RAPTOR INTRODUCES INDUSTRY'S FIRST ENTERPRISE FIREWALL SECURITY SOLUTION
FOR WINDOWS NT

Eagle NT firewall addresses critical need for security, as WINDOWS NT's
widescale acceptance as a mission-critical Internet platform grows.

WALTHAM, MASS., JANUARY 15, 1996 -- Raptor Systems today unveiled Eagle NT,
the industry's first enterprise network security firewall for Microsoft's
Windows NT. Eagle NT offers companies a proven, scalable security solution
to maximize data communications across the entire enterprise from the
Internet and workgroup LANs to remote offices and mobile PCs to ensure
wherever information travels, it is secure.

Raptor's entire suite of Eagle firewall products will be available for
Windows NT, enabling companies for the first time to take advantage of
NT's ease of use, low cost of ownership and multiplatform support without
compromising data as it travels across the Internet and private networks.

As Windows NT's popularity continues to grow in the MIS community as an
Internet and enterprise network server, the Eagle NT family of security
software eliminates a key barrier for a new class of users who are looking
to NT as a mission-critical enterprise network platform. For Fortune 1000
and small to medium-sized companies using Windows NT, Eagle NT offers a
comprehensive security solution that until now has only been available for
UNIX customers.

"There is a large installed base of Windows users who don't have the
expertise or desire to master the intricacies of UNIX", said Stephen
Franco, program manager for interactive commerce research at The Yankee
Group. "Eagle NT will offer these users the same robust, enterprise-wide
security solutions that have been available to the UNIX market from a
well-respected, proven security vendor."

Over the past year, Windows NT sales have increased dramatically, and
forecasts suggest the volume of NT sales is expected to increase at a more
rapid pace. According to International Data Corporation, NT sales made up
13.3 percent of total server sales during the first half of 1995, compared
to less than 5 percent in 1994.

RAPTOR'S EAGLE SUITE FOR WINDOWS NT

Raptor's Eagle suite of security products is the industry's first
real-time, application-level firewall solution for Windows NT, offering
advanced features such as access control, strong authentication,
industry-standard encryption, real-time Suspicious Activity Monitor (SAM)
and extensive detection, alarm and reporting capabilities. With Eagle NT,
an enterprise's network security policy can be created, monitored and
maintained from a single workstation.

Raptor's modular, enterprise approach for small, medium and large sites is
configurable to fit many network situations. For example, Harbor Branch
Oceanographic Institution, a beta site for Raptor's Windows NT-based
Eagle, relies on the Internet to share information with collaborators, as
well as to communicate its research findings with clients, including
pharmaceutical companies and government agencies. Because the
confidentiality of its research is critical, the company must ensure that
the information travelling across the local network is protected.

"As a small, non-profit organization with limited information systems
resources, we needed an easy-to-maintain yet powerful network security
solution to accommodate our Windows-based PC network," said Rob Ruhge,
computer services manager at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution.
"With Eagle on Windows NT, we can integrate it into our operations very
easily. It doesn't require a lot of resources to manage and we're
confident our data communications are secure."

Raptor's Eagle NT products are based on its Five Domains of Network
Security, a comprehensive approach to security that offers the flexibility
to add and enhance security within the enterprise as business needs
change. Eagle NT offers users Internet security (Domain 1). In addition,
Raptor is developing EagleLAN NT and EagleDesk NT (Domain 2) to provide
workgroup and LAN security, EagleMobile NT to secure nomadic PCs (Domain
3) and EagleRemote NT (Domain 4) to protect communications between remote
offices and corporate headquarters. (Refer to the section below for
availability of the suite of products.)

VPN FOR WINDOWS NT

Raptor's virtual private networking (VPN) technology offers the
accessibility and security of a private leased T1 line at a fraction of
the cost. VPN sets up encrypted tunnels through the Internet or corporate
networks through which data can travel securely. VPN is an integral part
of Domain 5 for centralized management, configuration and monitoring
between all locations. VPN for Windows NT will be announced in Q1, with
delivery expected in Q2. It will be offered as an add-on product to Eagle
NT.

"The combination of Eagle's comprehensive security approach with the
powerful processing environment of Windows NT offers customers a valuable
tool for maximizing the business opportunities of information access,"
said Robert Steinkrauss, president and chief executive officer of Raptor
Systems. "Eagle NT addresses a critical, unmet need of the marketplace
today, offering customers for whom UNIX is not an option a complete,
flexible and proven security solution."

Raptor's Eagle NT for Internet security will be available in 30 to 60 days,

"Raptor's Eagle UNIX suite provides a very high level of protection for
Internet connections, regardless of whether users are internal employees
connected to workgroup LANs or third-party vendors tapping into corporate
networks via laptop PCs,"  said Bruce Murphy, director of information
technology security services at Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.

Eagle NT will offer our Windows-based customers a similar flexible, proven
security solution across the entire enterprise that UNIX users are
benefitting from today using Raptor's Eagle family of firewall products.
