Winner of the RSA 2007 "Most Innovative Company" award and a Red Herring Top 100 Europe company:- introduces the latest additions to its USB security appliance range which revolutionizes laptop/PC security with 13 layers of in-depth enterprise-level protection

24 April 2007, Infosecurity, London. Yoggie Security Systems (TM) will highlight its Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro (TM), a miniature security appliance which brings all corporate-class security applications within the reach of mobile and remote workers; and also present the latest additions to its Yoggie Gatekeeper (TM) range: the Yoggie Gatekeeper SOHO and Personal on stand D170, the Demonstration Pavilion (11 am, 25 April) and the Lions Den (1.30pm, 26 April).
The Yoggie Gatekeeper (TM) is essentially a miniature and robust computer that uses a fully hardened and secure embedded OS with the sole purpose of protecting all operating systems. Connectable via USB, this laptop security solution offers 13 layers of protection and eliminates the need for multiple security applications on an OS that may conflict with each other and reduce computer performance. The technology presents an alternative to security only software packages, as the Yoggie Gatekeeper (TM) appliance physically separates security applications from the platform by placing them on dedicated hardware.
Shlomo Touboul, Founder and CEO of Yoggie Security Systems said, "Our addition of the Yoggie Gatekeeper SoHo (TM) and Yoggie Gatekeeper Personal (TM) versions is a testament to the success of the Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro (TM) enterprise appliance and a direct response to consumer and SoHo customer demands.
Hardware/software approach offers a competitive pricing model compared with popular software-only security suites The Yoggie Gatekeeper (TM) series set a new benchmark in the industry in terms of security applications on one appliance and cost per user as compared to software-only security suites, while offering a significantly more robust and comprehensive solution. In addition, the appliance offers scalability via the Yoggie Management Server and extends corporate level security to additional markets including SMBs, SOHO and personal users. Yoggie Security Systems (TM) is the only company to provide such a comprehensive security suite in one appliance with 13 layers of integrated software, physical separation of the laptop from the network, embedded hardened operating system that cannot be penetrated through its 2 Flash memory system and patented data mining based security agents.
Yoggie Gatekeeper's 13 layers of security:
* Antivirus
* Anti-Spam
* Anti-Phishing
* Antispyware
* Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System
* Intrusion VPN Client
* Adaptive Security Policy (TM)
* Multi-Layer Security Agent (TM) (Patent pending)
* Layer-8 Security Engine (TM) (Patent pending)
* URL Categorization & Filtering
