GLOBALSCAPE POSITIONED IN LEADERS QUADRANT IN LEADING
INDUSTRY ANALYST FIRM'S MAGIC QUADRANT FOR MANAGED FILE TRANSFER
SAN ANTONIO, Texas. - October 5, 2009 - GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB), a leading developer of secure information exchange solutions, announced today that it has been positioned as a Leader in Gartner's 2009 Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer (MFT).(The report is titled Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer, L. Frank Kenney, September 18, 2009)
Gartner described GlobalSCAPE and other leaders as the companies "most likely to have high revenue and commitment to the market, high market share and installed bases, and products that are of interest to a large audience." Gartner also noted that in many cases, as is true with GlobalSCAPE, "these vendors also have long histories in this market. However, new leaders in this market are demonstrating the ability to introduce new technologies and strategies, such as governing collaboration, or have demonstrated the ability to reach newer market segments, such as small or midsize businesses (SMBs). Finally, leaders have presented domain expertise and compelling messages that have penetrated the market (intentionally or unintentionally)."

GlobalSCAPE's strengths include having a broad solution portfolio, which includes managed and ad hoc file delivery. In addition, GlobalSCAPE has won high-profile contracts with the U.S. Army and other government agencies, and obtained industry validations and certifications.
