The application was selected for the successful deployment of a new public network service and best network security. Judges for the award included key executives from Bell Atlantic, US Telecom, Deloitte and Touche, CMP and Bellcore. The Bastille service by GTE (www.bastilleinfo.com) is a highly secured Internet application permitting real-time sharing of information among law enforcement agencies on a local, regional, national and international basis. This Web-based crime-fighting service is currently available to a targeted 25,000 law enforcement agencies around the country. ''We are excited that the SUPERQuest judges recognized The Bastille service, our secure cyberspace crime-fighting tool, and how it will contribute to law enforcement agencies' efforts nationwide,'' said David Watkins, general manager-- law enforcement services for GTE Enterprise Solutions, a division of GTE Corp [NYSE:GTE - news]. ''We selected CyberGuard's firewall and VPN solutions to protect this strategic initiative since CyberGuard was the only one that met our stringent security requirements.'' The Bastille service provides officers of the law with web-based access tools that allow them to search or post information in the databases about criminal activities including ''gang and drug watch,'' missing or abducted children alerts, and criminal or missing persons information. The Bastille service combines the speed of modern telecommunications technology, advanced, encrypted data transmission service, firewall technology and smart card reader hardware, plus easy-to-use browser software to navigate through the database. ''We look forward to working with GTE as they continue to roll out The Bastille service,'' stated Robert L. Carberry, chairman and CEO of CyberGuard Corporation. ''The Bastille provides a unique solution for law enforcement agencies to fight crime without geographical boundaries. Agencies can participate in the service for less than $200 a month, and help keep criminals off the street and behind bars.'' During a six-month pilot in Texas that ended in April, officers from seven police departments provided direct input into the system's design and features. These officers recommended that many safeguards be included to keep hackers out. ''You pass through multiple layers of security to get to The Bastille, and it has highly secured encrypted databases to protect the information,'' noted Captain Wade Goolsby of the Coppell Police Department in Texas. ''We'll see more clearance rates, property recoveries, arrests and convictions as each agency adds information about their investigations,'' he added.
