Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
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.
