SAN JOSE, CA–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – Secure Computing Corporation (NASDAQ: SCUR), a

leading enterprise gateway security company, today announced preliminary

results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. Based upon preliminary

financial data that has not yet been reviewed by the company’s auditors,

the company anticipates that GAAP revenue for the first quarter will be in

the range of $60 to $61 million, and non-GAAP revenue will be in the range

of $65 to $66 million. Billings for the quarter are expected to be

approximately $69 million. In its financial results press release on

February 4, 2008, the company provided first quarter 2008 guidance for GAAP

revenues to be in the range of $64 to $66 million, non-GAAP revenues to be

in the range of $67 to $69 million, and billings to be in the range of $76

to $79 million.

$5.0 to $6.0 million, before the impact of any NOL utilization on tax

expense. Fully diluted non-GAAP earnings-per-share is expected to be

between $0.06 and $0.07, compared to the company’s prior guidance of $0.07
