Together, McAfee(R) and Adobe will deliver an integrated Data
Loss Prevention (DLP) and Enterprise Digital Rights Management (DRM)
solution to expand the reach of data protection beyond the enterprise
boundaries. The combination of McAfee's strength in policy-based data
classification with Adobe's leadership in policy-based document
protection will allow organizations to more easily secure critical
business information such as intellectual property or regulatory
compliance data. With this new solution, organizations worldwide can
ensure that access control to sensitive information is automatically
applied based on classification of the data and enforce corporate
governance policies to reduce costly information loss.

"We are excited about the potential that this partnership can bring to
our joint customers and partners," said Gerhard Watzinger, general
manager of McAfee's data protection business unit. "Both McAfee and
Adobe serve millions of consumers and the world's largest enterprises.
By combining our efforts in the way information is handled and secured,
our customers' data will be better protected."

"At Adobe, our goal is to provide our customers with the most effective
and reliable means to securely collaborate and exchange information,"
said, Kumar Vora, vice president and general manager for LiveCycle at
Adobe. "We are pleased to work with McAfee to jointly deliver the
latest, proven solutions that help protect consumers and enterprises
from security threats."

Further, as part of the partnership, McAfee has made a free diagnostic
tool, McAfee Security Scan, available as an optional
download to customers when installing Adobe(R) Reader(R) and Adobe Flash(R)
Player software from Adobe.com. The McAfee tool enables consumers to
easily check for anti-virus software and firewall protection on their
computers. When the scan is complete, users see a report detailing the
presence and status of security protection, and are presented with
special offers for McAfee security software, including
McAfee Anti-Virus, McAfee Internet Security, McAfee Total Protection,
and McAfee Family Protection.

Customers can learn more about the benefits of the joint integrated
solutions at McAfee's upcoming annual security conference, FOCUS
09. Adobe and McAfee experts will lead breakout sessions on Data
Loss Prevention and Enterprise Rights Management. Adobe is a silver
level sponsor at FOCUS
09, which will take place October 6-9 at the Palazzo
Resort-Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas.
