Netegrity and Bowstreet team up to secure business webs

Partnership enables companies to securely extend business relationships on
the Internet 

LYNNFIELD, MA, and WALTHAM, MA, November 21, 2000 - Bowstreet
(www.bowstreet.com), a leading provider of business web automation solutions
for plug-and-play e-commerce, and Netegrity Inc. (Nasdaq: NETE), the leading
provider of e-commerce infrastructure solutions for secure portal
management, today joined forces to bring enhanced security to "business
webs." Business webs are emerging e-business networks that connect partner
companies to lower transaction costs, generate new revenue, enable
collaboration on new products and services, and deliver new value to
customers.

The Bowstreet Business Web Factory (TM) automates the creation of business
webs by allowing companies to find, acquire, combine, customize and
proliferate different companies' web-based services, simply by pointing and
clicking.  Netegrity's SiteMinder (TM) platform provides centralized policy
management for managing users and their access to e-business applications
and resources. The planned integration between the Bowstreet Business Web
Factory and Netegrity's SiteMinder platform will provide a solution with
robust capabilities to authenticate each business web user's identity,
determine which users should access which resources, and deliver content for
each depending on their access rights. 

As it controls and manages user access, Netegrity provides users with
"single sign-on" capability, ensuring a far better user experience than
requiring separate passwords for each web service. Netegrity also provides
centrally administered user authentication and access control to Bowstreet
applications, making life easier for information technology mangers
responsible for managing web content and security.

"Netegrity and Bowstreet share the common vision of enabling companies to
extend their businesses and forge relationships on the web," said Bill
Bartow, vice president of marketing at Netegrity.  "Together, we will create
highly secure, scalable and customized business webs that will help enable
companies to confidently engage in e-business relationships." 

Bowstreet's Business Web Factory helps customers avoid the time, pain and
expense of building monolithic web sites for each B2B relationship, enabling
companies to proliferate their services across the 'Net. This plug-and-play
e-commerce process also gives customers infinitely customized experiences. 

The SiteMinder platform provides customers with powerful e-commerce
management capabilities that interoperate with the Bowstreet platform,
including:

* Single sign-on across all Bowstreet applications as well as the other
applications within a company's enterprise.
* Authentication management, enabling Bowstreet customers to integrate
public key infrastructure (PKI) technology, password management, smart
cards, custom forms, and even biometric capabilities into their
applications.
* Centralized management, with policies that govern user access to all
Bowstreet applications.
* Delegated management, which lets companies transfer administration of user
profiles to remote administrators. 

"This partnership is a major step in Bowstreet's ongoing quest to make
business webs stronger, richer and more secure," said Bob Crowley,
Bowstreet's president and CEO. "The increased sharing of web services
creates new potential points of attack for hackers. Netegrity is securing
them so that business webs can better reach their full potential as a
significant new business model."
