Media Release (Infrastructure Enabling Group)

Singapore-listed DMX Group secures breakthrough security


solution and services contract in South Korea

Singapore, 8 December 2009 – SGX Mainboard-listed leading digital media services


and application solutions provider, DMX Technologies Group Limited (“DMX” or the
“Group”; SGX: 5CH.SI), today announced that one of its wholly owned subsidiary, DMX
Technologies Korea Co Ltd (“DMX Korea”), has secured a breakthrough contract to supply
information technology (“IT”) security solution and services to one of South Korea’s main
government agencies overseeing IT security-related matters.

The initial security solution and consulting services contract to DMX Korea is to put in place
effective security surveillance against malicious cyber-attacks, namely Distributed Denial-
of-Services (“DDoS”) for the agency. This will allow the agency to render all-year, round-
the-clock traffic monitoring and threat management services for government departments.

A DDoS attack involves bombarding a targeted organisation’s IT system with large


amounts of data over an extended period such that the overloaded system can no longer
provide the intended functions to legitimate users, e.g., failure of e-communication media
and significant slowdown of the whole system. Typically, an attack would entail the
marshalling of multiple “zombie” personal computers across the external network that had
been infected by a hacker, to simultaneously drive heavy traffic volume to the target.

Commenting on the initial contract, DMX Group’s CEO, Ms. Jismyl Teo, said, “DMX is
delighted to have secured the agency’s trust in our domain expertise of security solution
and consulting services within our infrastructure enabling group. The focus we have
placed in building our security expertise in Korea is also yielding its results. The agency’s
endorsement elevates DMX Korea’s competitive position and we are confident of
continuing to build on the relationship with them.”

The DDoS attacks in July 2009, which affected major service providers in Korea including
email service providers and government agencies, as well as global social networking
websites like Twitter and Facebook, served as nasty wake-up calls to companies in Korea
– that unseen tech-savvy mischief-makers constantly prowl cyberspace seeking to
maliciously exploit loop-holes in IT systems and shut down companies’ daily operations.

Mr Baek Boo Seon, President of DMX Korea added, “Many government agencies are
strengthening the IT security infrastructure as a result of the recent DDos attacks. This has
hastened the business opportunities in security solutions and services for DMX Korea. In
addition, this has provided us a platform to consider launching a security operation centre
in Korea.”
