Guardian Protection Services Adds Comprehensive Internet Security Solution from TrustELI to its Options

Leading Physical Security Provider Brings Worry-Free Computer Security Appliance to its Residential and Commercial Customers

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ – February 21, 2006– TrustELI, an innovative provider of the first professionally managed, all-in-one broadband security appliance for home and small business, today announced it signed an agreement with Guardian Protection Services, a leading provider of comprehensive physical security systems, to add plug-and-protect Internet security as an option for Guardian Protection Services clients who have a current monitoring agreement.

“Our customers want complete protection, and today that means securing private data and electronic information found in the home networking environment as well as safeguarding the physical property,” said William P. Graham, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Guardian Protection Services. “With TrustELI, we now provide a unique combination of physical and logical security in one comprehensive package for our customers, without requiring them to perform any updates or complicated maintenance.”

The Eli appliance provides anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-phishing and content filtering controls, along with a full-featured firewall, DSL modem, wireless connectivity and a 4-port Ethernet switch in one professionally-managed device. Eli includes enterprise-class security features that are automatically updated several times per day, requiring no manual updates or user intervention.

“Research indicates that the overwhelming majority of America's home networks lack sufficient protection from outside threats,” said Susan Lutz, founder and CEO at TrustELI. “This is partially attributed to the fact that the industry requires individuals and small businesses to install and manage a variety of complex hardware and software solutions to get the comprehensive protection they need. Guardian Protection Services specializes in providing its customers with the most trustworthy and worry-free physical security solutions available, and Eli is the perfect logical security complement to this offering.”
