CyberGuard Secures SME/SMB Market

CyberGuard Corporation will begin shipping a new compact version of its firewall appliances in December. The set-top model, first of the LX series of firewall appliances, combines stateful packet inspection with full application-level proxies, carries Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4) certification, and includes an integrated VPN.

With this release, for the first time the company moves squarely into the small and medium-sized enterprises and businesses (SME/SMB) market. The LX model is designed so SME/SMBs can have the same high-security benefits as government and commercial enterprise organizations. Priced under $4,000, CyberGuard's LX is an integrated firewall/VPN appliance with an EAL4 certification, one of the most rigorous independent certifications achievable, recognized internationally by 15 countries.

Like each of the other CyberGuard appliance firewalls, the LX model incorporates multilevel security (MLS). MLS treats each layer of the secure operating system discretely, maintaining complete separation of network traffic from system components. This design removes access to the operating system from would-be hackers, creating a virtually impenetrable firewall environment.

While the LX is designed for the rapidly growing small office and home office market, it is compatible with the entire appliance line, so it can also function as part of an enterprise network security solution that includes one of CyberGuard's higher-bandwidth appliance firewalls.

Specific product features include a full-featured, integrated VPN; compact, set-top chassis; three 10/100 Ethernet ports; and an intuitive management interface designed especially for the SME/SMB buyer who is looking for ease-of-installation and ease-of-use.
