       Cyberguard offers firewall for NT

       Network security and e-commerce systems provider CyberGuard today
       rolled out a version of its firewall software for Microsoft's
       Windows NT.
       
       The CyberGuard
       Firewall for Windows NT with SecureGuard now includes Internet
       SmartProxies which adds additional intranet and extranet security
       features.
       
       In addition, CyberGuard has also included its MillenniumGuard software
       to the Windows NT package, which provides protection from noncompliant
       Year 2000 sites, the company said.
       
       The Smart Proxies expand Internet capabilities that enable users to
       selectively configure the firewall according to their Internet,
       intranet, and extranet requirements while paying just for those
       functions they require.
       
       As reported earlier, the MilleniumGuard feature uses rule-based
       filtering to provide continuous protection from non-Year 2000
       compliant applications. Year 2000 compliance means a company's
       computer system interprets the Year 2000 as that year rather than 1900
       or a meaningless 00.
       
       The new product also offers CyberGuard's operating system security
       based on its firewall for UnixWare.
       
       Available now, pricing for the CyberGuard Firewall for Windows NT,
       including the new Internet SmartProxies and MillenniumGuard feature,
       ranges from $1,495 to $15,545, depending on the number of hosts,
       utilized services, and application proxy models.
