SOMERSET, N.J., May 1, 2002

Netilla Networks, Inc. (www.netilla.com), the networking services company that supplies secure remote access to applications, files and data over the Internet, today announced the appointment of a major industry figure to the company's Board of Advisors. Ralph Godfrey, former vice president of global channel sales and senior vice president of sales for 3Com Americas, will help shape future strategies for Netilla as a member of its advisory board.

"Ralph brings a wealth of knowledge from his service in the technology sales arena and will help bolster our leadership position in the Web-based secure remote access marketplace," said Reggie Best, CEO and President of Netilla. "We are eager to draw on the expertise he brings to our firm, particularly to our channel sales organization."

Netilla Security Platforms are secure remote networking appliances based on Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and other Web technologies, that enable browser-based access to legacy Windows, Unix/Linux, mainframe as well as native Web applications in the data center. Unlike software or middleware-based networking approaches that require extensive integration and significant ongoing maintenance, the Netilla Security Platform is a practical, quick-to-deploy and simple to manage solution that lowers the total cost of ownership of secure remote access deployments.

"I'm impressed by Netilla's strategy of selling exclusively through the channel, which has led to the firm's rapid development of strong channel partners," Godfrey said. "They are targeting a great market space with a clear strategy and excellent vision. I see enormous potential for the company's products and services, both nationally and overseas."

Godfrey has more than 30 years' experience in high-technology sales and marketing. He recently retired from 3Com Corp., where he held various positions including senior vice president of Americas sales and most recently served as 3Com's senior vice president of E-Business. Godfrey holds bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from Auburn University, where he currently serves on the university's Alumni Engineering Council.
