FRAMINGHAM, Mass.– February 1, 2005 –
Courion® Corporation, a leading provider of extensible identity
management solutions, today announced it is sponsoring “Bringing
Security Into the Boardroom,” a roundtable of information security
executives to discuss the leadership aspects of positioning security

environment.
“Security is clearly a top concern in the board rooms of today,”

security issues and that also brings together executives with the objective
of developing a greater understanding of today’s security challenges
and how to resolve them.”

security executives to exchange ideas on how best to preserve operations
and protect assets, we help the industry take a step in the right direction,”
said Chris Zannetos, president and CEO, Courion Corporation. “Executives,
especially those charged with managing operations and assets in today’s
