    FishNet Security provides assessment, consulting, integration, management, monitoring and education for enterprise network security needs. The company has built a strong customer base among mid-sized companies and federal, state and local governments and operates through seven offices with headquarters in Kansas City. FishNet has achieved deep penetration with multiple security services offerings and strong name recognition throughout its targeted Midwest market. The company announced plans to open additional offices in 2005. FishNet received a $12 million equity financing from Edgewater Growth Capital Partners to continue its history of organic growth and to provide substantial additional capacity for growth through acquisitions. Management said the growth capital infusion and operating expertise from Edgewater will help the company pursue its leadership vision in the rapidly growing security services market.
