducing cost, achieving compliance, and improving operations.

“This important certification for Axeda ServiceLink re-affirms our continued investment in providing the highest levels of security to device manufacturers and now enterprise data centers,” said Dale Calder, president and CEO, Axeda Corporation. “The comprehensive and independent VeriSign Security Certification assures our customers that the integrity of their information is protected, while receiving the benefits of remote service.”
