Thruport Hosting Expands, Upgrades Security Products:
New Realities of Environment Dictate Reinforced Data Protection System

Alexandria, VA, April 14, 2002 -- Thruport Technologies' Managed Hosting division has upgraded its fully-managed 24/7 network to offer clients a tiered platform of data protection services. Thruport's enhanced security services include full firewall protection, intrusion detection, enhanced monitoring and alerts, and comprehensive reporting, and are delivered in partnership with Activis, a team of highly trained security experts.

Thruport founder and CEO Bruce Waldack notes that the decision to overhaul and upgrade organization security is a sign of the times. "It makes sense for us to partner with a firm specializing in security and data protection. We have the benefit of learning from competitors' mistakes and don't intend for our customers to take a hit. We've reviewed a number of security technology providers and are very confident in the capabilities offered by Activis and the joint solution we've put in place."

Enterprises can implement enhanced security service packages beginning at just $799 per month, in conjunction with Thruport's dedicated hosting and clustered managed services.
