SOMERSET, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2004

Lumeta, the leading provider of network intelligence solutions, today announced that Chief Scientist, William "Ches" Cheswick, has been named a recipient of the InfoWorld 2004 Innovators Awards for his work on Lumeta IPsonar. The Innovators Awards honor top technology innovators whose work, creations, and ideas have changed the way the industry looks at technology and have had a significant impact on the evolution of the tech world. Results appeared in the May 24 edition of InfoWorld and are also available online at: www.infoworld.com/1416.> "As Charles Darwin said, 'it is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change,'" said Eric Knorr, InfoWorld Executive Editor at Large. "Together, win or lose, these innovators are accelerating the evolution of IT."

With 13 years of service at Lucent/Bell Labs, Cheswick has worked for nearly 30 years on operating-system security. At Lumeta, Cheswick utilized his research, technical expertise and vision to understand and map the network perimeter resulting in what is today IPsonar.

Effective network security and management includes Perimeter Mapping as a key to understanding how a network connects to other networks. IPsonar 3.0 is the industry's first solution that provides network visualization and reporting capabilities that identify how network traffic flows into and out of secure areas of the enterprise network, also known as secure zones. IPsonar's sophisticated perimeter mapping and reporting capabilities allow security/network professionals to visualize the perimeters of secure zones based on the actual paths taken by IP traffic, giving them the capabilities to effectively manage the network and secure against potential threats.

"I am pleased to be recognized by InfoWorld as a leading innovator for the research and work I have done on the Internet and subsequently utilized for enterprise and government networks," said William "Ches" Cheswick, "There is only more to learn, research and create as technology advances and systems become more complex, and I am looking forward to it."
