As World Champion Jenson Button Joins McLaren SmoothWall and F1 in
Schools Ltd Power the Search for a Future F1 Champion

SmoothWall provides content filtering and firewall protection for F1 in
Schools Ltd

Leeds, UK, 23rd November 2009: Internet security specialist SmoothWall,
congratulates World Champion Jenson Button on his move to Mclaren and
announces that it is supporting F1 in Schools in its search for a future
F1 champion. The manufacturer of CAD/CAM machines and technology will
use SmoothWall's firewall and web-filtering security solutions to secure
the e-mail communication and web traffic, protecting the company's UK
workforce. 

Leveraging SmoothWall's Advanced Firewall and SmoothGuardian products,
staff at F1 in Schools are now free to concentrate on  the engineering
based competition rather than worrying about internet and email
security. The F1 in Schools project encourages children aged 9-19 from
32 countries to consider engineering as a career through a competition
to see who can build the best miniature F1 car. Denford Ltd a founding
partner and sponsor of F1 in Schools provide students with access to the
latest CAD/CAM software enabling them to design, analyse, manufacture,
and then race their scale model F1 cars (which are made from balsa wood
and powered by compressed gas canisters) along a 20-metre track. 

F1 in Schools is active in over 32 countries so it essential that the
company has secure communication channels and the latest firewall
protection. The deployment of the Advanced Firewall and SmoothGuardian
provides F1 in Schools with a power security solution which offers
time-based web filtering, monitoring and reporting with comprehensive
firewall protection. 

As well as protecting both staff and children involved in the project
from malicious internet based attacks, the agreement will allow staff at
F1 in Schools to ensure productivity levels remain high by intelligently
blocking undesirable or unapproved web sites. 

Andrew Denford, Founder and Chairman of F1 in Schools said: "We wanted
an organisation that had heritage and experience in both the security
and education market sectors; SmoothWall was the obvious choice. The
agreement will allow children throughout the world to safely acquire
important engineering skills not easily supported in schools, using very
latest technologies. 

Tom Newton, Product Manager at SmoothWall said: "I remember seeing F1 in
Schools at BETT - must be a few years ago now - and even back then, when
two consecutive British World Champions was just a pipe dream, I thought
it was a fantastic idea. We're proud to be able to help F1 in Schools
achieve their security goals, and I'm sure they're pleased to have UK
Education's favourite security software on side too."

About SmoothWall
The SmoothWall family of Internet security solutions helps enterprises

About F1 in Schools 
The competition challenges students to design, construct and race a race
car of the future, made from a block of balsa wood, and powered by a
compressed air canister. The car is raced over a 20 metre track and the
fastest time is recorded. Aside from the on-track action, teams also
produce supporting evidence of their design, develop a sponsorship and
marketing campaign and produce team merchandise, with all these elements
presented with their race car at a regional final where the winners win
a place to compete at the National Final with the chance to win a place
through to represent their country at the F1 in Schools World
Championships. 

F1 in Schools is regarded by the Formula One fraternity as a platform
for introducing Formula One to a global teen demographic. The student
challenge is also helping Formula One shed its image as an elitist sport
accessible only to multi-million pound budgets; on the contrary, F1 in
Schools is open to any school with access to a simple computer.
