Reflex Security Names New Board Members from Duke Energy, Southern Company and University of Rochester

Leading Next Generation Intrusion Detection and Prevention Vendor Fills Open Board Seats With Two Veteran CIOs and One Prominent Academician

ATLANTA -- November 17, 2003 -- Reflex Security, an industry visionary in the development of Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems, today announced that leaders from Duke Energy, Southern Company and University of Rochester have been appointed to the company's Board of Directors.

Receiving board seats at Reflex Security are Cecil Smith, senior vice president and chief information officer, Duke Energy; Becky Blalock, senior vice president & CIO for Southern Company; and Charles E. Phelps, provost, University of Rochester. These announcements further extend the collective experience, market awareness and vision of the company.

"We are very excited about the caliber and experience that our new Board members bring to our company," said Jim Watson, chairman and CEO at Reflex Security. "As recognized Information Technology veterans and business leaders in their respective industries, they will provide invaluable strategic, tactical and governance direction to Reflex Security."

According to new board member Blalock, an accomplished business and IT executive, "Cyber security is one of the major issues impacting all corporations and organizations today and utilities, in particular, are concerned about these threats."

Smith, a seasoned IT veteran in the banking and energy industries, added, "Because malicious activities have become more complex and are happening with greater regularity, comprehensive and reliable intrusion detection and intrusion prevention solutions are essential."

In addition, Mr. Phelps, a well known educational leader, stated, "Universities, colleges and institutions of higher learning are being confronted with very complex issues related to the protection of intellectual property and overall malicious activity that may occur on their networks. Legal and regulatory trends related to privacy and cyber security are key issues in academia today."

As organizations demand the capability of managing an ever more extensive and complex security landscape with fewer IT security experts, Reflex Security's mission is to help enterprises detect and prevent malicious external and internal attacks to their computer systems efficiently and in a cost-effective manner.
