BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 2001

Baltimore Technologies (NASDAQ:BALT)(London:BLM), a global leader in e-security, today announced that SelectAccess, its access and authorization management solution, now provides seamless integration with IBM WebSphere(1) Application Server.

IBM WebSphere e-infrastructure software enables organizations to more easily deploy, integrate and manage their e-business applications, resulting in improved time and cost efficiency. This allows organizations to bring new online applications, such as government procurement, insurance claim processing and electronic patient records, to market more quickly. By using Baltimore SelectAccess with IBM's WebSphere, businesses can easily manage the rights and responsibilities for all the users accessing e-business resources, creating a highly secure operating environment for these key applications.

"In addition to providing better collaboration and workflow, moving business-critical applications to the Web enables organizations to achieve greater cost and time efficiencies. However as Web-based applications become more complex, effectively securing them becomes a major challenge," said Joyce Fai, vice president, Authorization Solutions Group, Baltimore Technologies. "Organizations using IBM WebSphere as their e-business platform can quickly and easily implement SelectAccess to secure access and assign user privileges for their critical applications."

SelectAccess provides the ease-of-use, speedy deployment, performance and scalability companies need to capitalize on the full potential of extranets, intranets and enterprise portals. In addition, SelectAccess provides the most intuitive and easy-to-manage interface, allowing organizations to easily delegate authority and provide fine-grained access control. This combination of features empowers an organization's customers, employees and partners to conduct business online, saving time and money.

Recent third-party evaluations also confirm that SelectAccess delivers exceptional scalability and performance when compared to similar products. In January 2001, eWEEK awarded SelectAccess the winning score in an in-depth competitive evaluation. In addition, Mindcraft(R), an independent testing lab, recently gave SelectAccess the highest results for speed and scalability in tests designed to mirror real-world corporate environments, surpassing the performance results of all other products that have undergone comparable evaluations on equivalent platforms.
