October 25 2005 - 7:00AM
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 significant new capabilities for its Global Command
Center central management platform. The new release, Global Command
Center 3.1, provides security professionals with a solid foundation
for defining, managing and auditing security policies in a
device-independent manner which scales to very large networks. New
in Release 3.1 are significant enhancements which include the
integrated management of CyberGuard and non-CyberGuard security
devices, improved management flexibility with intelligent filtering
and graphical network topology tools, expanded Business Continuity
capabilities and policy compliance reporting. Release 3.1 also adds
improved threat mitigation through "actionable" reports and the
PulseCast(TM) network lockdown feature, which allows security
administrators to proactively manage "zero-day" attacks. These
features make it easier to manage a large, multivendor security
infrastructure while ensuring a high level of regulatory
compliance. "As network security has become more integral to
regulatory compliance, it has simultaneously become more complex to
administer. The proliferation of devices, applications and security
policies has made many enterprise networks accidents waiting to
happen," said Pat Clawson, CEO of CyberGuard. "Global Command
Center 3.1 can bring order to this chaos by quickly identifying
policy inconsistencies across the network and allowing those
responsible for network security to take immediate control of
network security," added Clawson. Global Command Center's policy
compliance reporting automates the process of collecting and
comparing configuration data from all of CyberGuard firewall/VPN
appliances, and alerts administrators when non-compliant systems
are identified. Configuration audit reports make it easy to quickly
determine what changes were made, when, and by whom, or whether the
anomaly is due to a failure to apply the security policy to the
affected system. These reports can be distributed automatically to
security administrators and auditors charged with compliance
monitoring. As part of Global Command Center Release 3.1, security
administrators are able to instantly respond to a network threat or
unauthorized use of network resources with a single click while
viewing a Global Command Center report. In addition, with
CyberGuard's PulseCast(TM) technology, administrators can
pre-define and then instantly deploy a restrictive security policy
that locks down at-risk systems while preserving business-critical
operations. When the attack is over, PulseCast restores the
original policy settings. Global Command Center Release 3.1 also
helps businesses make their networks more resilient with new
Business Continuity features. Global Command Center now enables
administrators to store configuration data on up to four
geographically dispersed database servers in a "master/slave"
configuration. The master continuously assesses backup system
availability and replicates configuration data to each of the
backup servers for maximum reliability. Once the downed system
returns to service, data will be updated and synchronized across
all databases seamlessly and transparently. Global Command Center
ensures that critical systems recover quickly and easily with
minimal administrator intervention. Pricing and Availability Global
Command Center v3.1 is available for immediate delivery. Global
Command Center pricing begins at $2,995 (US List) and is available
from CyberGuard's global network of partners. About CyberGuard
