Business Wire
CyberGuard(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:CGFW), a global provider of
security solutions that protect the business-critical information
assets of Global 2000 enterprises and government organizations,
today announced that BT Global Services, a new customer for
CyberGuard, has deployed 140 CyberGuard firewalls as part of a
large project providing robust and resilient security to manage
applications for their clients in the financial services sector.
CyberGuard has a long-established reputation for supplying security
solutions to the financial services sector as well as government,
utilities and the military. BT Global Services deployed CyberGuard
because its products provide the highest level of security, as well
as CyberGuard's ability to provide a highly customized, centrally
managed, comprehensive security solution based on proven
technology. CyberGuard is one of an elite group of companies whose
firewall products have reached the highest level of independent
certification with Common Criteria EAL 4+, which was also a major
consideration in the selection process. Martin Elliott, business
manager, major client solutions, BT Global Services, said, "Due to
the complex business environment and nature of the applications we
manage for our clients, we needed a solution that could not be met
by an off-the-shelf package. The ability and willingness to
customise the firewall/VPN appliances was a key factor in our
selection criteria and CyberGuard worked closely with us to deliver
the product and features that we wanted. The Common Criteria EAL 4+
certification was also of importance to us and gave us reassurance
that their products have gone through a rigorous testing process.
CyberGuard's solution has smoothly integrated into our existing
managed infrastructure which means we have been able to continue
providing a highly robust, resilient security environment for our
financial services customers." "Managed security providers have
always demanded the most technologically advanced security
solutions to provide comprehensive protection to their customers,"
said Andrew Clarke, Vice President and Managing Director EMEA,
CyberGuard. "The fact that BT Global Services has chosen CyberGuard
enterprise grade security solutions which have EAL 4+ certification
demonstrates the strength of our application-level protection and
the integrity of our security framework." About BT BT is one of the
