AGOURA HILLS, Calif. – October 23, 2006 – Symark Software, the leading provider of UNIX and Linux security and administration solutions, today announced its inclusion on the Software 500, Software Magazine’s list of the world’s foremost software and services providers, published as an online catalog on www.Softwaremag.com. Symark ranks 345—55 places ahead of its previous year’s ranking—with a 2004-05 revenue increase of 31 percent.

“We are honored to be recognized for the fifth consecutive year as one of the world’s largest software companies,” said Doug Yarrow, president and co-CEO of Symark Software. “Our consistent growth is a testament to our customers’ urgency to protect data privacy and prove regulatory compliance as well as to the superiority of our technology to meet that demand.”

The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world’s largest software and services suppliers targeting medium to large enterprises, their IT professionals, software developers and business managers involved in software and services purchasing.

“The industry continues to be dynamic with more than 90 new companies on the list this year,” said John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. “Strong segments this year included security and system integration services.”

The Software 500 ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2005. This includes revenues from software licenses, maintenance and support, training and software-related services and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on their total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co. and posted at www.Softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents.
