BLUE LANE TECHNOLOGIES SELECTED BY ALWAYSON AS AO100 PRIVATE COMPANY AWARD WINNER

Recognized for leadership in emerging technology

CUPERTINO, CA, July 12, 2006 – Blue Lane™ Technologies Inc., provider of the industry's first inline patch proxy for enterprise servers, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Top 100 Private Company award winners. Blue Lane Technologies was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial panel based on a set of five criteria - technology innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

Blue Lane Technologies and the AO100 will be honored as part of the AO2006: Stanford Summit, July 25-27, at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto, California. It will bring together successful entrepreneurs, business and political thought leaders, and top venture capitalists to spot trends and spark new ideas and initiatives.

The AO100 was selected from over 1,000 companies, peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts. The AO100 consists of private companies at all stages of development, from early to late stage.

Blue Lane is the only provider of an innovative inline patch proxy system that immediately fixes application-specific vulnerabilities at the root cause, thereby eliminating the time, risk and expense involved with the traditional, reactive patching of business critical software. The PatchPoint System checks for the same conditions and applies the same corrective action as the vendor security patch but does so in the network without server disruption.

"The AO100 companies are driving the next wave of innovative technologies that are disrupting the old guard and shaping the new media landscape," said Tony Perkins, founder of AlwaysOn. "As ever, we were inundated with nominations from leading companies, and it's heartening to know that tomorrow's thought leaders and technology visionaries are already out there. My congratulations to each AO100 winner - these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year."

"With the increasing number of business critical software vulnerabilities, it has become more important than ever to immediately deploy software vendors' security patches as they are announced to correct these flaws. Yet because these applications are deployed in complex server environments and often interlinked, it is very difficult to patch promptly without risking the downtime of the servers and, hence, the business itself," said Jeff Palmer, President and CEO, Blue Lane Technologies. "The AO award acknowledges the gravity of this dilemma and the breakthrough nature of our inline patch proxy solution. We are pleased to accept this award for our innovation."
