Infrax Systems, Inc., (OTCBB: IFXY), a global provider of unified

"We are very pleased that Mr. Kahn will be attending the
conference with Infrax and will be in our booth throughout the
conference to address Cyber Security issues and the benefits of
Infrax's grid security solutions," said Paul J. Aiello, CEO of
Infrax Systems. "His insight and experiences over the past few
years of heightened cyber-attack activity have played a pivotal
role in the development of our strategic direction to secure the
global energy grid."
Mr. Kahn has an extensive background in cyber-security and risk
management having previously served as a Director for
Cyber-Security Policy at the White House under the Obama
Administration and in various roles at the Department of Homeland

Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State Department, and the
Department of Defense to develop the strategies and policies that
guide our nation's cyber defenses.
"Undoubtedly, one of our nation's most critical infrastructures
is the power grid, and as we continue to embrace Smart Grid
technologies our power grid becomes more and more vulnerable to
cyber attacks and incidents," states Ely Kahn, Infrax Systems
Advisor. "Infrax has developed unique technological solutions to
secure the Smart Grid, and I believe their approach sets them apart
from other Smart Grid solution providers."
