Progressive Systems, Inc Selects V-ONE's SmartGate VPN to Bundle with
Phoenix AdaptiveFirewall for Linux

Only Commercial Firewall Supporting Linux Ships with SmartGate to Meet
Growing Demand for Extranet Security

GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 1999-- V-ONEŽ (Nasdaq:
VONE - news)
Corporation, the market leader in client/server Virtual Private
Network (VPN) technology, today
announced that Progressive Systems, Inc., a leading vendor of network
security and data
communications solutions, will be bundling V-ONE's award winning
SmartGateŽ VPN technology with their Phoenix Adaptive Firewall for the
Linux operating system. 

SmartGate will begin shipping with the Phoenix Firewall in March,
1999. 

The integration of SmartGate with Phoenix provides a complete and
easily installable solution that addresses both perimeter defense and
secure extranet communication. With SmartGate, remote users with other
organizations can securely exchange the most sensitive business
information with confidence. 

Phoenix bundled with SmartGate extends this capability to the Linux at
a time when the UNIX-based, open source operating system is surging in
popularity. 

``This announcement is one more indication of the growing support for
the Linux operating system,'' said Paul McNamara, vice president of
business development of Red Hat Software, Inc. ``More and more
enterprise customers are recognizing that Linux is a robust, reliable
platform for essential business applications such as those done via
secure extranets with SmartGate VPN.`` 

``V-ONE prides itself on partnering with complementary best-of-breed
technologies and Progressive is the recognized leader in commercial
firewalls for Linux environments,'' said David D. Dawson, chairman and
CEO of V-ONE Corporation. 

``We believe V-ONE is uniquely able to meet the extranet needs of
large enterprises today and this bundling relationship with
Progressive is further confirmation of SmartGate's strength in the
marketplace.'' 

``Organizations are increasingly demanding more than just perimeter
defense from their networking resources,'' said Alex Hutton, director
of business development for Progressive Systems, Inc. ``Secure
extranets are essential for meaningful on-line communication between
business partners and SmartGate offers the quick, easy client
deployment and simplicity of use our customers want.'' 

Secure extranets allow trading partners, customers, distributors,
suppliers, consultants and others to securely access an organization's
most sensitive data. The key to secure extranet communication is
strong authentication and access control so those individuals seeking
access can be identified with certainty. 

Unlike VPNs that are used for remote access by employees in intranet
environments, authentication is essential for extranets because the
organization does not control the desktop of their trading partners. 

Organizations communicating with business partners over extranets
typically tightly define user
privileges so that once an individual has been authenticated, they are
allowed access only to
pre-approved applications.
