SAN JOSE, CA and ST. LOUIS, MO (August 21, 2006) F-Secure
Corporation and REDPLAID Managed Hosting today announced a
strategic partnership to offer F-Secure Server Antivirus Protection
to thousands of REDPLAID dedicated server hosting customers.
F-Secure's security software will protect REDPLAID's Windows and

worms. By adding F-Secure's antivirus solution to REDPLAID's
RELENTLESS SECURITY solutions, REDPLAID customers can focus on
their core business and be sure that their REDPLAID managed servers
are protected by the most powerful and complete security
offerings.
F-Secure has provided REDPLAID with its F-Secure server

"We continually strive to deliver the industry's most reliable,
affordable, responsive and secure managed hosting solutions. For
that reason it was a simple choice to add F-Secure to our portfolio
of offerings," said Craig Rodenberg, vice president of information
Security at REDPLAID. "I have personally used solutions from
F-Secure's major competitors, and F-Secure's security solution wins
hands down. It is easy to use, hassle free and most importantly the
most reliable. Our customers can count on F-Secure to consistently
and quickly detect and defend malware threats, while working
quietly and quite efficiently in the background without hogging
system resources."
"We are delighted to be working with REDPLAID. We believe that
they are a well-positioned partner for our managed services
solution. Their flexible business model is well suited to our
business offering and we look forward to a robust and profitable
partnership," said Curtis Cresta, vice president and general
