GLOBALSCAPE® RECEIVES TWO GLOBAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS

Mail Express™ and TappIn™ by GlobalSCAPE® recognized for security and mobility

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -March 7, 2012-For the second consecutive year, GlobalSCAPE Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB) was recognized by Info Security Products Guide as a "Global Excellence Award" winner. GlobalSCAPE's Mail Express™ and TappIn™ by GlobalSCAPE® both took top honors for 2012 in the "Email Management and Security" and the "Software as a Service (SaaS)/Cloud Solutions" categories, respectively. GlobalSCAPE's Managed Information Xchange solution captured the SaaS/Cloud Solution award in 2011.

"Mail Express and TappIn demonstrate our market-leading approach to innovation and development," says GlobalSCAPE CEO Jim Morris. "Whether we are building solutions from the ground up or adding them through targeted acquisitions, like TappIn, that bring long term value to our customers, GlobalSCAPE is committed to enabling businesses and consumers to access and share information quickly, securely, and reliably."

Mail Express allows Microsoft® Outlook users to seamlessly and securely send and receive large files, up to 25 GB, in lieu of alternatives like private email accounts, social media sites, CDs, and USB drives-options that are cumbersome to use or provide inadequate security. In addition, Mail Express increases visibility, oversight, and security of file transfers while reducing IT help desk involvement and offloading attachments from expensive email storage.

TappIn by GlobalSCAPE allows users to instantly access and securely share all files stored on an office or home computer from any web browser and all popular mobile devices, eliminating the need for uploading, syncing, or paying for additional cloud storage. The TappIn service securely accesses the user's existing storage devices, allows sharing files of any size, and provides encryption to safeguard content.

The Global Excellence Awards are awarded by the Info Security Products Guide, the industry's leading information security research and advisory guide, and recognizes excellence in all areas of information security including the industry's best products, people, and companies. A panel of more than 50 judges from a broad spectrum of industries around the world determines the finalists and winners. Winners this year were announced during an awards dinner and presentation on Feb. 29, 2012 in San Francisco.
