re your question about companies doing security intelligence...


( BW)(CA-SECURITYFOCUS.COM) SecurityFocus.com Secures Funding to Launch New 
Security Intelligence Services; Investment Brings Series B Funding to $2.5 
Million

     Business Editors & High Tech Writers

     SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2001-- SecurityFocus.com, 
the leading provider of security intelligence services for business, today 
announced that it has closed on an additional $1 million of Series B 
funding, bringing the total Series B to $2.5 million. The capital was 
provided by a group of private angel investors. The company will use the 
funds to accelerate the launch of its next generation of security 
intelligence services.

     Security intelligence encompasses the latest information about 
software vulnerabilities, viruses, breaking news and attacks, which enable 
companies to prevent security breaches. Without the benefit of security 
intelligence, attackers can go right through correctly configured security 
products and gain full access and control of companies' data and information.

     "We are excited about the launch of our new set of security 
intelligence services," said Arthur Wong, chief executive officer of 
SecurityFocus.com. "This investment enables us to expand our leadership 
position beyond our existing licensing services and reach a broader base of 
customers."

     SecurityFocus.com has partnered with a number of leading security 
product and service providers to deliver security intelligence services to 
corporate customers. Partners include Articon Integralis, Counterpane 
Internet Security, Inc., Intrusion.com, METASeS, OneSecure, and Qualys.

     The SecurityFocus.com vulnerability database is currently available 
for license globally on a subscription basis. The new security intelligence 
services are scheduled to roll out in the first quarter of 2001.
