Linux Makes Windows Super Secure
Filed in archive Peripherals by Eric Hanson on January 20, 2007

An Israeli security company called Yoggie has a solution: the Gatekeeper. A small box that hooks into an Ethernet connection between your computer and the wall, the Gatekeeper runs an especially secure version of Linux that's meant to stop any and all attacks through the connection. According Yoggie's CEO, as reported on LinuxDevices, the Gatekeeper stopped "125,077 security threats
, 16,827 attempts to break its firewall rules, 100,898 intrusion attempts, and thousands of viruses and spyware attacks, including hundreds of new attacks not listed in current anti-virus signatures" all before they hit the computer. Of course, that doesn't list the number of false positives or attacks that *did* get through, but it's an impressive set of figures none-the-less. The Gatekeeper is available from Yoggie for $220.Via LinuxDevices.com
