GRESHAM, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2000--New Technologies, Inc.
(NTI), a subsidiary of the multinational Armor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AH
- news), today announced that the U.S. State Department has purchased
a worldwide site license for NTI's computer security software suite.

The software will be installed in the more than 250 U.S. embassies
worldwide.

The specific terms of the contract with the U.S. State Department were
not disclosed by NTI or the U.S. State Department. However, Michael R.
Anderson, president of NTI, said that NTI's market-leading products
DiskSearch Pro, DiskScrub and PTABLE software were purchased under the
terms of the contract. NTI will also help the U.S. State Department
train its employees in the use of the software and in how to handle
other computer security risks that may pose a threat to U.S.
interests.

``NTI has supported U.S. government military agencies and intelligence
agencies for years,'' said Anderson, a former U.S. Treasury agent.
``We are strong supporters of computer security in U.S. government
agencies, and we so are delighted to see that our hard work and
technology will help the State Department in U.S. embassies around the
world.''

Anderson added that the purchase likely resulted from NTI's latest
release of a computer forensics scanning tool named DiskSearch Pro,
which is run from DOS and quickly finds and documents targeted strings
of text on computer storage media, such as hard drives and floppy
diskettes.`` The software can search all areas of a four-gigabyte hard
drive in less than 40 minutes, he pointed out.

``When classified information leaks into places it shouldn't, time is
of the essence,'' Anderson explained. ``This software pinpoints
security leaks in minutes using key word searches.'' By comparison, to
search such data files in DOS, sector by sector, would take months,
Anderson said.

Since 1996, NTI has provided computer forensics tools and training to
Fortune 500 corporations and non-law enforcement government agencies,
in addition to over 2,600 law enforcement computer crime specialists.
Today NTI's tools are used by all of the Big 5 accounting firms,
numerous Fortune 500 corporations, dozens of government agencies and
all branches of the U.S. military for use in security risk assessment
reviews.

NTI's founders developed the first computer evidence processing
training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco,
Georgia. Other NTI founders have developed and supported law
enforcement agencies around the world through their development of
state-of-the-art computer forensics software tools since 1989.
