NEW ANTI-CYBER CRIME TOOL PROTECTS CORPORATE AMERICA
Raytheon Selects OnlineSecurity as West Coast Integrator for "Silent Runner" Product

LOS ANGELES, CA., October 28 - OnlineSecurity® a leading computer forensics and corporate information technology security firm, has signed a strategic agreement with Raytheon Corporation to represent the stealth network infrastructure monitoring system known as "Silent Runner". OnlineSecurity will sell, integrate and manage "Silent Runner" for West Coast corporations and law firms in an effort to enforce each company's privacy and security policies pertaining to illegal usage of their computer networks, such as sexual harassment, child pornography, cyber-terrorism and intellectual property theft.

Similar to the FBI's watchdog program "Carnivore", the NSA/Raytheon authored "Silent Runner" has been designed to protect the interests of commercial industries and investigate information technology fraud both in real time and retroactively. "Never before has the private sector had this type of raw information gathering power. We now have the ability to literally 'fly' through the time continuum of a computer network," comments Erik Laykin, President of OnlineSecurity® and West Coast Delegate of the FBI's Infragard Program. "With this software, our experts can instantly map out the communication structure of any local or wide area network. The system will record and playback every electronic transmission including emails, browser activity, instant messages and analyze the data in real time to locate the perpetrators of fraud in the virtual space."

OnlineSecurity Technician, Mark Liphardt compares the experience of working with the Silent Runner system to that of the film "The Matrix" in which users are transported through a virtual network and can now 'see' a new dimension. "In our investigations of online fraud, we can now track and watch the bad guys making their moves, play by play, in the 'ether'. It makes real what was once science fiction."
