<p>Symbiot Announces OpenSIMS Support for Mac OS X "Tiger" and Tiger Server</p>
<p>New Tiger Dashboard Widgets to Provide Access to Real Time network<br />
visualization and Attacker Attribution</p>
<p>AUSTIN, TX, April 29, 2005=97Symbiot, a leading provider of intelligent<br />
security infrastructure management systems (iSIMS) and risk metrics<br />
technology, today announced the company's commitment to a significant<br />
technical contribution to OpenSIMS in support of Apple's upcoming release<br />
of Mac OS X "Tiger" and Tiger Server. The contribution includes two new<br />
innovative Tiger Dashboard widgets that allow administrators to view real<br />
time attacker attributions and network activity based on Symbiot's award<br />
winning Flash=99 user interface(1) that is running on the server.</p>
<p>"Symbiot has taken advantage of the incredible power and ease-of-use of Mac<br />
OS X Tiger and Tiger Server to deliver yet another innovative SIMS<br />
technology." said William W. Hurley II, CEO of Symbiot. "By utilizing<br />
Dashboard Widgets OpenSIMS users will have the ability to view vital<br />
security infrastructure management data, on-demand, without having to<br />
remain logged into a management console."</p>
<p>"The hundreds of breakthrough features in Mac OS X Tiger and Tiger Server<br />
will change the way people use their computers," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's<br />
vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Symbiot's OpenSIMS use of<br />
Dashboard widgets to access real time network activity is an excellent<br />
example of how developers can use Tiger to create innovative solutions for<br />
the enterprise. "</p>
<p>Launched in August of 2004, the primary goal of the OpenSIMS project is to<br />
create and maintain a common set of freely available solutions for<br />
improving information security management. OpenSIMS, which is based on Java<br />
and XML, allows networks to collaborate on attacker profiling and<br />
remediation through risk metrics technology, which communicates the<br />
significance and impact of specific security threats.</p>
<p>The new features and functionality of OpenSIMS being made to the Apple<br />
Developer community and Mac OS X Tiger Server users also represents<br />
Symbiot's commitment to its Forced Innovation Software Model (FISM), in<br />
which key features of the company's proprietary products are contributed to<br />
the open source community on a pre-determined schedule. FISM guarantees a<br />
rapid development cycle and stable technology roadmap for OpenSIMS, extends<br />
the useful life of Symbiot's products and accelerates innovation across<br />
Symbiot's suite of proprietary offerings.</p>
<p>OpenSIMS is currently available for download at <a href="http://www.opensims.org" title="www.opensims.org">www.opensims.org</a>. Symbiot<br />
expects the release of updates for Mac OS X Tiger Server to be available<br />
sometime in early May. OpenSIMS has been made available by Symbiot under<br />
the terms and conditions of the Apache Software Foundation's 2.0 license<br />
agreement with a planned proposal to migrate the project into the Apache<br />
Software Foundation's incubator.</p>
