Bethesda, MD—September 13, 2010—Digital Management, Inc. (www.digitalmanagement.com), a leading IT solutions and business strategy consulting firm, announced today it has partnered with Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ:WAVX; www.wave.com) to deliver comprehensive Trusted Computing solutions to security-conscious government and commercial enterprises.

With cybersecurity clients including the Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, General Services Administration, and Small Business Administration and participation in the industry’s Trusted Computing Group (TCG), Digital Management is a leader in IT security solutions and a recognized expert in the emerging TC solutions market.

Wave Systems provides best-in-class enterprise software for managing and utilizing fundamental Trusted Computing hardware technologies such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs). Based on Trusted Computing technologies, Wave software provides enterprises with a new, higher level of data protection, strong authentication and network access control.

As a Wave Certified Solutions Provider, Digital Management leverages and optimizes Wave software solutions to simplify IT management and solve critical cybersecurity problems for its clients. Digital Management’s Trusted Enterprise service and solution offerings incorporate Wave’s enterprise solution suite, including:

* EMBASSY® Remote Administration Server for remote management of SEDs and TPMs
* EMBASSY® Key Management Server for Trusted Computing key management
* EMBASSY® Authentication Server for multi-factor authentication, including TPM, smart card, biometric and password

“As cyber threats have escalated beyond the control of traditional software IT security solutions, we’re proud to be a Certified Solutions Partner with Wave Systems,” said Jay Sunny Bajaj, Digital Management’s CEO. “Wave is the undisputed leader in solutions that manage next-generation Trusted Computing technologies. Our new Wave-powered solutions and services will enable us to set a new benchmark for best-in-class cybersecurity for our clients.”

“Digital Management has consistently delivered the very best security to their clients and is unique among its peers in understanding the value, relevance and potential of Trusted Computing,” said Steven Sprague, Wave’s President and CEO. “We’re excited to work with them in partnership to transform how enterprises think about and implement data protection, authentication, and network access control.”

Wave’s client software is on more than 70 million PCs worldwide and has been validated on all major platforms. TPMs are a standard component of virtually all business-class PCs; more than 350 million platforms have shipped to date.

Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) are available from major storage vendors and major PC OEMs. They offer performance advantages over software encryption, as well as better security as the keys never leave the hardware of the drive controller.

Digital Management and Wave Systems will both be exhibiting at the NSA Trusted Computing Conference & Exposition in Orlando, FL, September 14th and 15th (Digital Management in booth 202, Wave Systems in booth 205)
