Network Associates Awarded Frost & Sullivan Market Engineering Leadership Award for Second Consecutive Year

"Network Associates is well recognized in the market for being quick to
address customer needs by being the first to move beyond pure network
instrumentation with the introduction of the Sniffer(R) Enterprise
Management Architecture," says Sailaja Vepa, Frost & Sullivan industry
research analyst. "Sniffer Technologies has successfully combated
competition from companies, such as Finisar Systems and Acterna, by
actively upgrading its offering to support voice and wireless traffic
analysis.  These efforts will enable the company to retain its leadership
position."

Frost and Sullivan's latest market analysis recognizes that Sniffer
Technologies, with 26.7% ownership of the LAN and WAN management market,
has excelled in all stages of the technology life cycle such as,
incubation, adaptation, take-up and maturity, to ensure a continuous flow
of improvements. Furthermore, Sniffer Portable is highlighted as the
primary solution for IT professionals for the immediate identification and
resolution of network performance issues.

The Frost & Sullivan Market Engineering Leadership Award is given to
companies that have displayed leadership and excellence in all areas of
the market engineering process, including the identification of market
challenges, drivers and restraints, as well as strategy development and
methods of addressing these market dynamics.
