NetBotz Signs Up Leading Middle Eastern IT Security Distributor ComGuard to Distribute NetBotz Physical Security Solution

AUSTIN, Texas - October 28, 2003 - NetBotz®, Inc.,the global leader in IP-based intelligent physical security solutions, and recent winner of the Deloitte & Touch Rising Star Award, today announced that ComGuard FZ LLC, the Middle East region's leading IT security solutions provider, has become a NetBotz distribution partner. Under terms of the agreement, ComGuard, headquartered in Dubai Internet City, the United Arab Emirates, will distribute the NetBotz solution throughout the Middle East.

This partnership extends NetBotz' reach into a region that AME Info, a leading Middle East business resource, reported could generate "as much as $500 million in IT security over the next three years, with the United Arab Emirates being the second largest source of demand after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."

"The increasing need for an affordable, easy to deploy IP-based physical security solution makes NetBotz an ideal solution for us to offer the market," said Herbert Kamensky, CEO of ComGuard. "This need has been driven by several trends, including the growth of distributed infrastructures that, because of their remote locations, are vulnerable to physical threats. We feel NetBotz is poised for rapid market penetration in the Middle East and we're glad to be part of that success."

"Teaming up with a high-caliber organization such as ComGuard greatly enhances our ability to reach both the reseller and the end-user," said Steven Brown, NetBotz Regional Manager for the Middle East and Africa. "We are excited about bringing this product into the region and look forward with great anticipation to rolling it out during the next coming months."

With more than 2,200 customers, NetBotz provides the leading solution for protection against physical threats-hostile human acts such as physical intrusion and sabotage to dangerous ambient and environmental factors, including noxious gases. Its industry leading physical threat protection platform, the NetBotz 500, ensures that as new threats emerge, customers can add on appropriate sensors and devices that will actively detect the threat and give early warning. For example, the company just announced a CCTV adapter that enables analog CCTV surveillance data to be brought into the NetBotz 500. This move enables CCTV customers to take full advantage of the NetBotz 500 features, including motion detection.
