"Network
Box" Network Security Appliance
Submitted by
Network Box Corporation Ltd |
|
Providing leading-edge computer network security
at a fraction of the cost of competing systems,
the Network Box Corporation Ltd has packaged a number
of highly complex network security systems into
a single remotely managed and updatable network
protection device - its "Network Box". |
|
 Based
on a security-hardened version of the Linux operating
system, this pioneering product offers maximum reliability,
unparalleled cost-effectiveness and total transparency
- right down to the source code.
More than 300,000 lines of code written by the all-Hong
Kong development team have gone into the creation
of the software. This code is tightly integrated
with the AMD hardware platform and several commercial
software engines, as well as with modular code produced
by Network Box distributors around the world.
 The
social and economic benefits of this low-cost protection
against the increasingly invidious threats to organizations
with always-on connections are plain to see. The
success of the product is well demonstrated by the
rapid growth of a network of international distributors
and its adoption by a large number of international
enterprises and national governments.
