Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2003

New Federal Sales Director and Security Consulting Partner

Support Growing Momentum in Government Sector

BindView Corporation (NASDAQ: BVEW), a leading provider of security management solutions, announced the addition of Peter G. Otis as director of federal sales, reporting to David Flame, vice president sales and field operations for the Americas, and a partnership with DynTek, Inc. (NASDAQ: DYTK), a leading provider of security consulting and support services to U.S. state and local government. These moves expand BindView's presence within federal, state and local government agencies.

According to IDC's December 2002 North American Internet Security Spending Report, security has taken center stage in government IT priorities. The report indicates that the federal government is planning a 56 percent increase in spending on IT security technology to reach $4.2 billion in 2003, from $2.7 billion in 2002. BindView's product families, including bv-Control, bv-Admin and Policy Center, provide comprehensive security solutions that help government agencies and organizations secure their systems and attain full compliance with security regulations.

"Spending reports and compliance initiatives point to a significant market opportunity for security vendors," stated David Flame at BindView. "In Peter Otis, we have found the leadership and experience needed to continue our momentum and sustain growth in our government sector business. His efforts are further supported by BindView's award-winning solutions, which were first to be certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) under the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG)."

Otis joins BindView's office in the federal district bringing 12 years of government sales and management leadership to the team. Prior to BindView, Otis was vice president and senior federal sales executive at Intrusion, Inc., an intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment provider, and also tenured with American Systems Corp and LTV Aerospace.

DynTek Partnership Aids State and Local Agencies with FISMA Compliance

As federal agencies continue their push to eliminate system vulnerabilities, state and local agencies are also being required to ensure compliance with security threat prevention regulations such as the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). BindView announced today a relationship with security services provider DynTek to jointly deliver solutions for compliance.

"State and local governments are queuing priorities to lock down their IT infrastructures," said Michael Stoeger, director of alliance partnerships for BindView. "Combining BindView's leading security-management technology with DynTek's security-consulting and government expertise, yields a comprehensive solution that can be scaled and tailored to the unique needs of agencies, helping to protect them against ever-evolving external and internal security threats."

DynTek and BindView will jointly conduct a free Webinar, March 11, at 9:00AM Central Standard Time, titled "Security Policy and Compliance Measurement." The partners will also launch a series of in-depth workshops on the same topic to be conducted in New York City, Sacramento, Detroit, and Austin in March.

"Partnering with BindView is a fantastic opportunity for our organization and enhances our value proposition to our customers," said Denny Denniston, DynTek's senior vice president of business development. "Together, we offer state and local governments a best-in-class approach to securing their information-technology systems and applications, including comprehensive solutions for vulnerability assessment, configuration management, policy creation, enforcement and verification."
