HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 2002

EBIZ Enterprises Incorporated ("EBIZ") (OTCBB:EBPR), the Houston-based computing solutions provider, announced today the immediate availability of a new line of network firewalls and security servers based on the Check Point SecurePlatform software suite.

Terian TCP Firewalls can be used to secure small business, medium business and enterprise office computing networks from a wide array of data intrusion and denial-of-service attacks.

Terian TCP Firewalls and Security Servers combine industry-standard hardware and a hardened Linux operating system with market-leading Check Point software to deliver maximum network security with low total cost of ownership.

"The Terian TCP product line delivers the convenience of an appliance with the flexibility and affordability of a server," said Don Young, EBIZ director of Production Development. "Terian TCP firewalls are ideal enterprise-class network security gateways."

EBIZ announced three different models in the Terian TCP product line.

-- The TCP11 entry-level firewall, with dual 10/100 Ethernet ports, designed for sites with fewer than 50 workstations.

-- The TCP13 mid-range firewall, with two to four Gigabit Ethernet ports, designed for use in larger remote offices.

-- The TCP23 high-performance firewall and security server, with dual high-speed Intel Xeon processors and up to eight gigabit Ethernet ports, designed for maximum stress environments as are often found in large corporate data centers.

"Terian TCP firewalls supply the high level of network security provided by the Check Point software suite in a cost-effective and ready-to-use package," added Young. "Each Terian TCP model delivers a fully preinstalled copy of Check Point Software Technologies' SecurePlatform and VPN-1/FireWall-1 software ready for license activation."
