eEye Digital Security's Technology Selected for DISA Task Order Valued
at Over $6 Million to Provide Information Assurance Vulnerability
Management 

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--June 23, 2004--(Secure Configuration Compliance
Validation Tool)    

eEye(R) Digital Security, a leading developer of vulnerability
management software for enterprise security, today announced that the
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has selected eEye's
vulnerability management software in conjunction with a Task Order under
the DISA I-ASSURE Contract to serve as the basis for an Information
Assurance Vulnerability Management (IAVM) solution worth up to $6
million if all options are exercised. The requirement was sponsored by
the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) on behalf of the
Department of Defense. 

Under the Task Order, eEye and its partner DigitalNet (Nasdaq:DNET), a
premier provider of network computing solutions, will develop and deploy
an automated IAVM tool that will provide network administrators and
security personnel a mechanism for verifying application or
non-application of Department of Defense (DoD) Computer Emergency
Response Team (CERT) Information Assurance Vulnerability Management
Notices. The IAVM tool will scan networks in order to mitigate security
vulnerabilities found in software and those related to incorrect system
configurations, as well as security issues related to policy and
compliance. This proactive approach to security -- eliminating
vulnerabilities rather than thwarting attacks -- allows the DoD to
better secure the vital digital assets under its purview. 

The eEye/DigitalNet IAVM solution offered to DISA includes an integrated
family of vulnerability management solutions to help DoD safeguard their
digital assets. This solution will dramatically mitigate the DoD's risk
from attack and significantly reduce the likelihood that potential
attacks can penetrate its networks and cause security breaches and
financial loss. This solution includes Retina(R) Network Security
Scanner and REM(TM) Security Management Console. eEye's flagship
product, the Retina Network Security Scanner, leads the industry in
accuracy, its ability to scan enterprise networks without crashing
systems and its open, modular architecture, making it the easiest
product on the market to deploy, use and integrate with existing
enterprise applications. 

"The DoD will represent one of the largest deployments of vulnerability
management software anywhere in the world," stated Firas Raouf, eEye's
COO. "eEye's industry-leading accuracy, scale and ease of integration
with large networks make us ideally suited for this type of
implementation. Already, our unique approach to network security has
resulted in over 7,500 customer deployments worldwide."
