Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 2000

Recourse Technologies, Inc., an emerging leader in Internet security, today announced the newest release of its ManTrap(TM) software, the first application that enables organizations to trap intruders and control attacks.

The latest release of ManTrap includes powerful improvements, such as a more robust "cage" for trapping hackers and enhanced email content for the decoy. This release is also available for the first time in a separate international version for worldwide deployment complying with US encryption export requirements.

By complying with the US government export requirements, ManTrap 1.5 is now available for customers worldwide. "Worldwide commercial availability of strong covert security applications is fast becoming a necessity to ensure network security as unauthorized access by outsiders and insiders continues to rise," stated Frank Huerta, CEO and President of Recourse Technologies.

The ManTrap software allows customers to:

--   Trap hackers inside a "cage" based on a real operating system,
     providing a containment environment that is indistinguishable
     from the real environment.

--   Observe hackers' actions and methods, and collect data on the
     attacker for use in track-back or prosecution.

--   Gain time to respond to the attack and make security
     modifications.

ManTrap software addresses serious security needs for companies that rely on the Internet and enterprise networks to conduct business. Security technologies like firewalls and intrusion detection products protect network resources, but when a break-in occurs, companies increasingly want to be able to respond to attacks and apprehend intruders. Recourse addresses this need with its covert security products.

"ManTrap allows us to keep an eye on the actions and techniques of intruders so that we can make needed security policy enhancements and actually address more serious intrusions," said Leroy Lacy, Senior Director of Risk Management at Exodus Communications. Exodus has utilized ManTrap for several months now.

Pricing and Availability

ManTrap 1.5 will be available for purchase by the end of January. In the US, pricing for ManTrap 1.5 begins at $3,495, per server. To place an order or to speak with a member of the sales team about the product, call 877/786-9633.
