Business Wire
CyberGuard 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 TOP-TOY A/S, the largest toy retailer in the Nordic
region and the master franchisee for TOYS "R" US in Scandinavia,
has chosen CyberGuard to secure their intranet, linking their head
office to all 200 retail outlets across the entire Nordic Region.
"Following the success of the rollouts in Finland, Norway and
Denmark the company has now implemented the same secure intranet
solution in Sweden where they will also use it to provide a direct
connection to CEKAB (authorisation of card transactions) via VPN
instead of using an ISDN connection," said Christian Lysel, System
Administrator, TOP-TOY A/S. "We have implemented over two hundred
CyberGuard SG firewall/VPNs in our shops and offices in Norway,
Finland, Denmark and Sweden," continued Lysel. TOP-TOY A/S looked
to CyberGuard for a VPN solution that could be centrally managed
and quickly deployed in all their stores and remote offices to
enable them to take advantage of the higher bandwidth offered by
ADSL to create a secure intranet. The challenge was to improve
business performance and customer care programs as well as to
reduce telecoms bills. All this had to be achieved by providing a
cost-effective level of security and flexibility acceptable to
TOP-TOY A/S. "As the firewalls are powered by stable, secure and
configurable firmware based upon embedded Linux, they were flexible
and easy to install. Using a text file script, it takes one minute
to install each appliance and no third-party client software is
required. This has enabled us to implement a secure intranet with
the minimum of cost and effort. Another key feature we required was
the facility to allow remote users to be able to print locally
while accessing applications over our intranet via the VPN. We
looked at many different vendors' appliances but only CyberGuard
provided what we needed to meet all our objectives," said Christian
Lysel. TOP-TOY A/S created a secure VPN connection between the
shops and their head office to create an intranet supporting the
real-time update of sales and stock data, pricing information,
email and web access. With the additional secure bandwidth they are
now able to run real-time applications such as remote desktop, a
time management system synchronised over the intranet between the
head office and remote stores as well as a video based e-learning
system for training their staff. This e-learning application has
proven be of great benefit in delivering consistent, high quality
service to their customers. Andrew Clarke, Vice President and
Managing Director, Europe of CyberGuard, said, "Companies have
increasingly adopted the CyberGuard SG product line to secure their
infrastructures creating effective, efficient and most importantly
secure communications within their businesses." CyberGuard's SG
line is an extensive range of desktop and branch office
firewall/VPN appliances. They are ideal for securing mobile
workers, remote or small offices (SMB/SME), critical servers or
networks of ATM or point-of-sale terminals. About CyberGuard
