WildPackets Omni³™ Named "Most Innovative Solution of SecureGOV 2004"

Walnut Creek, CA - December 20, 2004

WildPackets Inc., innovator in advanced network services fault analysis, today announced that its Omni3 v2.0 distributed network fault analysis platform had been voted "Most Innovative Solution of SecureGOV 2004" by government attendees. The conVurge 2nd Annual SecureGOV 2004 Strategic Intelligence Meeting, which took place December 5-7 in Virginia, provides senior government security officials with information needed to implement information security strategies and maximize IT investments.

"SecureGOV's format highlights network security issues and brings leading edge products to key decision-makers to consider as possible solutions," commented Jim Fogarty, Telecommunications Manager, Department of Homeland Security.

"Government organizations across the board express frustration with constantly fighting fires on their networks. So we ask ‘What if you had an early warning system that alerted you days in advance of potential problems from any segment and multiple segments of your network?’ When network managers see and understand the capability of Omni3, excitement, relief, and action follow," said Sean McCarty, Senior Federal Sales Representative, who met with government officials at the event.

"I have yet to see a company receive such high regard from our federal clients. WildPackets added tremendous value to the program and deserves the much-anticipated federal business headed their way," said Kelly Yocum, Managing Director, conVurge.

"We’re honored to have our Omni³ platform recognized by government security professionals for its innovative technology of real-time, 100% visibility down to the packet level," said WildPackets President and CEO Mahboud Zabetian. "Our development plans include the addition of features that meet the information security requirements of all levels of government."
