The Clash of Packages, Security Software Mismatch
Computers connected to the Internet are always at risk from malicious attacks for multiple purposes. While large enterprises have access to full-time staff and large network appliances providing 24x7 security protection, owners of Small Offices & Home Offices (SOHO) also need strong network security. In addition, even enterprises put their networks at risk when mobile employees connect their laptops to networks from outside the safety of the corporate network.
Second, there are many “layers” in networking, from the physical cables used to send information up to the high level applications such as email tools, and each layer needs to have specific protections to ensure robust security for home networks. Therefore, individual computers can have multiple security packages loaded. The software can conflict with each other, causing operating system errors. Some areas of protection will be checked by multiple packages, wasting CPU cycles on redundancy, while other critical security issues might be missed by all loaded packages. The result is a clash of security packages, resulting in poor PC performance without guaranteeing truly complete protection against network threats.
For laptops, a similar USB device traps all incoming communications before it reaches the operating system. The result is the same as with a network device — the separation of security from the physical laptop.
The devices simplify installation, updating and management of computing security. They also increase PC performance by removing high resource demand security applications and putting them on an appliance dedicated to and optimized for security applications
For home computer networks, parental control also becomes much easier. From a single computer, the control applications can be accessed and managed, and then the settings are active for all computers on the network without intruding upon a child’s computer.

Protecting Individual PCs Is Complex
Many businesses and home owners try to protect computers by putting security software on the local computers. That has a number of challenges. First, the software can be complex to install and maintain, and keeping security working and synchronized on multiple computers adds to both complexity and costs.Second, there are many “layers” in networking, from the physical cables used to send information up to the high level applications such as email tools, and each layer needs to have specific protections to ensure robust security for home networks.

Protect the Complete Computer
For all of those reasons, many small business owners are moving to network security protection, using a small computing device to provide security for the entire network, and all its levels, from a single place. The use of modern Flash Memory technology and Linux operating systems custom designed for security have provided for the creation of such devices that provide enterprise-level security for small networks at an affordable price. The result is a single, integrated set of security components that protects a complete small network and individual computers without gaps and without clashes between software.For laptops, a similar USB device traps all incoming communications before it reaches the operating system.
