Internet Security Systems today announced that the company's board of directors has elected Steven J. Heyer to the position of director.

Heyer, president and chief operating officer of The Coca-Cola Company, recently announced that he will be leaving to pursue opportunities outside of the company. His election to the board of Internet Security Systems allows him to pursue personal aspirations while continuing his commitment to Atlanta-based businesses.

"Steve Heyer brings over 25 years of corporate leadership and marketing experience to the ISS board," said Tom Noonan, chairman and chief executive officer of Internet Security Systems. "This expertise will prove invaluable as our company meets the challenge of leadership in the growing intrusion prevention and vulnerability management markets."

"Over the last ten years, Internet Security Systems has expanded from its Atlanta headquarters to open more than 35 offices in 20 countries," said Heyer. "Throughout this expansion, the company has remained committed to technological excellence and the delivery of leading Internet security products and services. I am proud to be a part of ISS as they strive towards even greater operational efficiencies and embrace the next ten years of innovation."

Heyer joined The Coca-Cola Company in 2001 from AOL Time Warner, where he served as both president and chief operating officer of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. and a member of the AOL Time Warner operating committee. Prior to joining Turner Broadcasting System, Heyer was president and chief operating officer of Young & Rubicam Advertising Worldwide. Earlier in his career, Heyer was with Booz Allen & Hamilton, a management consulting firm, where he became a senior vice president and managing partner.
