Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
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."
