Narus Celebrates Best Year in Company's History

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - April 8, 2008) - Narus, Inc. announced today that 2007 was the company's most successful in its 10-year history. Aside from record revenue and sales, Narus delivered four technology and product releases, added numerous new customers and partners, launched a new offshore development center, and appointed five key executives. In fact, 2007 proved even more successful than forecasted, greatly underscoring Narus' position as the leader in providing traffic intelligence for protecting and managing large IP networks.

The market for traffic intelligence has finally begun to solidify. Customers now appreciate the value of a system that integrates network traffic with the applications to protect, manage and drive revenue from their businesses. In the next three years, network-centric IP traffic intelligence systems for security, intercept and management will grow to over $1.3 billion, with a CAGR of 30 percent.

"Narus solutions provide visibility into all layers of the network traffic and can effectively scale to meet the requirements of a growing number of tier one operator customers," said Brian Partridge, director of enabling techologies, Yankee Group. "The increasing requirment for overall IP network intelligence bodes well for vendors who can execute effectively in this space."

Narus announced an impressive series of new technology innovations and products in 2007, all based on the NarusInsight™ traffic intelligence system:

--  In February, Narus announced NarusInsight Secure Suite 6 (NSS 6), the
    industry's first carrier-class security system designed to leverage the
    scalability and management advantages of IBM BladeCenter (as well as space
    and power efficiency inherent to blades). NSS 6 offers service provider and
    government customers the ability to manage their system expansion
    seamlessly and cost effectively by simply adding incremental modules of
    blades.
--  Narus announced the NSS wireless module in March. The wireless module
    is a mobile security product that detects and mitigates wireless-specific
    attacks from various devices and at different levels of the network
    architecture.
--  Narus unveiled NSS 7 in November. NSS 7 highlights advanced mitigation
    options, including seamless integration with Cisco Guard™ DDoS
    mitigation appliances.
--  In December, Narus announced the latest version of NarusInsight
    Intercept Suite (NIS), which includes the industry's only network traffic
    intelligence system that supports real-time precision targeting, capturing
    and reconstruction of Webmail traffic.
    

A host of new customers and partners from around the world selected Narus in 2007 in an effort to secure their IP networks, comply with government regulations and save money. In September, Narus announced that Pakistan Telecommunications Authority selected Narus to detect rogue VoIP traffic flowing through the Pakistani telecommunications networks. By using Narus, Pakistan's telecommunications networks expect to save millions of dollars a year. Narus also formed key partnerships in Latin America, where IP traffic security and intercept concerns have increased substantially over the past several years.

Narus extended its global footprint further in June, when it announced the opening of a new office to support its development and regional headquarters. The office, located in Bangalore, is the central location for Narus' India-based software development, sustaining engineering, quality assurance, customer support, regional sales and professional services teams. Thanks in part to the rapid increase in India's telecommunications activity, Narus expects that it will see double-digit growth in traffic intelligence purchases, including intercept, gray VoIP and network security.

Rounding out Narus' exemplary year was the appointment of key Narus executives. Narus welcomed Charles Picasso to its Board of Directors as non-executive Chairman. Daniel McEntee was appointed vice president of administration and CFO in February. Chuck Meyo was welcomed aboard in May as vice president of global channels and Americas sales. Christopher Swan became senior vice president of global sales and alliances in July, and Yogi Mistry joined as senior vice president of worldwide engineering in November.

"Narus has experienced tremendous growth over the last year. Our growth continues to validate our traffic intelligence strategy. We remain confident in the importance of helping our customers protect and manage their large IP networks," said Greg Oslan, president and CEO, Narus.
