CYBG NEWS - Regarding Firewall Product Line for Windows NT... [ Business \| US Market \| Industry \| IPO \| S&P \| International \| PRNews \| BizWire \| Finance Home ] Monday January 26, 1:50 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release CyberGuard Announces Worldwide Availability Of Industry's Most Secure Firewall Product Line For Microsoft Windows NT FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 26, 1998-- CyberGuard Corporation (NASDAQ: CYBG - news), a leading provider of network security and electronic commerce solutions, today announced world-wide availability of its Windows NT firewall product line designed to provide the most secure environment available for Microsoft(r) Windows NT(r) . While existing Windows NT firewalls are simply applications that reside on top of the Windows NT operating system, CyberGuard's Windows NT solution includes SecureGuard(tm) which functions as a shield around the Windows NT operating system - typically the most vulnerable point of attack. This focus on operating system security is based on CyberGuard's UNIX(r) firewall - the only commercially available firewall with a B level operating system and networking product evaluated by the National Security Agency. ''Today, about 60 percent of firewalls shipped are built on Windows NT, despite the 'bad press' that NT security has received in the last few months,'' noted a senior Gartner Group information security analyst in a July 1997 research note. Gartner also noted, ''We do not recommend NT - or any system that is less than B2-compliant - for use as the host operating system on the Internet for firewalls or electronic commerce in security-intense environments.'' ''The new CyberGuard(tm) Firewall for Windows NT and SecureGuard are the first products in our Windows NT product suite. These products are perfect for organizations that need to separate internal functions like accounting from human resources, and for securing corporate print servers and e-mail,'' noted Robert L. Carberry, chairman and chief executive officer of CyberGuard Corporation. ''Due to the overwhelming demand for a more secure Windows NT firewall, we expect these new product offerings to make revenue contributions to our business beginning this quarter.'' The CyberGuard Firewall for Windows NT delivers high-speed packet filtering to implement security policies, along with SecureGuard and SmartProxies(tm) that enhance security. Intranet SmartProxies - including Lotus Notes, SMB Shared-Resource(tm) and SQL*Net - also allow users to effectively tailor the firewall to their specific security needs for the intranet environment. This modularity saves the end users time and money as it allows them to purchase features as needed. ''Our firewall for Windows NT was designed to be the most secure, flexible and cost-effective Windows NT solution on the market,'' stated Rick Siebenaler, vice president of development at CyberGuard Corporation. ''SecureGuard is a must for securing the Windows NT environment.'' SecureGuard has been referenced as ''a good companion product to Windows NT,'' by Lloyd Spencer, a group product manager at Microsoft, in the October 13, 1997 issue of PCWeek Magazine. Pricing and Availability CyberGuard Firewall for Windows NT pricing ranges from $1,000 - 8,500 (US List), depending on the number of hosts. The Intranet SmartProxies are priced at $1,495 (US List). Pricing for SecureGuard for Windows NT ranges from $495 - $1,495 (US List), depending on the number of hosts.
