TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2002

Fortress Technologies, a leading global provider of infrastructure security solutions for 802.11 wireless networks, has signed two new reseller agreements. Integration Specialists Inc. (ISI) and Cayman Systems, two leading Florida-based IT solutions providers, will resell Fortress' AirFortress(TM) suite of wireless infrastructure security products to clients in the corporate and government markets.

Orlando-based Cayman Systems is a supply chain management solutions specialist with more than 10 years experience in WLAN infrastructure design and implementation. The company's primary focus is in the warehouse and distribution marketplace where it serves large government, retail and healthcare clients. Tampa-based ISI is a VAR focused on security products and services. ISI assists corporate and government organizations around the globe in securing their infrastructures.

As partners in the "Fortress Select" reseller program both companies will specify AirFortress to eliminate security risks and re-establish confidence in WLAN communications.

"Our partnership with Fortress will enable us to make our new wireless projects ironclad and to retrofit many existing wireless networks to lock out intruders," said ISI president Andy Swenson. "Fortress gives us a comprehensive, practical and affordable solution to securing wireless networks in offices, hospitals, schools, factories and other locations."

"Fortress' WLAN security hardware and software is designed to facilitate seamless network integration and support a wide range of hand-held devices," said Tony Sabatino, president, Cayman Systems.

AirFortress, which recently was selected for deployment as the wireless security component in the U.S. Army's combat support network infrastructure, is comprised of:

-- Wireless Security Gateways, which are full-featured security appliances that
enforce network access rights and encrypt/decrypt communication across the
WLAN, while increasing performance.

-- Secure Client, a software client that encrypts/decrypts communication across
WLANs and protects the wireless devices against attacks. The client supports
bar scanners, PDAs, laptops and integrated wireless devices, across various
operating systems.

-- Access Control Server (ACS), a software application database designed to
monitor and manage the authentication and access control of wireless clients.
