New England Information Security Group Selects InterMute to Speak at Spyware Forum

Presentation Focuses on “10 Ways to Combat Spyware in Your Organization”

BRAINTREE, MA — January 12, 2005 — InterMute, Inc., a leading provider of best-of-breed Internet security and content filtering solutions, today announced it will present at the New England Information Security Group’s (www.neisg.org) local spyware forum on Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005.

NEISG is a nonprofit organization that includes 650 members, who range from IT administrators and managers, law enforcement personnel, students, educators or anyone interested in learning how to protect their systems.

InterMute’s Director of Marketing, Andy Ostrom, will present “10 Ways to Combat Spyware In Your Organization.” Mr. Ostrom will cover the gamut—from deploying a comprehensive solution that protects employees behind and beyond the corporate firewall and preventing the download of skeptical ActiveX and P2P file-sharing applications, to creating enforceable employee anti-spyware policies.

This session will target corporate, government and academic IT departments—help desk, operations, security, system management and desktop management—that are being flooded with calls for assistance on PCs that “don’t work,” are painfully slow or have Web browsers behaving strangely─all because of spyware.

Who: Andy Ostrom, Director of Marketing, InterMute, Inc.

What: “10 Ways to Combat Spyware In Your Organization”

When: Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005 at 7 p.m.

Where: Microsoft Corp., 6th floor, 201 Jones Road, Waltham, MA
