Business Wire, Jan 7, 1998

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 1998--STRATFOR Systems, Inc. today announced it has entered into a reseller agreement with Fairfax, Virginia-based BTG, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTGI).

Effective immediately, BTG will offer STRATFOR's Shredder for Windows 95 software to its U.S. military and intelligence clients on the Integration for C4 Intelligence (IC4I) contract. The IC4I contract is an Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract, open to the entire Department of Defense and all federal agencies and organizations that have intelligence and C2 functions.

STRATFOR's Shredder software solves two extremely important problems: how to make encrypted files truly secure; and how to ensure that information deleted on your PC cannot be recovered.

While the final version of a file may be protected by encrypting it, the information contained in that file is not secure unless all copies have been systematically eliminated during the creation and deletion process. Shredder erases all files created and deleted by the application and the operating system--backup, temp, swap, print etc. A truly secure system for guaranteeing privacy of data requires an encryption program to lock up the final copy of the document and STRATFOR's Shredder software to make certain all unprotected data is gone.

Shredder provides more security for sensitive and confidential electronic information by turning deletes into multiple overwrites, making files totally unrecoverable. Shredder's file monitoring program tracks copies of all files created and deleted by the application and operating system, then shreds them. Shredder runs in the background overwriting files as they are deleted from within other applications or Windows Explorer.
