For Immediate Release

FM::NEXUS ANNOUNCES ACCOUNT MANAGER SECURITY CHALLENGE

– FileMaker Database Administrators Are Challenged to Find a Way to Bypass Account Manager, and Win a 30GB iPod –

OAKLAND, Calif., March 14, 2007 – FM::Nexus today announced the Account Manager™ Security Challenge for database administrators of FileMaker® 8 or greater. Starting immediately administrators can sign-up to participate, and are challenged to bypass Account Manager 2 (now shipping, see related release dated today) to successfully log-in to the "Amy" database. The winner will receive a 30GB iPod.

"Account Manager 2 makes centrally managing database access, accounts and privileges more effortless than ever before, but effortless means little if security isn't assured," explained Vincenzo Menanno, founder and president of FM::Nexus. "The security challenge puts Account Manager 2 to the test, to really see if it is as air-tight as we think."

The challenge itself requires administrators find a way to bypass Account Manager to log into the "Amy" database directly. Participants are assigned a username and password, and tasked with bypassing Account Manager to obtain the master-level username and password for AMY.fp7, which is also stored inside Account Manager. If a participant is successful, a dialog box will appear containing a code to send to FM::Nexus with an explanation revealing the method used, which ends the contest. The Account Manager Security Challenge runs today through March 23, 2007. Only one 30GB iPod will be awarded. Any FileMaker administrator can sign up to participate in the security challenge at: .
