CyberGuard Appoints Dr. Horst Joepen Senior Vice President Strategic Alliances

BOCA RATON, Fla.- Dec. 14, 2004 - CyberGuard Corporation (Nasdaq: CGFW), a provider of proven, intelligent security solutions that protect business-critical assets for Global 2,000 organizations and government entities worldwide, today announced the appointment of Dr. Horst Joepen, chief executive officer of the company's Webwasher subsidiary, to senior vice president strategic alliances. In addition to his responsibilities as CEO of Webwasher AG, Dr. Joepen is also now responsible for establishing and advancing CyberGuard's strategically important partnerships.

One of the main aspects of his work will be the integration of the CyberGuard management console Global Command Center(TM) with third party network management tools. In the past five years since founding Webwasher, Joepen has been influential in establishing and expanding strategic alliances with such leading information technology companies as Network Appliance, Computer Associates, McAfee and others.

"Webwasher has long-standing, successful partnerships, not just with traditional security vendors but also with other established major players in IT," said Pat Clawson, chairman and chief executive officer of CyberGuard. "We want to make use of Horst's experience in this area for the entire corporation. A key element of our strategy is to grow our business through partnerships - establishing new ones and growing existing partnerships. We look forward to new and interesting partners in the near future."

"After building Webwasher with my team from a start-up to a very successful privately held company, I am excited about the opportunity to use my experience in cultivating strategic partnerships for the benefit of CyberGuard," said Dr. Horst Joepen. "After successfully integrating our teams and introducing the first joint products after just six months, CyberGuard is moving ahead to optimally utilize the particular strengths and qualities of all individuals in the companies that have been acquired."

In August, CyberGuard appointed Gary Taggart, Webwasher's former US general manager, to senior vice president worldwide sales for CyberGuard Corporation.
