What the heck is a Yoggie?
I’m glad you asked. I was introduced to Yoggie by my friend Jeff at Gentek, around the corner in Concord, Ontario.
Yoggie is a security tool for a computer – designed primarily for corporate users of laptops – that keep them secure when on the road. I think Yoggie can be useful for home users as well.
Once loaded, the computer will not connect to the internet without going through the Yoggie device – an off-board processor to physically separate security functions from the rest of the machine, including its Layer 8 Security Engine, protecting the machine from unknown attacks, spyware, etc.
There are two versions – USB and in-line – and the Yoggie can be used as a device to physically limit kids access to the internet; just remove the Yoggie and the computer is isolated – it simply won’t connect to the internet. When it is plugged in, Yoggie provides a safer surfing environment.
For anyone who has found that their software-based virus protection is killing processing power of their computer, Yoggie may also be a solution.
I sense we’ll be seeing more about Yoggie.
