Raleigh, N.C. - April 30, 2003 - Webfargo Data Security, a premier provider of managed security services and information protection solutions, today announced that it has achieved partner status with SurfControl, the world's #1 web & email filtering company. Through this relationship, Webfargo will sell and deploy SurfControl solutions in the Research Triangle area for customers who desire granular control of network traffic.

"Our customers are asking for content-filtering solutions for a variety of reasons: security, network utilization, legal concerns, and employee productivity, to name a few," said Tyler Salisbury, Webfargo's President & Managing Partner. "Controlling network traffic goes hand-in-hand with security. SurfControl is the obvious choice given their product suite and demonstrated success in this market."

SurfControl offers customers the ability to selectively filter websites that their employees can access as well as eliminate spam. Companies that implement these solutions can reduce their network congestion, and more importantly, legal liability. "SurfControl continues to innovate in this market - developing consumer-driven products that our customers are asking for. We are very excited about their recently announced Instant Messaging/Peer-to-Peer module," said Salisbury.

This relationship will allow Webfargo to offer the best content and email filtering product on the market, as well as benefit from SurfControl's support program and cooperative marketing.
