CyberGuard Expands Digital Certificate Markets With eSP From TradeWave.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1997--

Faster Time-To-Market & Lower Cost-Of-Entry

Driving Force for Business Use of Digital Certificates

CyberGuard Corporation, (NASDAQ:CYBG), a leading provider of network security and electronic commerce solutions, today introduced a new eCommerce Service Provider (eSP) Program for its TradeWave business unit. A component of CyberGuard's recently announced Business Partner program, the eSP Program capitalizes on new market forces within the Internet and extranet communities, known as eCommerce Service Providers (eSP's), who are finally changing the way the world does business on the Internet.

More information on TradeWave's eSP Program can be found at: http://esp.tradewave.com .

The newly launched eSP Program provides qualified system integrators with fully functional digital certificates that they can use to create solutions to help their customers conduct eCommerce. eSP members enjoy benefits including personalized certificates, personalized 'certified web' space, and access to sales and technical support so they may quickly create low cost, manageable, secure web versions of customer business processes. End users get immediate access to cost saving tools and technologies, and TradeWave is able to spread the cost of operating a highly secure CA across a broader base of users.

"Security is a big issue to corporate customers and is often perceived as complex," said Tom Patterson, vice president of electronic commerce for TradeWave's parent company, CyberGuard Corporation. "Companies want their eSPs to come in with a completely cost-justified plan to securely link their legacy systems to Web sites and extranets. Our new eSP Program combines the eSP's integration skills and experience with TradeWave's products and services to allow companies to quickly issue their own certificates."

Since 1993 TradeWave has been operating its commercial certificate authority (CA), making digital certificate software and services specifically for companies looking to reduce costs and empower their employees to do business over the Internet. Rather than requiring a third party to 'validate' employees, the TradeWave solution allows companies to become their own CA in less than 48 hours.

"So many consultants are talking about the benefits of digital certificates, but the eSP Program allows KPMG to put certificates to work for our customers," said Douglas Graham, Director of eCommerce for KPMG Peat Marwick in New York. "The first step to a web-based value proposition is for us to show the customer how it can save them money. Having real certificates that work with all of our customers' web servers and browsers is key to our success in this area."

"Prior to the eSP Program, integrating real digital certificates into customers' business web sites was a major challenge," said eSP partner Thomas Van Hare, president of Capstone Studio, rated one of the top twenty business web firms in the world by Web Week Magazine. "Companies need to control their own destiny on the Internet and the TradeWave solution, via eSPs, allows them to do just that, simplifying the process and saving both time and money."

The eSP Program is comprised of three categories - large consulting firms, systems integrators with emerging eCommerce groups, and small companies focusing on the electronic commerce market. eSP is designed to support them all equally, by use of it's interactive 'certified web' server. esp.tradewave.com is a complete sales, marketing and technical resource for the companies active within the eSP program.

The site features a proposal response generator, technical documentation and information, and a pricing configurator.

"Digital Certificate technology is clearly a key enabler for secure electronic commerce over the Internet. With their eSP program, Tradewave leverages their real world experience with a fully operational digital certificate authority to provide businesses with a digital certificate solution today, rather than several months from now," noted Paul Saunders, an industry analyst with SoundView Financial Group, Inc.
