New Global Command Center Enhances Administration over Worldwide

Networks, Serves as Gateway to Total Stream Protection(TM).

CyberGuard Corporation (Nasdaq:CGFW), the technology leader in network security, today announced a new version of Global Command Center, the company's next generation central management solution. The latest release expands on the powerful network management program that began shipping in December 2003 and serves as the gateway for the Total Stream Protection (TSP) functionality announced in March.

"From a business perspective, Global Command Center offers maximum efficiency with minimum overhead," said Mike Wittig, president and chief technology officer for CyberGuard. "This version was designed specifically to help enterprises and other global organizations manage far-flung, global networks with the quickest, easiest and most effective tool created by CyberGuard to date. We've added features that allow administrators to work faster and more efficiently, controlling everything - including TSP functions - through Global Command Center's user-friendly drag-and-drop interface."

The new version of Global Command Center enables businesses to:

-- Deploy and manage complex security policies across large

distributed enterprise networks;

-- Implement CyberGuard's sophisticated application layer

inspection capabilities to prevent intrusions and the

unauthorized use of network resources;

-- Respond rapidly to new threat conditions by modifying the

Global Command Center objects used to build the rules that

define network access;

-- Reduce management costs and increase efficiency by allowing

centralized management from any network location;

-- More easily demonstrate compliance with legal requirements by

"pulling" firewall configurations from one or more firewalls

and generating device-specific auditing reports.

"If a firewall in Africa doesn't have certain policies configured similarly to the policies of its counterpart in the U.S., the administrator can drag and drop the configurations from the U.S. firewall to the firewall in Africa," Wittig explained. "This saves administrators time and aggravation."

Other new features include:

-- Backup management - offers primary and backup management

capabilities

-- Security policy auditing and validation - compares and reviews

security policies per security device

-- Administrative roles - allows selective access to

administrative functions

-- Simultaneous administrative support - offers support for

security teams to manage policies across network

-- NAT support - allows configuration of NAT (network address

translation) devices

-- Management auditing and archiving - provides ability to audit

all policy changes

The newest version of Global Command Center, is designed to serve as a control panel for Total Stream Protection functions, including TSP Defender(TM), TSP Protector(TM), TSP Dispatcher(TM), TSP Inspector(TM) and TSP Enforcer(TM). The next release will include support for the series of edge security devices CyberGuard introduced with its recent acquisition of SnapGear. As the company adds new technologies to its portfolio, Global Command Center will be used to manage these products as well, including the Content Security Management Suite offered by CyberGuard's just-acquired Webwasher subsidiary.
