Consul Selected to Present at MAVA Capital Connection 2005 Venture Showcase; Security Audit and Compliance Expert Chosen by Mid-Atlantic Venture Association as One of the Hottest Companies in the DC Region.

HERNDON, Va. -- Consul risk management, Inc., a renowned expert in enterprise security audit and compliance solutions, today announced that it was one of 42 companies selected from hundreds of candidates to present at the exclusive Mid-Atlantic Venture Association (MAVA)/Capital Connection 2005 Venture Showcase. Joseph Sander, president and CEO of Consul, will present Consul and its Consul Insight(TM) Suite, which provides a strategic platform for both real-time security operations and strategic auditing and compliance management to some of the biggest companies in the world in finance, retail, manufacturing and healthcare.

Held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore, MD on May 31 and June 1, Capital Connection 2005 will showcase the premier investment opportunities in the mid-Atlantic region of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Expected to attract more than 1,000 attendees from local and national equity firms, entrepreneurial and professional service firms, the fair will provide a unique venue for a select group of local entrepreneurial companies.

As part of Consul's selection, the Company will exhibit and present its business case-- highlighting its technology, marketing strategy, and financial and customer growth plans--at the Capital Connection 2005 fair.

"The companies chosen to present at Capital Connection 2005 this year are some of the true stars of our region," said Harry Weller, co-chair Capital Connection 2005 and partner at New Enterprise Associates. "We have selected a dynamic slate of companies that are among the best emerging companies with talented management teams, exciting technologies and solid business strategies."

Consul InSight is the cornerstone for hundreds of companies' insider activity auditing and compliance initiatives. Consul InSight uses a patent-pending W7 (Who, did What, When, Where, Where from, Where to and on What) methodology to consolidate, normalize and analyze vast amounts of user behavior and system activity, delivering instant alerts and reports on who touched what information and how those actions may violate external regulations or internal security policies.

"Consul's presence at the MAVA conference affords us the opportunity to share what we're hearing from customers and prospects: that we've developed a 'must have' security audit and compliance solution to address their stringent corporate policies and government regulatory compliance needs," said Joe Sander. "Consul InSight enables organizations to gain a clearer understanding of user behavior and system and device activity to determine who touched what data and if that activity violates policy. Consul continues to expand the InSight solution based on industry and customer demands to all areas of the enterprise focused on compliance."
