SOMERSET, N.J., June 19, 2002

Netilla Networks, Inc., (www.netilla.com), the networking services company that supplies secure remote access to applications, files and data over the Internet, announced today at the Ethic2002 conference in Washington, D.C. that Lamprey Health Care, New Hampshire's largest and oldest community Health Center, providing health services since 1971, has deployed the Netilla Security Platform to provide caregivers with HIPAA-compliant remote access to patient-critical information.

Netilla Security Platforms reduce IT maintenance and administration costs and deliver better patient care through fast, secure, browser-based access to medical applications and data. By empowering physicians, nurses, and medical staff with easy to use access from any location, patient information is immediately and securely accessible.

"The Netilla Security Platform provides us with a cost-effective, client-less solution that doesn't require touching the remote PC," said Debbie Bonnell, Lamprey's I.T. Research & Development Coordinator. "It offers us all the security features we need to meet HIPAA compliancy, including session encryption and authentication by digital certificate, in an exceptionally easy to manage security solution. Netilla's simple, user-driven solution was perfect for our needs."

The Netilla solution empowers the center's on-call medical providers with fast, secure access to Logician®, a GE Medical Systems Information Technologies product. Now, vital records are available from any location, allowing caregivers to meet emergency needs armed with the latest information, or to quickly accomplish administrative tasks at home.

Jason Wright, industry analyst and security technologies program leader for Frost and Sullivan, projects health care as the largest vertical segment for VPNs in the next two years. "Our research shows that secure, extranet solutions will grow from 5 percent of the market in 2001 to a projected 35 percent in 2008," he said. "We believe that health care will generate significant traction due to the security and privacy requirements under HIPAA," added Wright.

"Our remote access platform is an ideal tool for the healthcare industry, one that maximizes medical providers' use of time, helps to attract the best doctors and caregivers, and delivers better patient services, while ensuring privacy," said Reggie Best, President and CEO of Netilla Networks.
