Communication Technologies’ Premier Information Security Software
No*Trace™ Receives Patent

Patent Fortifies COMTek’s Leadership Position
in the Information Assurance Solutions Market


Chantilly, VA, Communication Technologies Inc., (COMTek), a national leader in delivering trusted information technology and telecommunications solutions for mission-critical environments, announced today that it has received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its’ premier information security software, No*Trace™. COMTek’s No*Trace provides systems and methods for programmable removal of sensitive information from computing systems.

Already in use by intense information security users, No*Trace has been successfully deployed by every branch of the Department of Defense (DoD) to protect sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. Moreover, No*Trace™ has been approved for use by the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense and the U.S. Army for Information Assurance (IA) purposes.

“We are excited to have received a patent on No*Trace. Now COMTek has the sole rights to the process we’ve created to protect proprietary and sensitive information assets in demanding environments,” said Joseph E. Fergus, COMTek’s President, CEO and Inventor. “This original solution demonstrates our strategic commitment to creating mission-critical applications and fortifies our corporate position as a trusted world leader in the information technology arena. Simply put, we bring original ideas and solutions to the industry.”

No*Trace enables removing sensitive, confidential or proprietary information from desktop or laptops – quickly, reliable and permanently. It offers maximum intrusion protection by providing denial of access from unauthorized users, with a configurable Hot Key that allows users to quickly and efficiently establish a unique arrangement to access data. Additionally, its intuitive and user-friendly Graphic User Interface makes it easy to use for novice and sophisticated users alike.

COMTek's No*Trace success inspired additional development efforts adding state-of-the-art information security features based on feedback from users of the software. The company plans to release these next-generation features to market later this year.
