SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2000

Leverages decade of industry experience to help customers close the

gap between risk and opportunity

CyberSafe Corporation, the leader in transactional security, today announced its vision and strategy for accelerating the adoption and increasing security of transactions between on-line business processes.

Company executives are presently briefing business, financial and industry trade press, and IT analysts, providing them with detailed information on the CyberSafe strategy and positioning.

"CyberSafe has positioned itself to take advantage of the high-growth e-commerce industry through selective partnerships, a global reseller program, and by taking an aggressive role as the leader in transactional security," states Dennis Szerszen, Director of Security Strategies for Hurwitz Group, a leading industry analyst firm.

"To fully accelerate e-business, companies must have competencies in both enterprise and transactional security," states Jim Cannavino, CyberSafe's CEO and Chairman of the Board. "Enterprise security is defined as securing the boundaries between parties. Transactional security is defined as securing interactions between parties in a boundless environment. CyberSafe provides these necessary components, enabling our customers to close the gap between risk and opportunity."

With nearly a decade of security experience, including many innovations and developments now considered industry standard, CyberSafe will leverage its three areas of core competency and expertise:

-- The knowledge and foresight to enable customers to securely

grow their business

-- Customer relationships based upon accountability and

collaboration

-- Increased business value through selective partnerships

As the industry leader in transactional security, CyberSafe will leverage this experience, close customer relationships, and strategic partnerships in three areas of business:

-- Transaction Services

-- Managed Services 

-- Infrastructure Solutions

"Our mission is to provide customers with secured transactions that enable them to leverage the power of the Internet and accelerate their business growth with confidence and minimized risk," states Cannavino. "In the Internet economy, securing electronic transactions is essential for businesses looking to quickly and fully capitalize on opportunities."

As the catalyst in this endeavor, CyberSafe contributes required services and the essential technology. These services and technology are complemented by partner components. In all, this solution addresses online debit and credit card fraud, identity theft, and transaction privacy concerns.
