Your broadband line connects you to the world, but it also has the side effect of connecting the world to you. That's why many people choose to install a firewall. SofaWare Technologies just unveiled its new SofaWare S-box, a security appliance for home office and general home computer Internet security that's priced under $300. The SofaWare S-box runs Check Point-based Safe@Home software and can be deployed in homes with DSL or cable Internet access. The 4-port 10/100 compatible gadget integrates optional URL filtering and email anti-virus protection and Check Point says it can be installed in 5 minutes by non-technical users (hope they've got good tech support). Versions of the S-box will integrate into Check Point's enterprise security infrastructure for small remote office environments, and will be licensed to multiple home networking/appliance vendors.
