CyberGuard offers a line of highly secure, high performing and easy-to-manage firewall/VPN (virtual private network) appliances that are designed to handle a complete range of information security needs from high-volume users like major telecommunications carriers and huge data centers to small businesses.

The firewall provides a multilevel secure operating environment located between networks - internal networks or an internal network and the Internet - controlling access by setting up a single secure connection point through which all data must travel.

CyberGuard's firewall technology utilizes multilevel security (MLS) in combination with mandatory access control (MAC) to restrict access to information based on the sensitivity of the information and the access authorization level of system users.

While a firewall protects the integrity of a network, a VPN allows businesses to construct secure, protected tunnels through which business dealings can take place. CyberGuard appliances combine one of the world's most secure firewall and VPN technologies with a top-quality hardware platform to deliver unmatched security and maximum performance. They are easy to install and manage, and have a low total cost of ownership.

Designed to meet the bandwidth needs of a wide range of enterprise environments, CyberGuard firewall/VPN appliances range from the powerful SL2000, KS1500 and KS1000 models to the more moderate FS250 and FS500 appliances and a compact desktop LX model.

CyberGuard has an unparalleled record when it comes to providing the highest level of security. The company has never had a publicly documented vulnerability or CERT alert.
