PGP 5

by Veronica Hendricks

Offices with remote workers, SOHOs, or branch offices, if you're not already secure, now's the time to get secure. Just as technology allows some people to work from home and the road and files to be transferred hundreds of miles away in a matter of seconds, technology is allowing people to crack into your corporate network. Now why would you sit there and let something like that happen?

PGP 5

Stop or reduce the chances of network hacking now with the PGP 5. Part of PGP Security's family of e-ppliances, the PGP 5 is specifically made for networks with five or fewer users. It comes with firewall, VPN, and encryption capabilities, so your chances of getting hacked are greatly reduced. For general Internet protection, the PGP 5 has Internet content filtering and PKI and digital certificate authentication capabilities. And since it is part of the McAfee business unit, you get an automatic option to purchase McAfee virus scanning capabilities.

If installing and setting up security devices has you nervous, relax. The PGP 5 has a Web-based management tool that you can use to manage and monitor multiple PGP e-ppliances in several different locales and a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) to work with. And as for physically hooking the device up, there is only one 10/100 Base T interface for you to worry about.

The PGP 5 runs on a 133 MHz processor and is set up with 8 MB RAM, 4 MB flash, and 128 KB ROM. The PGP 5 measures 8 x 4.25 x 1.5 inches and weighs one pound.

Pricing and Availability

The PGP 5 is currently available for $595.
