Healtheon/WebMD to Deploy SonicWALL Products to Protect Sensitive Medical Information

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 21, 1999-- SonicWALL Inc. (Nasdaq:SNWL - news), a leading
provider of Internet security for broadband access customers in the small- to medium-size company, branch office,
telecommuter and education markets, today announced that it was selected by Healtheon/WebMD Corporation
(Nasdaq:HLTH - news) to provide Internet security within the company's Extranet system, which is being deployed to serve
the healthcare industry.

Healtheon/WebMD connects physicians and other healthcare providers to the Internet, allowing them to communicate with
hospitals, payers, physician groups and consumers, submit and monitor insurance claims, check patient eligibility, and order
laboratory and diagnostic tests. Because of the highly confidential nature of patient information, these healthcare providers that
their data be secure on their ``always-on'' broadband connection to the Internet. To ensure the security of this data,
Healtheon/WebMD selected the SonicWALL family of Internet Security Appliances, which offer robust, reliable and
affordable firewalling, Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention, web-site access control and IPSec-based Virtual Private
Networking in a single, integrated platform.

``Some healthcare professionals have been hesitant to use the Internet to communicate with patients and other players in the
healthcare industry and perform transactions because they are concerned about security,'' said Steve Curd, chief information
officer for Healtheon/WebMD. ``Given the sensitive nature of most healthcare communications, it was vital that we establish
relationships with organizations that provide world-class Internet security. With SonicWALL, we have accomplished that
objective,'' Curd added.

``Leveraging the power of the Internet to enhance the provisioning of quality healthcare requires robust security measures to
ensure that patient records and other sensitive information is not divulged or compromised,'' said Sreekanth Ravi, president and
CEO of SonicWALL, Inc. ``We look forward to continuing to work with Healtheon/WebMD to provide robust, affordable
Internet security for healthcare professionals.''
