ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 21, 2000

Cyveillance(R), the "Extra-Site" e-Business Intelligence pioneer, announces today its sponsorship of the Cybercitizen Partnership, a joint undertaking by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) and the Department of Justice.

The partnership was formed last year as an umbrella organization to provide the next generation of Internet users with good cyber ethics. The campaign aims to create good "cybercitizens" by educating children, young adults and the wider Internet user community on the basics of information protection and security and the limits of acceptable online behavior.

"Cyveillance recognizes that the Internet provides tremendous opportunities and risks for both businesses and individuals," said Rich Moore, vice president of marketing and sales, Cyveillance. "We are proud to support programs like the Cybercitizen Partnership that help Internet users extend the standards expected in the offline world to the online world."

"As the Internet becomes more important to our daily lives, this initiative will help Internet users make informed decisions about online behavior," said Harris Miller, president, ITAA. "Cyveillance was one of the early sponsors of this program. It is through the support of companies like Cyveillance that the Cybercitizen Partnership is able to continue its important work."

Cyveillance joins Cybercitizen Partnership sponsors Computer Sciences Corporation, iDefense, Merant, Mirus Information Systems, onehealthbank.com, Oracle, the Recording Industry Association of America and the Stanford Consulting Group.

Cyveillance helps clients drive revenue, increase market share and improve brand and consumer loyalty by identifying and analyzing key Internet opportunities and risks.

Cyveillance calls this "Extra-Site" e-Business Intelligence, which describes the company's ability to mine and analyze the Internet's billions of pages to determine the impact on businesses, versus other companies that simply track Web traffic and user data from within a specific corporate Web site.
