CyberGuard Raises the Bar for Web Filtering Security With Triple
Anti-Virus Engines for Its Webwasher Content Security Suite New
Webwasher CSM 5.2 Version Includes One-Click Lockdown Feature to
Keep Businesses Under Heavy Attack Running and Integrated Identity
Theft Protection BOCA RATON, Fla., June 28 /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 a
powerful new content security solution that simultaneously scans
using up to three anti-virus engines to thwart security threats
individual anti-virus engines may miss, thereby proactively
preventing the loss of sensitive data to identity thieves.
Webwasher CSM 5.2, the newest version of CyberGuard's Content
Security Management Suite, also delivers a unique 'One-Click
Lockdown' feature which enables organizations to weather heavy
attacks by triggering a lockdown of vulnerable areas of the network
while allowing necessary applications to run uninterrupted.
Webwasher CSM 5.2 will be generally available in July. Though all
anti-virus vendors claim to offer full coverage of known viruses
and end-to-end protection, recent data proves otherwise. According
to the 2004 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, 99% of
companies use anti-virus software, yet 78% of them were hit by
viruses, worms and other malware. This occurs in large part because
anti-virus vendors are often one step behind the latest attack
trends and unable to identity new theft schemes such as 'phishing,'
'pharming' or 'ransom-ware' until after they have caused extensive
damage to unsuspecting users. "Large enterprises and government
organizations are under the false impression that a single
anti-virus solution will guard against any threat," said Pat
Clawson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CyberGuard. "By
combining our Proactive Security Filters with three top-rated
anti-virus engines, our customers can remain on the offensive,
thwarting attacks before they occur and preventing these incidents
from negatively impacting their bottom line." By delivering up to
three anti-virus engines working in tandem, CSM 5.2: * Increases
the probability that one of the scan engines will be updated by
anti-virus labs earlier than the others, consequently greatly
reducing the time between a virus outbreak and the anti-virus
update. * Catches viruses that single anti-virus program might have
missed, resulting in better performance, less latency and higher
security. * Protects against unavailability of virus updates from
one anti-virus vendor due to power outages, natural disasters or
other unforeseen circumstances. "Organizations are hard-pressed to
keep pace with the increasing volume and maliciousness of identity
thieves and virus writers," said Brian Burke, Research Manager of
Security Products, IDC. "The comprehensive and proactive
functionality of Webwasher's CSM suite -- including the impressive
'One-Click Lockdown' feature -- is an approach that would enable
many customers to stay ahead of the malicious code challenge."
'One-Click Lockdown' is a powerful and unique security tool that
enables network administrators to fend off potential zero-day
attacks, network worms or malware that is rapidly spreading through
the internet. Traditionally, large enterprises and organizations
under heavy attack pull the plug and shut down everything to
contain the damage -- which not only disrupts business operations
but adversely impacts the bottom line. With 'One-Click Lockdown'
organizations can pre-configure settings in advance so that if a
massive, fast-moving attack does occur, network administrators can
click a single button, shut down sensitive areas of the business
without affecting other applications or network functions. CSM 5.2
also includes an Anti-Phishing Filter that effectively blocks
phishing e-mails by double checking links against known phishing
sites and providing a two-way filter to detect potentially infected
PCs that are hijacked and used as spamming machines distributing
phishing e-mails. Other new or enhanced features in CSM 5.2
include: Comprehensive life and log file reporting on viruses in
Web and e-mail; Extended URL-Filter Categories and Simple Network
Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) support. Pricing CyberGuard's Webwasher
CSM 5.2, including Anti-Virus and Content Protection, starts at a
per-user price of $11.82/year including one anti-virus engine,
$21.28 for two anti-virus engines or $28.37 including three
anti-virus engines for a three year subscription for 1,000 users.
