Kaspersky Lab Celebrated as Tech Data Business Partner Award Winner

WOBURN, MA - November 5, 2007 - Kaspersky Lab, a leading provider of Internet threat management solutions that protect against viruses, spyware, hackers and spam, today announced it was named Tech Data Corporation's (NASDAQ: TECD) "Fast Start Business Partner" award winner for 2007 at the recent annual Tech Data Business Partner Summit.

The award comes in the inaugural year of a key distribution agreement between Kaspersky Lab and Tech Data. Launched in late 2006, Kaspersky quickly established a focused channel strategy to provide Tech Data resellers with access to the company's premium protection solutions and margin-rich sales opportunities. Throughout the year, Kaspersky also successfully engaged a wide array of resellers through Tech Data, enabling Kaspersky to grow its business and build share in the highly competitive security software market.

"We identified Tech Data as a key partner in our business-to-business sales model, and the combined success of our first year together showcases we made the right choice," said Steve Orenberg, president, Kaspersky Lab, Inc. "The Fast Start Business Partner award highlights our understanding of the unique needs of the value-added reseller channel, and we look forward to continually making a positive impact on the thousands of Tech Data reseller customers."

Kaspersky's resellers have discovered distinct competitive advantages and a clear path for growth within their network security practices. Kaspersky's partnership model is built on a three-part foundation: unparalleled network security solutions; a comprehensive, award-winning partner program comprised of sales, marketing, technology and operational program offerings; and an operating strategy that guarantees an ease of doing business not readily found in the market today.

"Business Partner Award recipients value strong channel partnerships and the contribution Tech Data and our IT resellers' customers make to their continued success," said Tech Data President, The Americas, Ken Lamneck. "They consistently collaborate with Tech Data to implement new, exciting marketing initiatives and ensure that resellers have access to the support and resources they need to grow their businesses. The business partners we recognize enable Tech Data to make a difference for our customers every day."
