NetVersant To Market Fortress Technologies' He@tSeeker Pro ™,
Breakthrough Intranet Firewall

Clearwater, Florida, February 17, 2026 -- Leading network security solutions developer Fortress Technologies, Inc., and NetVersant Technologies, an emerging software marketing firm, announced today that they have teamed up to distribute Fortress’ breakthrough Intranet firewall, NetFortress He@tSeeker Pro. The innovative software will be distributed through a unique Internet-based, "try before you buy" program.

NetFortress He@tSeeker Pro represents a newly-emerging trend toward Intranet firewalls in the information security market. Unlike traditional firewalls that sit at an organization’s front door to protect against external attacks, He@tSeeker Pro is designed to install on both servers and workstations to protect against electronic intrusions from internal sources. A series of recent security studies showed that almost 50 percent of all network intrusions result from a variety of sources inside the network, including viruses, remote dial-up access, and disgruntled employees.

"Customers are becoming increasingly aware of the limitations of traditional gateway firewalls," said Gary E. Brooks, Fortress’ Vice President of Marketing. "This awareness is fueling the demand for He@tSeeker Pro, which picks up where traditional firewalls leave off."

According to Mike Siewruk, President of NetVersant Technologies, "Traditional firewall products offer defense against external attacks, but with industry data showing that nearly half of all network attacks are internal, we think the He@tSeeker Pro is the right approach to secure against internal intrusions."

Under the agreement, NetVersant Technologies will market and distribute Fortress' He@tSeeker Pro to end-user customers in the U.S, Europe, Africa, and the Mid-East. NetVersant offers immediate corporate trial of He@tSeeker Pro, enabling information technology (IT) managers to fully evaluate software products before purchasing. He@tSeeker Pro, for Windows 95, Windows NT and Novell systems, is available at the NetVersant web site, www.netversant.com, or by calling 1-800-274-6065.

"A product like He@tSeeker Pro requires a distribution model that allows customers to try the product and experience its many benefits prior to making the purchase," Brooks said. "NetVersant provides that expertise through their inventive ShareQuest program. We’re confident that this dynamic approach will substantially increase our sales of He@tSeeker Pro."

NetVersant’s ShareQuest program is designed to aggressively promote new software products directly to corporate, government and academic customers. Through the program, NetVersant serves as the link between the IS market and emerging technology vendors with cutting-edge networking solutions. NetVersant manages all aspects of marketing, sales, and fulfillment for its ShareQuest partners.

In addition to its He@tSeeker firewall products, Fortress Technologies also develops fast, simple and secure products for creating virtual private networks (VPNs) over the Internet. With the enormous popularity of the Internet, especially for business use, studies show that companies that switch their computer networks from leased lines to VPNs can save 50 percent or more on their telecommunications costs.

Fortress’ full suite of NetFortress VPN products utilize patented Secure Packet Shield™ technology that incorporates fully automated encryption, authentication, key exchange and data compression at the network layer to provide the fastest, simplest and most secure VPNs available. The NetFortress VPN portfolio includes NetFortress VPN-1; NetFortress VPN-3, the fastest VPN solution for T3 networks; NetFortress Remote, for secure remote access; NetFortress Manager, for centralized VPN administration; and QuickStart VPN, a five-day VPN starter kit.
