Everbee Secure Offers Comprehensive Protection in Pocket-Size Format
SAN FRANCISCO and PARIS, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Everbee Networks today
announced a new device that lets families and business professionals keep
network-connected PCs safe from security threats without the hassle or cost of
constant software or hardware updates.
The Everbee Secure(TM) device is small enough to fit in a pocket, yet
powerful enough to deliver a complete range of protection -- from virus
blocking and intrusion detection and prevention, to network encryption,
content filtering and parental controls. A user simply plugs the device into
the PC's USB port to activate the security features.
The device does not require any additional hardware or software to be
installed on the PC. Built with convenience in mind, Everbee Secure is ideal
for businesses, mobile workers, students who access campus networks, and
consumers who want to safely access Internet services in their homes.
Everbee Secure provides application-level firewalls to allow protected
access to popular Internet services, including instant messaging, chat and
Internet gaming. It works with dial-up, cable modem, Ethernet, DSL, and Wi-Fi
networks on any desktop or laptop system. (A photo image and additional

"The recent proliferation of Internet security threats has made more
people aware of the significant role they play in helping to keep their PCs
and the world's networks protected," said Pierre Garnier, chairman and chief
executive officer of Everbee Networks. "Unlike software-based solutions,
Everbee Secure is something people can see and touch. We believe this physical
quality will prove to be popular with users and help them keep a strong focus
on PC security."
Garnier and his team publicly demonstrated the device for the first time
in the U.S. today in San Francisco at the RSA Conference, a major gathering of
security experts and professionals. An Everbee Secure reference design is
available now in two versions, one for families and one for professionals.
Addressing Security Threats in a New Way
Everbee Secure uses Everbee's patented xNSP(TM) silicon-based firewall
technology and innovative software from Everbee and selected partners to
address security threats in a new way. The company's researchers wanted to
enable anyone to securely access network resources anytime, anywhere --
without needing third-party intervention or vast technical know-how.
To that end, they took a "security at the gate" approach, which creates a
protection zone between the network and the PC through which all the data from
the network flows. Plugging in Everbee Secure opens the "gate" for legitimate
data and content while constantly monitoring and protecting the user from
threats.
"Traditional software-based security can sometimes be intimidating to
users given the configuring and updating required, and hardware-based
solutions that sit on the network usually require an IT professional or
consultant for set up," said Jay Morris, Everbee vice president, marketing.
"We wanted to give people the ability to access enterprise-quality security
that they can manage themselves through this portable, personal and
easy-to-set-up and -use device."
