Ultra-Portable USB Device Protects PCs from Broadest Range of Attacks
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking a page from its own
miniaturization playbook, Yoggie Security Systems(TM) (exhibiting at 2008
International CES in the Sands Convention Center, Innovation Pod #269) has
introduced a unique, ultra-portable USB key-sized hardware-based firewall
solution to protect PCs from malicious attacks.
The Firestick Pico(TM) places a physical barrier between PCs and the
Internet to ensure that threats never reach users' computers. Unlike
software firewalls, the fire red colored Firestick Pico mini-computer is
based on a dedicated hardware platform specifically designed to protect PCs
from the most devastating menaces including denial of service, buffer
overflow and the broadest range of malicious attacks. It blocks all
Internet threats and attacks outside -- before they reach PCs or laptops.
The Firestick Pico is a complete Linux-based 300 MHz computer with a
dual flash memory mechanism that constitutes an 'untouchable operating
system' running an independent firewall application. In addition, each
Firestick Pico comes with a complimentary Kaspersky security software
suite.
"Yoggie's Firestick Pico brings another choice to end users," said
Shlomo Touboul, CEO and founder of Yoggie Security Systems. "While our
Gatekeeper Pico offloads all security applications from a PC, the Firestick
Pico offloads just the firewall functionality at a much lower cost. This
allows different levels of security and a range of price points for
discerning buyers who are joining the Yoggie revolution: moving security
applications from the PC to dedicated, miniature computers to enhance
security and improve PC performance."
With Yoggie's Firestick Pico, road warriors can connect to any
unsecured hotspot with the comfort of being completely protected.
The Firestick Pico, at an MSRP of $119, is now available at leading
e-tailers including: Buy.com, Amazon.com, NewEgg.com and BestBUY.com, in
leading high-street retailer Fnac in France and will be introduced into
leading retailers in the U.S. and U.K. in early 2008. A full list of
e-tailers and retailers can be found at www.yoggie.com/retailers.
