SHIVA INTRODUCES WEBROVER SOLUTION

Provides Corporate Sites A Single, Secure, and Scaleable System for
Enabling Access to The Corporate LAN, Intranets And The Internet By Remote
And Lan-based Users

BEDFORD, MA., FEBRUARY 20, 1996 -- Shiva Corporation (NASDAQ: SHVA) today
announced WebRover, a remote access system that provides corporate sites
with a single solution for extending secure and seamless connectivity
between the corporation and the Internet to all important corporate
constituencies: on-LAN corporate employees, remote employees dialing in
from home or the road, partners and customers, and the general public.
WebRover combines Shiva's market leading LanRover remote access server and
Integrator router products with a security firewall from Raptor Systems to
provide a complete solution for analog and ISDN dial-in and dial-out,
integrated with dedicated access to the Internet via a leased line
connection. Specifically designed to meet the needs of corporate sites and
Internet Service Providers (ISPs), WebRover is the first offering from a
comprehensive suite of technology that will expand Shiva's solutions for
remote access to the Internet.

Frank Ingari, Shiva Chairman and CEO commented, "About a year ago our
customers began to report a major new application of the LanRover
corporate LAN access solution. Rather than encouraging employees to
establish individual dial-up accounts with local ISPs, corporations began
to standardize on the corporate LanRover as the dial-up server for
Internet access. Users simply dial in to the LanRover and piggyback on the
high-speed corporate link to the Internet. Now, the increased use of
Internet technology for private internal applications (the "Intranet"),
privileged semi-public applications such as on-line tech support
knowledgebases, and publicly accessible corporate Websites are all driving
demand for a connectivity architecture between the corporation and the
Internet that can address the ever-growing number of access possibilities
with levels of security appropriate to each use."

Web Rover is based on Shiva's award-winning LanRover remote access
technology, augmented with the ShivaIntegrator 200 leased line router.
Together they provide scaleable, secure and cost-effective access to
private networks and the Internet. Firewall software from Raptor Systems
provides an optional, added level of security for corporations to protect
their private networks and Intranets from unwanted entrants such as
hackers and competitors.

Ingari continued, With WebRover, end users will have the advantage of
universal access to public and private networks while on the road, at home
or in the office. The company gets much better utilization and management
of its high-speed Internet link, and has far more information about who is
accessing the Internet and for how long, while the employee is relieved of
accessing multiple systems to get information off the corporate LAN,
Intranet and the Internet."

INTEGRATED, SECURE ACCESS OPTIONS

WebRover provides a complete solution for corporate sites to establish
Intranets, partners networks, and public networks. As a single, cost-
effective system, WebRover enables secure connections for:

1.. outbound access to the Internet via the leased line connection and
outbound access to other online services through the LanRover for
LAN-based employees;

2.. mobile workers to access the corporate LAN via an analog or ISDN
connection and the Internet via a leased line connection. The firewall can
be configured to allow only certain users access out to the Internet;

3.. partners and customers to access a dedicated private web server.
Because the private partner/customer network is on the inside of the
firewall, users are prevented from accessing the Internet unless
authorized;

4.. provision of public web services for the outside world; and

5.. ubiquitous public LAN access with a PPP client. In this situation it is
not necessary for users to have Internet service to access the company's
public LAN or demonstration network. Because the LanRover is a PPP-based
server only a PPP-based client, such as ShivaPPP, is needed to gain
access. Because this network is on the outside of the firewall, the
private LAN and Intranets are protected.

For example, a sales person on the road may need to work on a proposal.
With WebRover, he or she can access other proposals stored on the
corporate LAN for ideas on how to structure the new one. During that same
session, the sales person can easily access the internal web server, or
Intranet, and view the latest service and support offerings and read about
promotions the company is currently offering. Finally, he or she may
choose to access competitors' home pages to gain a clearer understanding
of similar offerings that are available to the prospect. Ultimately, this
sales person has available all of the tools and intelligence needed to
complete the proposal through one connection, using a single remote access
solution.

By using one solution to meet all remote access and Internet access needs,
organizations are able to address business requirements for access to
information anytime from anywhere while ensuring that the corporate
network is safe from intentional or accidental access by unauthorized
users. WebRover provides several levels of security ranging from username
and password authentication and dial-back in the remote access server to
IP filtering and PAP and CHAP support in the Internet access device. The
addition of the Raptor Eagle firewall provides application-level filtering
for a third level of security against unauthorized network access. The
firewall also allows companies to establish separate secure networks for
partner, customer or public access.

PART OF A BROADER INTERNET SOLUTION STRATEGY

With WebRover, Shiva continues to deliver scaleable, easy-to-manage,
high-performance products and services for corporations and ISPs. Most
recently, Shiva and Netscape Communications announced that Netscape will
continue to embed ShivaPPP remote access client software in the Netscape
Navigator Personal Edition and Navigator dial-up kit, providing hundreds
of thousands of remote users with seamless access to the Internet. At the
same time, Shiva launched the Compatibility Verification Program for ISPs
to insure optimized Internet access for individuals and corporations using
Netscape Navigator Personal Edition. Through Shiva Network Services
Division, Shiva offers consulting and deployment services for corporations
and ISPs looking to implement new access solutions or analyze and enhance
existing ones. Shiva plans to continue to enhance its Internet access
offerings by adding innovative products and services to its portfolio and
leveraging its strategic partnerships with today's Internet leaders
Microsoft, Netscape and Nortel.

"The vigorous growth in the remote access market, coupled with the
explosion in usage of the Internet by corporations creates an urgent need
for communications gateways that combine reliable, secure access to both
the corporate LAN and the Internet in a single, integrated product
family," said John Girard, a Research Director at Gartner Group.

"Shiva's WebRover is a robust, secure Internet access system that we intend
to support," said Don Hutchison, senior vice president of sales, NETCOM.
"It meets our rigorous technology and compatibility requirements while
providing our customers with a way to provide controlled, secure access to
their public and private resources for their employees, partners and
public audience."

COMPLETE, SECURE ACCESS SOLUTION BASED ON PROVEN PRODUCTS

WebRover comprises a LanRover remote access server, Shiva's client
software, an Internet access device, and optional firewall software. The
LanRover provides secure multi-protocol single-user dial-in and dial-out
functionality via analog or ISDN. The client software gives end users a
simple interface to use for accessing applications and information on
public and private networks. The ShivaIntegrator 200 Internet access
router provides high-speed, dedicated leased line access to the Internet
at speeds up to full T1 or 1.544 Mbps (E1 or 2 Mbps in Europe). The
firewall software can provide an added level of security.

Together this single, modular solution is intended to provide employees,
customers and partners with seamless, high-performance access to corporate
LAN resources, Intranets, partners networks and the Internet.
