With CyberCop, your critical IS resources are now protected by a network motion detector, burglar alarm and security camera. Our customers perceive a growing threat to their business operations. Many companies are experiencing a significant increase in the number of attacks against their networks. The 1997 Computer Crime Survey sponsored by the Computer Security Institute and Federal Bureau of Investigation indicates that the frequently cited statistic 80% of information security problems are internal — is no longer accurate. While the threat from internal users or intruders masquerading as trusted insiders has not diminished, the number of external attacks is growing due to widespread Internet use. CyberCop alerts network operations personnel to suspicious activity within seconds, allowing them to immediately shut down the intruder without interrupting critical business processes. "Intrusion detection is a crucial issue in security because even the best systems and defenses are broken into eventually," said Dan Farmer, noted security expert and creator of the first public domain scanning tool. Network General’s intrusion detection system draws on the company’s experience in delivery packet-level analysis systems-such as the popular Sniffer® Analyzer which have been used by network managers to catch intruders — CyberCop is a technology to automate this process. CyberCop contributes to our commitment of providing Total Network Visibility ®. In addition, NGC teamed up with WheelGroup Corporation of San Antonio, Texas which is the leading supplier of Intrusion Detection technology to develop CyberCop. WheelGroup has extensive experience in Information Warfare and were featured in the February 1997, cover article in Fortune Magazine.
