Business Editors

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1, 2002

Donald J. Massaro, President and CEO of Array Networks, and a panel of security experts will address the "ROI of Security" as part of the Yankee Group's "Securing the Enterprise" conference tour. The day-long events will be held in Santa Clara (April 5), Washington DC (April 8), and New York (April 10). Massaro will discuss the need for a new generation of networking solutions that provide hardened security for enterprises deploying Web services.

"Emerging technologies like Web services and collaborative systems will transform business and promise tremendous ROI benefits, but they also expose companies to new security concerns and vulnerabilities as they open their networks to partners, customers, and remote workers," said Massaro. "At Array Networks, we're working to provide the end-to-end security infrastructure required to efficiently and securely manage the exploding quantity of business-critical data surging through the Internet."

Mary Ann Davidson, Oracle Corp.'s Chief Security Officer, will deliver the conference keynote. In addition to Massaro, other speakers include executives from TruSecure, ArcSight, Equant, MicroMuse, OpenService, and Nortel Networks, as well as Yankee Group analysts specializing in security for e-business and e-networks.

"Now is the time for security-focused companies to come together and share best practices in a national setting," said Matthew Kovar, CFA, Director of Yankee Group's Security Solutions and Services Planning Service.

Press are invited to attend the conference. For more information, please go to www.securingtheenterprise.com.
