Tumbleweed Webcast to Address PCI Compliance for Payment Card Data in Advance of October 1 Deadline

What: Tumbleweed® Communications Corp. (NASDAQ: TMWD), an industry leader in managed file transfer and content security, is hosting a webcast PCI Compliance for Data in Motion. The webcast will review how to protect payment card data, transmitted via email and file transfer, now protected under PCI Data Security Standards enforceable as of October 1, 2007.

Further, the webcast will address:

• The 12 requirements of the PCI Data Security Standard
• Major factors to consider when protecting card data in motion
• Threats impacting security of payment card info during transmission
• Implementation of true compliance, versus “checkbox” activities leaving organizations open to risk
• Linking business processes and communication channels to PCI

When: The one-hour online webinar will take place on Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 11:00 am PT/2:00 pm ET.

Registration: Additional details and registration information can be found at http://tumbleweed.com/

Why: With every payment card transaction involving up to a dozen different companies, the PCI Data Security Standard was developed as a protection measure against damaging and costly data breaches that could occur during the complicated transaction process. Merchants, payment processors, banks, and service providers must now comply with these new, comprehensive standards of protecting payment card data by October 1, 2007 or they will begin to face fines and increased transaction costs. This webcast is essential for those tasked with ensuring electronic communications are in compliance with PCI Data Security Standards by October 1, 2007.
