CyberGuard Firewall for Windows NT Earns ``Best Buy'' Award and 5-Star Rating from SC Magazine; CyberGuard Earns Highest Possible Overall Rating -- Tops in Features and Ease of Use.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 1999--CyberGuard Corporation, a leading provider of network security and electronic commerce solutions, today announced that the CyberGuard Firewall for Windows NT(R) earned a "Best Buy" designation and a 5-Star rating in a review published in the April 1999 edition of SC Magazine.

CyberGuard scored the highest possible overall rating in a field that included 13 other firewall vendors, including Check Point, Raptor, Gauntlet and WatchGuard. CyberGuard finished with the highest ratings in features, ease of use, and documentation. A 30-day demo copy of the latest version of the CyberGuard Firewall for Windows NT is available from CyberGuard.

SC Magazine described the CyberGuard Firewall as "one of the most feature-rich firewalls available," with "an impressive array of NT hardening options. A high-end firewall that scales in price down to the smallest installation." They further praised CyberGuard's recent world-recognized certification by the UK government by noting that this "ITSEC E3 classification will make it an automatic choice for certain environments."

The review pointed out that CyberGuard has addressed the lack of adequate logging and reporting provided by most firewall vendors, stating that "CyberGuard is right at the opposite end of the scale" from other vendors' offerings. "Auditing and reporting are excellent, and alarms may be configured for each type of violation. Documentation is extremely thorough." CyberGuard scored five stars for documentation, a rating unmatched by most of the firewalls reviewed, including Network Associates Gauntlet for NT.

"This review is proof that we have equaled or surpassed the leading Windows NT firewall vendors in each of the reviewed criteria," noted David Proctor, Chairman and CEO of CyberGuard Corporation. "What propels us ahead of competing solutions is our unique hardening of the NT environment through SecureGuard(TM), something no one else can match. When you couple this with our ITSEC E3 certification and our scalable architecture, it becomes evident that we offer the most secure, flexible and cost-effective Windows NT firewall for enterprises of any size."

The CyberGuard Firewall for Windows NT offers all three types of firewall architectures, a wide range of intranet and Internet SmartProxies(TM), and full Windows NT environment hardening via SecureGuard(TM). SmartProxies enable customers to configure the firewall according to their own requirements while paying for only the capabilities that they need. CyberGuard's MilleniumGuard feature provides continuous protection from non-Y2K-compliant sites.

"The SC Magazine testing clearly places our Firewall in the forefront of Windows NT security solutions," noted Martin Ryan, CyberGuard VP of Worldwide Sales and Operations. "By earning five stars, the highest possible rating, in a review that includes offerings from Check Point (CHKP), Axent (AXNT), and Network Associates (NETA), CyberGuard has clearly emerged as a leader in enterprise protection. Whether companies are looking to replace their existing firewalls or are making a first-time purchase, CyberGuard provides them with the level of security, performance, features and price that Windows NT users demand. We are now offering a free trial copy of our Windows NT Firewall, so evaluation of this product has become a no-risk opportunity."
