CBR 10^th Anniversary Issue Attributes Business Layers with Pioneering Directory-based Provisioning, and Building Application 'From Ground Up' to Provide Business Value to Organizations

ROCHELLE PARK, N.J. - August 6, 2003 - Business Layers, the eProvisioning Company^(tm), today announced that it was selected as one of the 10 Most Influential Security Companies by Computer Business Review, the IT industry magazine and online service for the business.  Business Layers was one of the only private companies chosen for this category, which included industry leaders Symantec, Microsoft, Computer Associates, RSA Security, Checkpoint, Nokia and others.

According to Computer Business Review, "Business Layers kicked the identity provisioning sector into life when it opened its doors in 1999, pioneering the use of directory-based provisioning to manage access rights to enterprise resources such as email, groupware or the sales accounts system.  The company wins a mention also because its product was designed from the ground up to appeal to business stakeholders, not just to the IT administration department."

 "To be named as one of Computer Business Review's Most Influential Security Companies along with industry leaders Symantec, Microsoft, Checkpoint, Computer Associates and others is a great accomplishment for Business Layers," said Izhar Shay, president and CEO of Business Layers. "This recognition reinforces our vision and market leadership, which emphasizes innovative technologies that provide customers with the industry's best identity management and security solutions possible."
