(OTC:CYBG) CyberGuard Kicks Off National Sales Training Activities As Channel Development Program With Marketlink Gets Underway

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2001--CyberGuard Corporation, the technology leader in network security, today announced that it has launched an intense national training program to educate the Marketlink Technologies sales force about CyberGuard products and services. Over the next two weeks, training will take place in several of Marketlink's regional training centers throughout the United States. When the training is complete, Marketlink technical sales professionals will begin working with U.S. resellers and VARs to increase CyberGuard's channel distribution.

Patrick J. Clawson, president of CyberGuard Corporation, stated, "This is a major initiative for our company in the U.S. As we complete the training, we expect to be able to shift from an emphasis on direct sales in the U.S. to channels. That strategy has been the key to our success in Europe and Asia. By partnering with Marketlink, we expect to be able to identify, sign and drive sales through U.S. resellers at an accelerated pace."

Earlier this month CyberGuard signed an agreement with Marketlink Technologies, a national channel development firm, authorizing them to be the exclusive representative of CyberGuard firewall and VPN technology in the U.S. The agreement was recently modified to set aside three out of thirteen regions in the United States which CyberGuard regional sales managers will administer.
