    Kroll-O'Gara acquires Securify

    Security provider Kroll-O'Gara, in a move to enter the Internet and
    e-commerce security market, said today it has acquired privately held
    Securify in exchange for about 1.4 million K-O common shares. 
    
    Mountain View, California-based Securify provides security services in the
    areas of e-commerce and business and government computer networks. The
    acquisition follows K-O's late October statement that it planned to move
    into the computer and information markets. 
    
    Fairfield, Ohio-based K-O provides a broad range of specialized products
    and services designed to supply solutions to a variety of security needs,
    including training to deal with white-collar crimes and commercial and
    military armored vehicles. K-O now has roughly 18 million shares
    outstanding. 
    
    In a statement, K-O said 200,000 of its shares have been reserved for
    issuance upon exercise of vested Securify stock options. The merger is
    being accounted for as a pooling of interests, it said. 
    
    Securify's founding investors include James Barksdale, chief executive
    officer of Netscape Communications; Eric Benhamou, chief executive officer
    of 3Com; James Bidzos, chief executive officer of RSA Data Security, and
    Marc Benioff, senior vice president of Oracle. Venture capital funding was
    provided by Mohr Davidow Ventures and U.S. Venture Partners.
