Gilian Technologies and PlanetGov Partner to
Provide Web Content and Application Protection
Solutions to Government Customers

Redwood City, CA, and Washington, D.C. (FOSE conference), April 7, 2003 – Gilian Technologies and PlanetGov, Inc. today announced a partnership to offer, install, and support Gilian’s G-Server intrusion protection appliance to Federal, state and local Government customers. The new alliance will enable both companies to better address the growing demand for content and application protection for Government websites.

The G-Server protects customers from the crippling consequences of having misinformation appear on websites, and prevents distorted transactions, the wrong information, and other fraudulent data from reaching public view or damaging an organization via its website. The G-Server is currently protecting Government institutions as well as enterprises in the banking, finance, publishing, media, retailing and technology industries.

PlanetGov is a premier provider of information technology professional services to government customers, leveraging the power of the Internet and other advanced technologies to improve productivity. The company specializes in E-Government by supplying, designing, building, and managing information technology solutions that enhance government organizational performance and improve the delivery of services to citizens.

“ More and more Government departments are being proactive about not waiting for a hacking incident before protecting their applications and content,” said Brian Nightingale, Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at PlanetGov “For example, we have already teamed-up to sell, install and support the G-Server at government agencies, especially, those within the healthcare vertical such as HRSA and Veterans Affairs. To our knowledge, Gilian is the only information security company to provide a guarantee to customers which makes the G-Server a logical addition to our portfolio and the right solution for our customers.”

Gilian CEO Dr. Avi Margalith said, “PlanetGov has a proven track record in selling and supporting security-related products and services to Government agencies. Taxpayers need to rely on their Government to provide timely and accurate information, and a website is the most commonly-used mechanism to accomplish this important task. In order to serve the market with the best support available, we are relying on PlanetGov, and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship.”

PlanetGov is the latest member of Gilian’s G-Seller program, instituted in 2002 to leverage the skills, market experience, and specialized support capabilities of value-added resellers and systems integrators serving the information technology market.
