ELI Introduces Version 2.0 of its Professionally Managed Broadband Security Appliance for Home and Small Business Users7 December 2005
ELI, an innovative provider of the first professionally managed, all-in-one broadband security appliance for the home, today announced version 2.0 of the product, adding powerful anti-spyware, anti-malware, anti-phishing, privacy protection features and usability enhancements.
"As a security professional, I was shocked at the limited options available for securing home computer networks," said Susan Lutz, CEO at ELI. "To provide the level of protection I wanted in my own home and for my own daughter, meant that I would need to purchase, configure, update and maintain a variety of software and devices. As a busy executive and mother, I was overwhelmed by the complexity involved -- and I work in the industry! I knew that I was not alone in my search for an all-in-one, worry-free security solution for the home, and that was the point when the vision for ELI was born. With the introduction of Eli version 2.0, we continue to provide home broadband users with the most comprehensive, enterprise-grade security available today."
Recent studies show that an overwhelming majority of U.S. home networks lack sufficient protection from potential threats. Analysts have also noted that through 2006, 70 percent of successful attacks on home wireless networks will result from improperly configured WLAN access points and/or mismanaged client software.
"In this complicated world of potential Internet attacks, home computer users should not be expected to have the same level of skills and knowledge of enterprise security professionals, nor should busy individuals be expected to invest countless hours managing computer security," said Robert Smith, CTO at ELI. "With Eli version 2.0, help has arrived to combat all of these security threats. Consumers can trust that they are protected and may spend their time on more enjoyable activities instead of maintaining and updating computer security, or recovering from security breaches."
The Eli appliance combines a full-featured firewall, DSL modem, wireless connectivity and a 4-port Ethernet switch with anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, anti-malware, anti-phishing, content filtering and parental controls in a single, affordable, fully-managed appliance. With Eli, busy individuals and families can be comfortable in knowing that their home networks are continuously protected. Eli is easy to set up, and there are no security patches or software updates to install because Eli automatically uploads new virus definitions, known spammer blacklists and objectionable Web sites at least thirty times per day. Filtering and blocking can be easily customized according to individual preferences via a Web browser.
New Features in Version 2.0:
Spyware Protection -- Automatically updated at least 26 times per day, Eli's anti-spyware features rigorously prevent the introduction of spyware that can allow hackers to monitor computer activity or collect private information from the system.
Malware Protection -- Provides thorough protection against malware that may modify computer settings, take control of the computer, or perform other deceptive practices. This information is automatically updated at least 26 times per day.
Phishing Protection -- Protects against fraudulent Web schemes designed to capture sensitive data such as banking passwords, credit card numbers and pin numbers. Eli's Phishing Protection is automatically updated at least 26 times per day to filter and block phishing attacks and prevent access to all known phishing websites.
Privacy Protection -- Protects against the transmission of personal and user information to sites uniquely used by spyware, and those containing serious privacy issues. The Privacy Protection feature also blocks those sites that make extensive use of tracking cookies without a posted privacy statement.
New URL Filtering Categories -- Additional content filtering categories include Peer-to-Peer, Hacking, Open Multimedia Searches, Proxy Avoidance, Streaming Media and Phishing.
Setting and Configuration Enhancements -- Provides users with improved usability and flexibility in defining settings.
