HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 2003

Dr. Bill Braithwaite Joins BindView Security Experts for

March 11 Webinar Outlining Tips and Best Practices for

Reaching Full HIPAA Compliance

BindView Corporation (NASDAQ: BVEW), a leading provider of security management solutions, announced today that Bill Braithwaite, MD, PhD, will join BindView security expert Scott Blake for a March 11, 2003 Webinar, "Five Keys to Interpreting the New HIPAA Security Standards Like a Pro."

Dr. James Hansen of DynTek, Inc., an internationally recognized leader in the area of security and technical training, will also participate in the Webinar.

The free, 90-minute event will provide participants with valuable tips on how to deliver cost effective security programs under the recently finalized Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Standards. It is vital that security executives understand the implications of recent changes to the HIPAA Security Standards and how compliance requirements may be as immediate as the upcoming Privacy Standard deadline on April 14, 2003. During the BindView Webinar, Dr. Braithwaite and Dr. Hansen will help organizations affected by HIPAA interpret and act judiciously upon the new concept of "required" vs. "addressable" implementation specifications.

"There is more urgency surrounding HIPAA compliance than ever before due to the April 14, 2003 privacy deadline that is quickly approaching," said Dr. Braithwaite, now the director of PriceWaterhouseCooper's national HIPAA advisory group. "These privacy rules and the newly-finalized security standards dictate "appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards." When companies and executives can come together to discuss best practices and industry standards, everyone benefits and achieving compliance with these complex statutes and regulations becomes less of a daunting challenge."

This informative and interactive Webinar offers expert guidance on how best to address the compliance issues raised by HIPAA. Additionally, the event's three panelists will provide participants with real-world advice on how to successfully:

-- Interpret the new HIPAA security requirements

-- Prepare for HIPAA security - What every CIO/CSO needs to know

-- Dissect a successful HIPAA security audit

-- Implement HIPAA security standards cost effectively

"HIPAA compliance presents organizations with unrivaled security and privacy challenges coupled with an aggressive deadline," said Dr. Hansen, Vice President of Security Services at DynTek. "Webinars like this one presented by BindView help organizations address those challenges in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Not only is the event free to all participants, but it brings together people who really understand the HIPAA regulations and, therefore, can offer the most comprehensive strategies and real-world tactics for tackling HIPAA compliance projects."

"When it comes to understanding the full scope of the HIPAA requirements and regulations, there is perhaps no one more qualified than Dr. Braithwaite and, therefore, no one more valuable in terms of providing HIPAA guidance," said Chris Mullins, Director of Compliance Solutions at BindView. "Dr. Braithwaite's involvement in crafting the HIPAA legislation gives him a deeper appreciation for the security and privacy challenges every healthcare organization is facing today as they work to become fully compliant before the upcoming HIPAA deadline. His participation in the BindView Webinar offers our customers - and any other interested organizations - the ability to leverage his expertise in their ongoing HIPAA compliance endeavors."
