HOUSTON -- Focusing on IT security and regulatory compliance, BindView Corp. (Nasdaq:BVEW) announced today that Frank W. Abagnale -- one of the world's most respected authorities on the subject of forgery, embezzlement and secure documents -- will be the featured guest keynote speaker at its INSIGHT05 Conference scheduled for March 9, 10 and 11, 2005. Abagnale's life story is depicted in the motion picture and best-selling book, "Catch Me If You Can," and for the past 25 years has lectured and consulted on document security and fraud issues with thousands of financial institutions, governments and corporations around the world.

BindView's INSIGHT05 Conference is an educational forum designed to help customers and partners meet the challenges of IT security and compliance requirements while achieving even greater return on IT investments. The conference provides participants with the opportunity to learn from industry leaders, share best practices, exchange ideas and face-off with security and compliance pundits.

"With malicious cyber attacks increasingly commonplace, the only measure of control is prevention," said Abagnale. "BindView provides organizations with solutions to build comprehensive enterprise security and compliance plans to combat weaknesses serving as potential gateways for would-be perpetrators."

BindView's globally recognized security expert Mark "Simple Nomad" Loveless will also deliver an address at INSIGHT05, providing conference participants with a glimpse into the global black hat hacking community. Loveless, a member of BindView's elite RAZOR team of security researchers, will conduct "Black Hat Attack Trends," a session that focuses on providing advanced system administrators with the latest trends in the international hacking community. The session will also highlight the latest attack methods from professional spammers and organized crime groups on the Internet, and provide basic tools and techniques for protecting enterprise IT networks.
