NORTH CHELMSFORD, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/30/05 -- PredatorWatch, a leading provider of
vulnerability and intrusion management appliances, today announced a new
name and a new CEO. Now known as NetClarity to invoke a stronger, more
positive corporate message, the company will be led by Gil Roeder, a
technology industry veteran.
Mr. Roeder, who has over 25 years of sales and marketing experience, is
succeeding Gary Miliefsky, who will continue with NetClarity as Chief
Technology Officer. Mr. Roeder will spearhead NetClarity's efforts to
enhance its innovative product line, develop new and existing partnerships,
build out a direct sales force, develop domestic and international reseller

basement start-up to a highly recognized brand name in the security
industry," said Gil Roeder. "The company's products are used to secure
networks across the U.S. and are garnering interest from customers,
partners, resellers and distributors worldwide. In the past year, the
company has signed partnerships with IBM, Juniper and others while
continually growing sales. I joined NetClarity because I saw an
opportunity to make a great company even better."

companies, including HandsOn Learning, a technology education company;
