TIZOR NAMES INDUSTRY VETERAN BILL BARTOW AS VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING

-Technology Leader to Define Market Strategy for Leading Data Auditing and Security Company-

Maynard, Mass. – November 1, 2006 – Tizor Systems, the leader in data auditing and protection, today announces that Bill Bartow has been appointed Vice President of Marketing. In this capacity, Bartow will be responsible for all aspects of marketing and will work closely with Tizor’s business development, sales and engineering teams to further expand Tizor’s market momentum and growth. Bartow brings over 20 years of experience to the software industry, managing and launching innovative products to enterprises.

Prior to joining Tizor, Bartow was Senior Vice President at Computer Associates (CA) and was responsible for managing the market-leading Identity and Access Management business. Prior to CA, Bartow was a member of the Netegrity executive management team, responsible for establishing the Company as the leader in the Identity and Access management market. Netegrity was acquired by CA in December 2004. During his time with Netegrity, Bartow was responsible for both the marketing and engineering teams that launched a number of new products into emerging markets. During Bartow’s time at the Company, Netegrity grew from $10 million to $90 million in revenue and jumped from 60 to 800 customers.

Bartow also held the position of Vice President of Marketing and Engineering for the Internet Division of Sybase. In this role, Bartow was responsible for managing the market leading Powersoft development and design tools. Bartow has also accrued industry marketing and product experience working for companies such as Lotus Development Corporation, Progress Software Corporation and Digital Equipment Corporation.

“My past roles have provided me with a unique view into a number of new and emerging markets,” said Bartow. “After taking a close look at the data auditing and protection market, it’s clear to me that this category is becoming a strategic priority for companies. Tizor really stood out to me as an innovative company with market leading technology and a proven team. I look forward to working with the Tizor team to help continue the Company’s growth in this exciting new market.”

Tizor is the technology leader in database auditing and protection, with a rapidly growing customer base. Its Mantra system enables companies to track and report in real time all user activity touching both their structured and unstructured data. Importantly, Mantra is delivered as a “plug and play” appliance, which starts producing results almost immediately, is not “in-line” and is non-intrusive. Unlike log file-based approaches, Mantra does not bring any extra overhead and hurt the computing performance of databases. In addition, Mantra’s built-in analytics and patent-pending Behavioral Fingerprinting® technology allows users to automate identifying anomalous behavior and send real-time alerts. Mantra is available with pre-configured solutions for meeting data-related reporting requirements for Sarbanes-Oxley and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, and is also used to meet a host of other regulations, including HIPAA and CA 1386. Additionally, it prevents information theft and unauthorized access to intellectual property.

“Bill has been intimately involved in building successful market category leaders before,” said Joel Rosen, Tizor’s President and CEO. “We are very excited to have him as part of the Tizor team as we continue to expand the Company’s leadership in this important new category.”
