TWO GLOBALSCAPE^® PRODUCTS NAMED 2012 GLOBAL EXCELLENCE INDUSTRY AWARD FINALISTS

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Jan. 12, 2012-GlobalSCAPE^® (NYSE Amex: GSB) products are among the recently announced finalists for the Info Security 2012 Global Excellence Awards in the Email Security and Management category (Mail Express™) and SaaS/Cloud Solution category (TappIn™). In its eighth year, the Global Excellence Awards recognize security and IT companies with advanced, ground-breaking products and solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of technologies.

"Innovation at GlobalSCAPE is alive and well and making significant strides," says Jim Morris, GlobalSCAPE CEO. "We continue to provide new and compelling solutions that enable businesses and consumers to exchange information online quickly, securely, and reliably. Being named an award finalist this year for both Mail Express and TappIn is a great testimony to our successful drive to develop market-leading solutions."

Mail Express enables users to seamlessly and securely send and receive files as large as 25GB in lieu of alternatives that can be cumbersome and lack adequate security-like private email accounts, social media sites, CDs, and USB drives-without the need for additional training or interrupting established workflow.

TappIn by GlobalSCAPE enables users to securely access and share documents, photos, videos, and music from their home or office computers across multiple devices, regardless of time or location from any web browser and all popular mobile devices including Apple iPhone® and iPad®, Google® Android™, Amazon Kindle Fire, and Windows® Phone.

This marks the second consecutive year in which GlobalSCAPE has been named a Global Excellence Award finalist. GlobalSCAPE's Managed Information Xchange™ (MIX) solution won the award for the SaaS/Cloud Solution category in 2011.

2012 Global Excellence Award winners will be announced in San Francisco on February 29, 2012.
