Guard your systems from network parasites with the WolfPac Security Suite - Top Technology Showcase

PSINet Europe, a leading provider of corporate IP-based communication services, recently conducted a little experiment: To prove the importance of network security, it set up an anonymous "dummy server" containing no data and no public profile. Within 24 hours it was attacked 467 times. This large number reflects the fact that computer hacking is no longer just a hobby for computer geeks--it is now a full-time job. Network professionals need to be aware of this growing problem and learn to protect themselves from uninvited guests.

NetWolves' latest offering is designed to prevent system robbery. It acts as a hacker's kryptornte making your servers secure from outside intrusions. The Security Suite acts as a link between large companies and remote offices or as a single gateway for small-to-medium size businesses. It provides companies with an option for shielding their intellectual property from information thievery.

The suite comes in two platforms: the WolfPac 2020 and the WolfPac 3020. They both come equipped with three Ethernet 10/100 interface cards for WAN, LAN and DMZ connections. The security suite is offered with either a 600MHz or 900MHz processor, 20- to 100GB hard drive, and up to 1,024MB of RAM.
