HERNDON, Va., Oct. 12, 2004 — Trusted Computer Solutions, Inc. (TCS), a leading supplier of information sharing technologies to the Department of Defense, the intelligence community and commercial industry, has announced the members of an elite advisory board created to strengthen the company's strategic position in government and commercial markets. The newly expanded advisory board, which held its first planning summit in July at TCS headquarters, provides the company with strategic guidance in its mission of enabling customers to securely share information and providing cyber-security solutions for cross-domain interoperability.

Joining the board is former US Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, now senior vice president, homeland security solutions at Oracle Corp. Kellogg, the distinguished former director of Command, Control, Communications and Computers (J-6) for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now heads a virtual team throughout Oracle to address US homeland defense issues. Recently, from November 2003 to March 2004, Kellogg took an unpaid leave of absence from Oracle to serve in Iraq as chief operating officer of the Coalition Provisional Authority. Throughout his career, Kellogg has been a vocal advocate for using information technology as a weapons system in the military arsenal.

"We are honored to have a security leader of General Kellogg's stature join the distinguished members of the TCS advisory board," said Ed Hammersla, chief operating officer at TCS. "He and all the members of the board understand the key role that secure information sharing plays in the critical operations that occur among and between government and private entities.
