    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- PGP Security, Inc., a
 Network Associates (Nasdaq:   NETA) business today announced that the latest
 version of its industry-leading intrusion protection scanner, CyberCop Scanner
 5.5, has won "Analyst's Choice" honors from PC Week magazine in a comparative
 review of vulnerability scanners.  The new version of CyberCop Scanner
 software was named "one of the best vulnerability scanners PC Week labs has
 ever seen," setting a new standard for security features delivered in an
 intrusion protection product.  This first look at the new CyberCop Scanner
 product reaffirms PGP Security's commitment to providing powerful and
 comprehensive security to enable e-business, and is available in its entirety
 at:  http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,2420341,00.html.
     PC Week reviewers, who judged CyberCop Scanner based on usability,
 capability, performance, interoperability and manageability, praised CyberCop
 as a "powerhouse with a raft of features" designed to give network
 administrators specialized strength in firewall scanning.  PC Week lauded
 CyberCop for its excellent, highly configurable reporting capabilities, which
 deliver key information via several flexible report export options.  Reviewers
 called out the ability to detect highly sophisticated security holes as the
 most important among the pivotal features required of a vulnerability scanner
 and reported that CyberCop eclipsed its competitors as the "most powerful
 scanner tested" by repeatedly turning up more vulnerabilities and in less
 time.  One reason cited for CyberCop's efficiency is a new feature that
 enables the product to detect a machine's operating system and then
 specifically target scans to that system.  These improvements to speed and
 reporting give new levels of power and flexibility to network administrators
 committed to security policy enforcement.  The range of functionality
 supersedes all competitors, including Internet Security Systems, whose most
 recent product did not meet PC Week's Analyst's Choice qualifications.
     "CyberCop Scanner provides e-businesses with greater capabilities for
 proactive, secure network policing and quick action to block potential holes
 in their systems," said Rama Moorthy, senior product manager for CyberCop
 products, PGP Security.  "Now, CyberCop's new Analyst's Choice designation
 makes it even easier for our customers to differentiate us from less
 comprehensive technologies.  PGP Security has crafted an easy-to-use, powerful
 tool so companies can quickly and efficiently add vulnerability assessment to
 their e-business planning."
     Specific commendation is given to CyberCop industry-leading AutoUpdate
 feature.  CyberCop Scanner includes the ability to automatically download
 information on newly discovered weaknesses, enabling customers to scan for and
 fix new holes almost instantly using PGP Security's new AutoFix technology.
 The updates are supported by Network Associate's international team of
 vulnerability research experts, who constantly investigate new threats to both
 software and hardware security.  A list of the team's security advisories,
 issued to furnish the entire security community with critical information, is
 available at http://www.nai.com/nai_labs/asp_set/advisory.asp.  PC Week
 highlights the fact that network security professionals will immediately
 realize the new flexibility the automated update technology allows by
 informing administrators within minutes of detection when new vulnerabilities
 have been discovered.
     CyberCop Scanner is an integral component of the CyberCop family of
 intrusion protection products, which provide network administrators with
 industry-leading assessment capabilities to scan, monitor and apprehend
 intruders.  The suite also consists of CyberCop Monitor, a next-generation
 real-time intrusion detection system designed to nullify both network- and
 system-based attacks, as well as CyberCop Sting, a decoy trace-and-track
 server that silently records and reports all intrusive activity to security
 administrators.  For more information or to download a free trial version of
