Surf with security! Automatically disconnect your LAN while using a modem
Your modem is like a doorway to the outside world. But when a network modem is in use, you might as well invite every cybercreep out there to step inside and hack into your LAN. Sound risky? It is. But with the Black Box LAN-Safe Firewall, the bad guys will find the door to your network slammed shut. The LAN-Safe Firewall is an external hardware security device designed for PCs or servers that have both Ethernet NIC cards and modems. The LAN-Safe eliminates the risk of a hacker using an inbound or outbound modem connection to gain access to your corporate LAN. Although the LAN-Safe can be used at various points on the LAN, it's primarily used in smaller network environments without conventional firewalls and where one or more users access the Internet while their PC is connected to the LAN.
With the LAN-Safe installed, the LAN connection is physically broken while the modem session is in progress - and your network is effectively safeguarded from LAN damage or security breaches via unguarded Internet connections. Once the modem call is completed, the LAN-Safe automatically restores the link to the LAN. The LAN-Safe Firewall can also be used in other installations - even those with conventional firewalls that restrict access to high-priority servers while dialup modems are in use. It doesn't matter whether the server supports the modem connection or if it's an adjacent server - the LAN-Safe Firewall provides the extra protection your network needs. Installation is easy - no training or maintenance is required. Plus the LAN-Safe is powered from the telco line, so it can be used practically anywhere.
