BREA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 2000

Netlock Technologies Inc., a global provider of enterprise-wide security solutions, today announced plans to establish a series of security service centers called the Netlock Security Operations Centers (NSOC).

The initial centers will be operated by Netlock Technologies and the template for these will then be licensed by Netlock to distributors and other parties planning to operate a security service business. The centers will allow customers to easily access, manage and administer information security services. The NSOCs will also feature fully integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems through partnerships with SAP Inc. and Andersen Consulting, extending Netlock's security services to a management service.

Using the NSOC, companies will be able to meet ongoing administration requirements to manage complex information security infrastructures. The centers will deliver outsourced security infrastructure and services with minimal investment. In addition, Netlock will provide remote monitoring and administration of customers' information security systems. It also offers customers an efficient single interface for security maintenance, including timely upgrades and 24 x 7 monitoring.

"The cost of setting up data security systems and the difficulty of finding experts to manage these systems are major challenges for companies," said Selwyn Joffe, president and chief executive officer of Netlock Technologies. "Our model allows companies to conveniently deploy affordable policy management security systems to protect mission-critical extranets, intranets and other enterprise-wide networks easily.

The NSOCs will utilize Netlock's easily deployable and manageable computer-to-computer software that delivers security association establishment, management, encryption, intrusion detection and auditing functions. This software provides unprecedented security for data in motion by protecting against virtually any kind of network intrusion, including snooping, impersonation, SYN attacks, session hijacking and sequence number attacks. Netlock offers an enterprise solution that runs on all popular operating systems.
