Introducing the Gatekeeper Card Pro
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 by Shlomo TouboulDear friends,
It’s been a while, but was well worth the wait. The biggest news from Yoggie this month is the announcement of the Gatekeeper Card Pro.
The Gatekeeper Card Pro is what the entire Yoggie team has been working very hard on for the last few months and it is very exciting for me to finally be able to offer this revolutionary new concept to the world.
The Gatekeeper Pico was introduced last year and immediately enjoyed a lot of attention, the concept being so revolutionary yet simple to understand: Having a dedicated Linux-powered miniature computer protecting your Windows computer from the outside. This provides our users with better security, better computer performance all in a very complete and easy-to-use package.
And now Yoggie introduces the Gatekeeper Card Pro which simply slides into your laptop’s ExpressCard slot and you don’t even see any physical change in your laptop whatsoever.
With the Gatekeeper Card Pro Yoggie now actually offers a practically invisible security min-computer inside your computer that protects you at all times.
Yoggie is already offering to pre-order the Gatekeeper Card Pro today and get it immediately when it is available next month for a special price.
And by the way, Yoggie has announced this exciting new product, as well as the opportunity to pre-order, in the Yoggie Newsletter which already has thousands of subscribers. I invite you to join our newsletter in order to periodically receive concentrated updates on new products, new version updates and other interesting Yoggie news.
That’s all for today- As always, I look forward to receiving your comments and questions.
Yours truly,
Shlomo.

Hi
I hav e been contemplating purchasing a gatekeeper pico for some weeks now following a review on a UK television channel 5 programme called “The Gadget Show”. Having read several reviews written by users in the uk a couple of questions.
Here is one reviewer’s comments
“it doesnt provide protection from viruses that come through memory sticks or other mediums such as disks so if you need to plug in different devices and transfer information using usb i suggest you purchase a protected usb stick or use the included kapersky antivirus software. I installed kapersky onto my pc and leave it switched off most of the time only turning it on when i plug in a usb ive used on another computer. The rest of the time i rely solely on the yoggie and my cumputer is much faster than its ever been”
Q1 is it true about not covering plug-ins such as memory sticks ? Also, if I link to my work network via the usual cable link will it protect me still ?
Q2 Is there a problem with Vista or SP3 on earlier MS operating systems ?
Q3 for a non computer dummy like me !! What’s the difference between Pico and Pico Pro - in english for non geeks please !!
Q4 - When will the “gatekeeper card pro” be avaialble in the UK and through what outlet ?
Cheers
Ade

Dear Ade,
Thank you for your interest in our products and for the great questions you’ve asked.
Q1 is it true about not covering plug-ins such as memory sticks? Also, if I link to my work network via the usual cable link will it protect me still ?
Answer: As for not providing security for removable drives such as USB storage (memory sticks) and CDs, that is correct. The Gatekeeper device is the best Internet security product, but it does not scan your peripherals. However, every product is bundled with a full Windows software Kaspersky Anti-Virus package, as a complimentary bonus, that you can choose to install. This way you can also have traditional lightweight AV running on your computer scanning peripherals and enjoy the best possible security.
Q2 Is there a problem with Vista or SP3 on earlier MS operating systems?
Answer: Yoggie products provide full support for Windows Vista, including SP1 and Windows XP, including SP2 and SP3.
Q3 for a non computer dummy like me!! What’s the difference between Pico and Pico Pro - in English for non geeks please !!
Answer: There are 2 simple differences – The Pro version adds a VPN client and the ability to be remotely and centrally managed by a corporate Yoggie Management Server.
Q4 - When will the “Gatekeeper Card Pro” be available in the UK and through what outlet?
Answer: The Gatekeeper Card Pro is already available and sold. You can buy it through our own E-Store at http://www.yoggie.com/e-store or buy from one of our resellers – See a partial list at http://www.yoggie.com/retailers.
I hope I provided the answers you were looking for, enjoy your new Yoggie product!
Cheers,
Shlomo
