CyberGuard announces central management solution to support entire suite of enterprise network

Global Command Center 3.0 Delivers a Single, Intuitive Graphical
Environment for Customers to Manage Security Policies
Across the Global Enterprise

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CyberGuard Corporation (Nasdaq: CGFW), a global provider of security solutions that protect the critical components of the largest and most complex information networks for Global 2000 enterprises and government organizations, today announced the release of Global Command Center 3.0, a significant enhancement to its enterprise-class central policy management system that enables customers to implement and manage security policy across CyberGuard's entire core-to-edge product suite from one central location.

An enterprise security policy for large enterprises often involves hundreds of security policy rules deployed across a fleet of firewalls. Global Command Center addresses this challenge by enabling customers to update policies in real-time as threats change, and ensure that these changes are applied consistently across the entire network.

"As customers continue to deploy our core-to-edge security solutions throughout the enterprise, it was essential for us to develop a centralized management tool that could support any CyberGuard product," said Pat Clawson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CyberGuard. "Global Command Center delivers a cohesive, integrated security management solution for organizations to proactively manage disparate and rapidly changing security demands across the network. It will deliver major cost efficiencies for our customers."

Global Command Center offers comprehensive support for CyberGuard's enterprise-class TSP Appliances, as well as centralized management capabilities for the company's Webwasher, Classic and SG product lines. Global Command Center builds upon an already robust set of central policy management tools by delivering:

* Centralized Reporting and Monitoring -- Global Command Center improves
network "uptime" by making it easier for technicians, network
administrators and security administrators to work together, thereby
improving management efficiency, reducing overhead, and lowering
operating costs.

* Report Generation for Compliance Purposes -- Regulatory requirements
and potential investigations place the burden on the organization to
maintain accurate and easily accessible reports. Global Command Center
delivers real-time report generation for activity occurring throughout
the communications stream.

* A Powerful Standard Operating Environment -- Global Command Center is
powered by CyberGuard's hardened operating environment, found across
the company's entire line of solutions. This translates into improved
security for customers.

* Patch Management -- Providing centralized software updates across
CyberGuard's product lines reduces network administration costs and
improves security.

Pricing and Availability
CyberGuard's Global Command Center 3.0 will be available later this quarter from the company's worldwide network of distributions. For more information or to contact a distributor in your area, please visit http://www.cyberguard.com.
