C-COR.net and Fortress  Technologies Announce Agreement to Provide Data Security
Solution for Internet Over Cable

C-COR.net to Integrate Fortress Security Technology Into Its Suite of Broadband
Management Services

STATE COLLEGE,  Pa., Jan. 12  /PRNewswire/  -- C-COR.net  (Nasdaq:  CCBL - news)
today  announced it has invested  $3,500,000 in Fortress  Technologies,  Inc., a
leading   security   networking   company.   Fortress  has  developed   advanced
encryption-based  products  for secure  communications  over the  Internet.  The
equity investment in Fortress Technologies represents  approximately a 5 percent
ownership  interest.  In connection with the investment,  C-COR.net and Fortress
Technologies have agreed on key terms of a reseller  agreement,  under which the
companies would jointly offer a network-based data security solution,  utilizing
the Fortress-patented Secure Packet Shield(TM) (SPS) technology, for residential
and business cable modem customers. In addition, under the terms of the proposed
reseller  agreement,  C-COR.net  would  become the  exclusive  provider  of this
security  solution to the domestic  broadband cable operator  market.  C-COR.net
anticipates  offering this security solution in the second half of Calendar Year
2000.

The  Fortress  SPS  technology  is an advanced  system of  network-layer,  plug-
and-play encryption,  authentication,  data integrity and data compression.  The
technology has been validated by NSA's (National  Security  Agency's)  Security-
Proof-of-Concept-Consortium  (SPOCK), composed of 45 companies and 16 government
agencies.  It is a unique and  proprietary  method of compressing and encrypting
packets of digital  information and  transmitting the packets in such a way that
the integrity and security of the  information is maintained  without  degrading
network  performance.   By  operating  at  the  network  layer  of  the  digital
communication  stack,  little  meaningful  information  is  made  accessible  to
potential  eavesdroppers.  SPS is  applicable  to a broad  spectrum  of  digital
communications  and is  capable  of  securing  IP  (Internet  Protocol)  digital
transmissions,  whether  it is over a wire line or  wireless  communication.  As
such,  the technology  provides the  capability to secure digital  transmissions
from cellular telephones to digital fax machines,  digital video,  digital voice
and digital data communications.

Commenting on the arrangement with Fortress,  David A. Woodle, CEO and President
of C-COR.net,  stated,  ``With the  proliferation  of the Internet into business
applications,  both consumer and  commercial  users have  recognized the need to
protect  and  secure  information  as  it  is  transported  across  this  shared
communication  medium.  This concern has recently  been  reinforced by President
Clinton's proposed boosting of the government's FY 2000 $1.75 billion budget for
computer  security  by  $251  million  to  combat   increasingly   sophisticated
hackers(1).  Because cable is becoming a  significant  pipeline for the Internet
into homes here and abroad,  we believe it is important to make available to our
broadband   cable  operator   customers  the  technology   that  provides  cable
subscribers  easy-to-use security products and services.  Fortress  Technologies
offers a cost-efficient  and effective  solution for network  security.  We are,
therefore, looking forward to including this capability as a core feature of our
Broadband Management Services, including our Network Operations Center.''

Raymond L. Weadock,  President and CEO of Fortress Technologies,  concurred with
this assessment by stating, ``The original Internet was not designed for today's
business  or  consumer  use,  but for  scientific,  government  and  educational
purposes.  As a result, the original design of the Internet did not include high
security.  Our network  security  solution,  including our VPN (Virtual  Private
Network), has incorporated  encryption technology to minimize the security risks
created  by the  original  design of the  Internet.  Our  products  based on SPS
technology are designed to operate at speeds in excess of 80 megabits per second
line capacity,  are fully  automated,  can be integrated into any  heterogeneous
network and any SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)  application,  and are
scaleable. We believe that adding this Internet security solution to the network
life cycle services already provided by C-COR.net will be of significant benefit
to both the cable industry,  in terms of incremental revenue streams and network
access control, and the consumer, in terms of confidence in the integrity of the
network.''
