Short Take: Network General launches CyberCop

Network General unveiled a new hardware and software security product, CyberCop, that acts as a real-time network and firewall surveillance service. By collecting network data on the go, the tool can notify administrators if there is an unauthorized attack on their network and compile reports on network traffic. The hardware sits at junction points within networks and at a layout's edge. CyberCop will be available by December, with pricing to be announced early next month.
