FishNet Security Releases Version 2.0 of FireMon

Firemon is the Industry's First Firewall Revision Control and Auditing Product Designed Specifically for Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 and Nokia Security Platforms

ANAHEIM, California, Check Point Experience -- April 25, 2002 - FishNet Security, one of the country's largest Network Security Integrators, today announced the release of FireMon version 2.0 as the industry's first firewall revision control and auditing product optimized to run on the market-leading VPN-1/FireWall-1 from Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP) and Nokia's IPSO security platform. FireMon will be unveiled at Check Point Experience, the annual customer and partner conference currently being held in Anaheim, California.

"We are very excited about this ground-breaking release of our FireMon software," says Gary Fish, CEO of FishNet Security. "This new release has a completely redesigned GUI and many new features that solve the regulatory restrictions of audit control that companies are facing today. By combining auditing and revision control for both Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 and the Nokia IPSO operating system, we have truly developed a complete firewall auditing and change control tool."

"Our customers require comprehensive firewall policy management, including on-the-fly policy auditing, archiving, reporting and restoration control, to quickly identify adverse changes in their network," said Upesh Patel, manager of the OPSEC Alliance for Check Point Software Technologies. "We are pleased to see FishNet working towards OPSEC certification for its new FireMon 2.0 firewall revision control product."
