Leave a comment

Enter NetGenie, a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.

Edison, NJ (USA), Monday – October 03, 201 — With kids and teens doing more and more of their Internet browsing on smartphones and tablets like the iPad, a software-based approach to monitoring and blocking Internet access to adult content or age-inappropriate websites will no longer work.

Enter NetGenie ( http://www.netgenie.net ), a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.

Developed by 12-year Internet security veteran Cyberoam, NetGenie is the first Wi-Fi router that comes pre-configured with parental controls and anti-virus.

NetGenie parental controls provide default settings according to age group, blocking websites and applications deemed inappropriate, yet allowing the administrator (mom or dad) to grant permissions by adding to a whitelist of allowed sites.

NetGenie offers parents a smart way for dealing with unruly Internet access and distractions, especially during homework time. Being a Wi-Fi router that plugs directly into the home’s cable modem, the device can control access to smartphones, gaming consoles and popular tablets such as the iPad and Android tablets.

Any device connected to the home’s Wi-Fi signal can be managed.

For example, parents can suspend Internet access per individual for an allocated date or block of time, say from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm Monday through Thursday, allowing free access Friday to Sunday if they so choose to.

NetGenie is also equipped with Internet security safeguards including a firewall, anti-virus protection, and intrusion prevention.

“We designed NetGenie to make it simple for families to protect their kids from unsafe and adult Internet content, and to control the time they spend online on social networks, shopping or gaming sites, or anything else you want to manage,” said Jacob Thankachen, Associate Vice President for Americas, Cyberoam. “We also made it a no-brainer to keep hackers, viruses and other intruders at bay when your family surfs the Internet.”

Additionally, the device can generate reports on Internet activities such as websites visited, applications used, attempts made to visit blocked websites or applications, along with virus and intrusion reports.

NetGenie can be configured using any Internet-access device in the home. Settings for individual members of the family can be made.

Pricing & Availability:
NetGenie is available now and will retail for $199 with support for an unlimited number of home users.A SOHO version is also available for $249. To buy NetGenie contact: Jacob Thankachen, Tel: (201) 301-2851. Jacob.thankachen@us.cyberoam.com. Or email: sales@netgenie.net.

Reports Show Targeted Computer Attacks Spike with Heavy SMB Focus

Leave a comment

According to a recent Symantec blog, attackers are targeting SMBs at a greater rate than larger companies of more than 500 people.

Hudson, NH (USA), Monday – October 03, 201 — According to a recent Symantec blog, attackers are targeting SMBs at a greater rate than larger companies of more than 500 people. Some other interesting facts from Symantec’s cloud research:

“The percentage of employees who received a targeted Trojan during 2010 was much higher for the SMB sector than for large companies. One small business, in particular, had targeted Trojans sent to all 488 of their employees. SMB industry sectors such as mineral/fuel, non-profit, engineering, marketing and recreation received the most attacks compared with other industry sectors, showing that they are at higher risk. They also found that attackers target intellectual property and market-leading research – focusing their efforts on education and market research organizations, in particular.”

Commtouch, a provider of antivirus technology to industry, is indicating in its blog that targeted emails with malicious attachments have increased dramatically since August to two billion or more per day. These are not emails with links to bogus or malicious websites, but attachments that may look like normal document files typical in business. These attacks are not spam but something far more sinister.

These targeted attacks are aimed at specific individuals in specific organizations, contain embedded malware, and are designed largely to capture credentials and gain access to valuable data. Much of this targeted email with malicious attachments bypasses antivirus and gateway protections. It lands squarely in a target’s inbox as legitimate email. The embedded malware is designed to be unique and unknown to anti-virus and anti-malware.

If you find yourself reading an email with an attachment that seems to be legitimate, think twice, it may not be. A targeted email attack often uses information about you to gain your trust. It will seem like a normal email.

So what do you do? Symantec’s blogger suggests that you “use common sense” and “be smart.” Your business associates send you data files that you open all of the time. The attacker will pose as one of them, but will bury a program inside. You can’t possibly know for sure, regardless of how much common sense you apply.

The new SavantEnforcer client will block malicious attachments automatically because it denies by default any unknown executable. It’s a simple and powerful antidote for the avalanche of targeted malware and it can be installed on a computer for about a dollar per month. Should you use common sense, good security practices and keep your software protection up to date? Of course you should. But you may also want to consider a solution that gives you the confidence to open an attachment without the risk of compromise.
