Business Editors

FAIRFIELD, N.J. & TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2001

JAWZ Inc. (Nasdaq:JAWZ), a leading provider of secure information management solutions today announced that since the inception of the Computer Incident Response Team (C.I.R.T.) earlier this year, the team has responded to more than eleven cases of computer incidences from Fortune 500 companies and requests for investigation and forensics as far away as the Middle East.

"Cybercrime is on the rise and it's becoming very sophisticated," states Robert Kubbernus, Chairman and CEO at JAWZ Inc. "To date, legislation lags far behind technology with respect to security breaches and computer crimes. Businesses have no choice but to absorb the responsibility for the security of their most valuable asset - their data."

JAWZ C.I.R.T. led by Dr. Gregory Miles is uniquely positioned to respond when there is a security breach. The service is immediate and confidential. The risks to a company that experience a security breach are numerous and potentially devastating, ranging from expensive downtime, sales and productivity loss, corrupted data and most importantly, damage to reputation and breaches of customer confidentiality. With all of this at stake, it is imperative that companies manage their risk on the front-end and are positioned to respond rapidly and effectively to any security breach.

"We're finding that companies are starting to call us proactively to become an integral part of their Business Recovery Plans," states Dr. Miles. "There is no such thing as 'absolute security", only mitigating risk - and that's where we come in. We've assembled a top-notch team of security professionals and state-of-the-art forensics labs. We feel we're uniquely positioned to serve our customers from emergency response through to forensics."

Miles added, "Cybercrime is growing exponentially. The technology and the tools are available not only to the professionals, but are very easily obtained by the 'bad guys'. Most recently we've witnessed attacks of the US government Computer Security Group (CERT), which goes to prove that no one is immune to these kinds of attacks."

The Cyber Crime Response Group will address the pressing need for incidence response, cyber crime investigation and computer forensics through-out the US and Canada via their offices in Edmonton, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Alabama. Additional support will be available through the New Jersey, Toronto and Calgary JAWZ offices.
