New York, New York, June 13, 2005 - MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSGI)
today announced that it has formed a business agreement with VeriSign, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VRSN), the leading provider of intelligent infrastructure services for
the Internet and telecommunications networks, to launch advanced services using
the VeriSign(R) NetDiscovery(TM) Service. The agreement is aimed at the
estimated $1 billion legal interception and homeland security market in Italy.
This marks the third in a series of material events MSGI has taken to expand its
presence in Europe.

The VeriSign and MSGI agreement effectively represents the market launch of the
VeriSign NetDiscovery Service in Italy. VeriSign has agreed to align with MSGI
as its representative in Italy, where MSGI will operate the VeriSign
NetDiscovery Service infrastructure in a data center operated by MSGI's AONet
International subsidiary. This modern, secured facility supports application
hosting, managed security, and disaster recovery and business continuity. .

The AONet International data center has been significantly upgraded to keep pace
with clients' ever-increasing requirements for secure data housing and
transmissions. More than 8 million Euros (approximately US $10 million) has been
invested in the facility to achieve the highest levels of data security and
technological durability.

The VeriSign NetDiscovery Service in Italy will support end-to-end legal
interception solutions addressing the government regulations and judicial
requirements for advanced technologies such as VoIP, push to talk, and wireless
packet data. In the United States, the VeriSign NetDiscovery Service assists
telecommunications service providers in ensuring compliance with real-time legal
interception requirements under the Communications Assistance for Law
Enforcement Act (CALEA) through a managed service model, significantly
minimizing the capital and operational expenditure. VeriSign also assists
providers in responding to requests for delivery of subscriber information and
historical billing/call detail records.

This business relationship represents a major corporate growth initiative for
MSGI. By aligning with VeriSign, MSGI will strongly enhance its existing legal
interception and video surveillance operations in Italy and, ultimately, across
Europe.

Raj Puri, vice president of VeriSign NetDiscovery Service, said, "MSGI Security
Solutions has a strong and growing presence in Italy's law enforcement services
market. The VeriSign NetDiscovery Service provides telecom network operators,
cable operators, and Internet service providers with a streamlined service to
help meet requirements for assisting government agencies with legal interception
and requests for subscriber records. This business relationship will allow
VeriSign and MSGI to harness our collective capabilities in establishing a
leadership position in Italy."



VeriSign has a strong presence in Europe with security services and mobile
content. In Italy, VeriSign has had an affiliate agreement for the past five
years with Trust Italia SpA for its authentication services. This agreement with
MSGI continues to show VeriSign's growth and commitment to expanding
communication services in Europe and in Italy.

Jeremy Barbera, chairman and CEO of MSGI Security Solutions, added, "MSGI's
alliance with VeriSign represents a major step forward in our corporate growth
strategy to expand service offerings across Italy and eventually the European
Union. Importantly, the VeriSign NetDiscovery Service will offer our law
enforcement agency clients in Italy the systems, services, and technical
assistance for legal interception - specifically those involving legal
interception compliance assistance with IP-based packet services."

In addition to AONet International, MSGI also provides services through Excelsa
SpA in the territory of Italy. Excelsa's flagship product, the Audio Logger, was
designed specifically for Italy's Ministry of Justice. The Audio Logger provides
a fully featured and easy-to-use means of gathering intelligence over telephony
communications. The product monitors phone calls as well as fax transmissions
over 16 analogue input channels simultaneously. The Audio Logger has been
successfully utilized on many occasions by the leading anti-terrorism agencies
in Italy. Excelsa, which has become one of Europe's leading providers of
outsourced video surveillance and security solutions, also offers its Real Time
Security Platform (RTS) - an ASP platform built to manage a network of standard
CCTV and IP-based surveillance cameras.
