Device offers professional security for work and home
Yoggie Gatekeeper Card Pro is for businesses and home users.
PC security is like money; you can never have too much of it, and that holds true whether you work in a large office or in your own home. Office PCs are these days increasingly protected by dedicated hardware appliances. However, for reasons of cash and expertise – or a lack of both – home PC users generally rely on an anti-virus program and, if they are sensible, this is backed up by a software firewall.
But if you think that makes you safe, think again. Anti-virus programs and software firewalls can be disabled by malware, leaving your PC vulnerable to phishing and botnet attacks that sap your computer’s power and slow it to a crawl – quite apart from the risk of identity theft.
One defence against these horrors is the Yoggie Gatekeeper Card Pro. The Gatekeeper, about the size of a standard ExpressCard, plugs into a PC and sits between your machine and the internet, guarding your system and data against intrusions by viruses, trojans, worms and spyware.
Intended both for professional organisations and for the home user, the Yoggie Gatekeeper can be used in Corporate (managed) mode as part of an office network or as a standalone device, with the user setting up their own security policy.
A supplied CD contains driver and software, together with a 70-page user manual – and a Quick Start guide for users who lack the patience to plough their way through full user manuals. However, be sure to read one of these guides and to follow the installation instructions.
Designed primarily for laptops, the Yoggie Gatekeeper Card can be connected to a desktop PC using an adaptor (not supplied).
Once installed, the built-in software automatically takes care of updating virus signatures, so it’s a fit and forget defence.
The card is managed via a web-based management dashboard which provides status reports and security logs, and a way to configure device and network settings, as well as setting security policy. The console relies heavily on graphics, presenting information that’s easily understood.
Any home user feeling intimidated by the prospect of installing what is in effect a professional gateway can rest easy: the manual walks you through all the processes, including monitoring security activity, configuring VPN and firewall settings, spam protection setup, and web filtering.
The manual also explains how to uninstall the device. But why would you want to do that when it provides excellent all-round security and peace of mind!
Replace all your internet security software with ONE dedicated hardware unit.
