  • Shlomo Touboul, CEO and Founder of Yoggie Security Systems said, “The growing threat from Internet borne attacks to computing devices and the negative user experience with heavy software security suites, that unacceptably slow their computers, has led us to develop the Yoggie Pico series. Now users can offload security tools from their computer to the Yoggie Pico and regain their application performances while trusting the highest security level provided by Yoggie Pico. This breakthrough concept of offloading and separating offers users the best of both worlds – in terms of both security and performance. We believe the Yoggie Pico will significantly change the computing security market. The success and market uptake of the Yoggie Gatekeeper technologies strengthened our conviction that the market is ready for our appliances and users are looking to protect data simply, cost effectively and without affecting performance, whether in the home, on the road or in the office.”
