Mr. Clarke is Chairman of the cyber and network security firm Good
Harbor Security Risk Management, LLC. As previously announced, Good
Harbor is advising the Company, including a thorough assessment of
security risks GigNet and its customers face in the Mexican
Caribbean market. Good Harbor is partnering with GigNet to help
launch the Company’s new managed services cyber security portfolio – the
first of its kind in the region.

Mr. Clarke is one of the leading global experts on national and cyber
security, having served three consecutive US Presidents through ten
continuous years as a senior White House official, including as Special
Advisor to the President for Cyberspace, Special Assistant to the
President for Global Affairs, and National Coordinator for Security and
Counter-Terrorism.

Mr. Clarke is the best-selling author of nine books, including The
Fifth Domain, Defending Our Country, Our Companies, and Ourselves in the
Age of Cyber Threats (with Robert K. Knake), scheduled for release
this summer. He also taught at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of
Government on national security, counter-terrorism, and cyber security.

“GigNet has a significant opportunity to differentiate itself in
the Mexican Caribbean to deliver additional value to its customers by
incorporating increased security and new security services into its
portfolio of managed services,” said Clarke. “I look forward to serving
on its Senior Advisory Board.”

Specifically, Good Harbor is assessing cyber and physical security
threats to GigNet’s network, for which security has already been
a priority, and develop decision-making and pre-emptive processes to
mitigate risks. It will then help GigNet align resources to risk,
establish a focused security program, and prepare for potential security
incidents.

“We are increasingly seeing hacks and security breaches into networks
around the world, including Mexico,” said GigNet Chairman & CEO
Paul A. Moore. “We are very pleased to have such a renowned and
respected group as Good Harbor help us mitigate risks to our GigNet
network. We believe our customers will appreciate this effort, as well
as new advanced security services we will introduce. In particular, we
welcome the advice and counsel of Richard to our Senior Advisory Board.”
