Date: 18 November 2002 AdminForce Ships Powerwall® 3 Network Security SystemNew Powerwall 3NSS incorporates security measures to fight criminal use of the Internet and provide network protection for companies with limited in-house IT capability Boulder, CO — November 18, 2002 — AdminForce Remote LLC (www.AdminForce.net) has announced the availability of its next generation Powerwall® 3 Network Security System (NSS). Priced at $4,700, the new Powerwall 3 includes: one year of 24x7x365 monitoring, automated upgrades, weekly activity reports and a full range of proxy services. It also features an advanced Intrusion Detection System with alarm and early warning elements, plus criminal protection measures to help prevent security breaches and criminal activity before they occur. Powerwall 3 NSS is designed with cutting edge technology to meet the security requirements of industry and institutional network operations. Charles "Buck" Fleming, Chairman and CEO of AdminForce LLC, says the product's new security features enable even small- and moderate-sized businesses to obtain protection that until now was available only to enterprise operations. "With today's lack of preventive network security, it's not surprising that Internet criminals are plundering corporate networks for credit card data, personnel records and proprietary information," says Fleming. "Powerwall 3 was created after a year-long development effort by some of the brightest minds in network security in the U.S. Our team has answered the need for an affordable Internet/network protection product for companies with limited in-house IT capability." Fleming says it's amazing how frequently stories about curious teenagers breaking into a network vault make the news because networks are so ineffectively protected. However, he explains that the continual inability of most businesses to meet basic network security requirements is often simply a question of available IT talent and budget. Unlike other network security firewalls that often require IT staff trained in security issues and capable of regular monitoring and upgrading, Powerwall 3 offers a quality monitoring protection and detection package that does not require additional IT staff or significant capital expenditure. "Product development at AdminForce is focused on the active prevention of network security breaches," says Fleming. "Our company's years of experience in remote administration and prevention of criminal use of the Internet has given our staff the skill set needed to develop the advanced features found in the Powerwall 3 product." Powerwall 3NSS is available at no extra cost to existing Powerwall customers as part of the usual upgrade procedure.

The Powerwall® 3 Network Security System is the latest addition to the AdminForce product line that is setting new standards of Internet protection. Powerwall® 3NSS is designed with cutting edge technology to meet security requirements of industry and institutional network operations. Powerwall® 3NSS provides a level of network security protection in a turnkey service package not previously available. The design and new security elements of Powerwall® 3NSS will enable moderate- and small-sized business to obtain protection that until now was available only to enterprise operations. Powerwall® 3NSS includes a remote installation element as well as remote monitoring, weekly activity reports and a sophisticated Intrusion Detection System with alarm and early warning elements. The Powerwall® 3NSS has been created after a year long development program as the answer to network protection for companies with limited in-house IT capability. The new product has been designed for installation with remote services which will provide the constant attention that adequate protection requires. AdminForce has brought together the remote tools needed to give companies a quality monitoring, protection and detection package that does not require additional IT staff or significant capital expenditure. Charles B. Fleming, Chairman and CEO of AdminForce LLC said, "the continual inability of most business to meet basic network security requirements is often simply a question of available IT talent and the budget to provide bullet-proof security. Most companies cannot get their arms around the network security issue because there have been no quality security systems that fit budget requirements and staffing realities. Firewalls that provide security often require IT staff trained in security issues and capable of monitoring and upgrading on a regular basis. The cost of those requirements has been prohibitive in many businesses until now. Powerwall® 3NSS answers the problem". Fleming continued, "AdminForce has been active in the development of security answers to criminal use of the Internet for years. Till now most of our product development activity has been directed to enterprise operations and law enforcement efforts. Those activities have provided us with the skill set required to develop the Powerwall® 3 Network Security System. It has never made sense to me that our networks are so ineffectively protected that we read about curious teenagers breaking into a network vault that holds valuable information. It is not surprising that Internet criminals are plundering corporate networks for credit card data, personnel records, and proprietary information. Powerwall® 3 Network Security System is an answer. It is affordable Internet/network protection that meets responsible security concerns."

He further said that this product "adds an element of offense to the security issue. Until now, Firewalls have been the modern equivalent of the medieval castle with a defensive siege structure, but firewalls do not have the ability to pour hot oil on attempted plunderers. The modern attackers are hidden behind a maze of network complexity." Quick and automated detection is part of the AdminForce Powerwall®. The intrusion is blocked and then followed by an automated report to the client. An AdminForce rapid response element is prepared to react to identify the source and follow up with notification of the appropriate Law Enforcement Computer Crime Unit if the client desires this follow up. The AdminForce Powerwall® is Linux-based and can include content filtering and automated reporting, if this is a client requirement. The genesis of the product was designed by LinuxForce, the development affiliate of AdminForce Remote, to meet the needs of large enterprise clients. The product is being brought to market at a price level that will make it available to businesses that previously could not afford this sophisticated level of network protection.
