Aveksa Selected by AlwaysOn as a Northeast 100 Top Private Company Award Winner

Access Governance Market Leader Recognized for Creating New Business Opportunities in High-Growth Markets through Game-Changing Technology

WALTHAM, Mass.—April 2, 2008—Aveksa, Inc., the market-leading provider of enterprise access governance solutions, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Northeast 100 Top Private Companies. The first-annual Northeast 100 list was compiled by the AlwaysOn editorial panel. In order to be eligible for the list, companies in the Northeastern United States had to be creating new business opportunities in high-growth markets, demonstrating significant market traction and pursuing game-changing technology in a key sector. AlwaysOn received hundreds of nominations for this year’s list.

Aveksa and the Northeast 100 Top Companies for 2008 will be honored at the AlwaysOn Venture Summit East, to be held April 7 – 9, 2008, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston, Mass. Venture Summit East is a two-day gathering that highlights the significant economic, political and technology trends impacting the global growth investor. Venture Summit East features the most influential institutional investors, venture capitalists, corporate buyers, investment bankers and research analysts in the Eastern US in keynote presentations and panel debates. The idea behind the Northeast 100 companies list is to identify the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments in the Northeast region’s technology industry.

“For the first annual elite Northeast 100 list we surveyed more than 500 venture investors, investment bankers, and technology insiders, who nominated hundreds of companies to determine the Northeast 100 winners,” said Tony Perkins, Founder and Editor, AlwaysOn Network. “Each of the Northeast 100 winners had to demonstrate leadership among their peers in the following areas: innovation, market opportunity, commercialization, media buzz, and stakeholder value creation. We congratulate them all on this great honor!”

Aveksa created the industry’s first comprehensive solution for access governance, risk and compliance management.
