About CyberGuard http://www.cyberguard.com
Incorporated in 1994 in conjunction with a spin-off from
Harris Corporation, CyberGuard's
roots extend as far back as 1967 with the founding of
Datacraft, a manufacturer of hardware and software for
real-time computers. In 1974, Harris Corporation
purchased Datacraft and renames it Harris Computer
Systems Division. In 1994, Harris Corporation spun off
Harris Computer Systems Corporation as an independent
public company, which produced computers for the
real-time computing market as well as the CyberGuard
firewall for the secure computing market. In June 1996,
following the sale of the real-time computer business,
the company changed its name to CyberGuard Corporation
reflecting a business focus on trusted computer systems.
The company has two subsidiaries, CyberGuard Europe,
Ltd., and CYBG Consultant, Inc.
