The Gadget Show has named it’s top three gadgets of the year, and while there are no surprises for the top two spots (the iPhone and the Wii Fit), the number-three place went to the interestingly-titled Yoggie Gatekeeper Pico.
It may sound like a character that you might find in a Super Mario game, but the Gatekeeper Pico has wowed fans of The Gadget Show with its ability to pack in no fewer than 12 security functions into a single Branded USB storage device.
Essentially, it allows users to carry around a computer complete with processor and operating system in their pocket. Its small and sleek design hides some of the best security applications available on the market today, including Mailshell, Snort, and Kaspersky, meaning users can protect themselves wherever they go.
The aim is that it is then simply plugged into a PC or laptop, and instantly provides the user with the ability to enter “stealth mode” to hide it from hackers, as well as protecting it from known and unknown attacks, providing easy installation, and even boosting performance.
It has a number of security products included such as anti-spam, anti-phishing, intrusion prevention, and parental control software to name but a few, meaning for its size, this is one device that is going to take some beating if the hackers out there are set on causing mayhem with your files.
Yoggie Security Systems have obviously been delighted with the success of their new toy, and the CEO, Shlomo Touboul, stated that “Over the last two years we have experienced tremendous consumer interest in our products, and based on user feedback and on our own R&D we will continue to innovate and develop new products in 2009.”
But if you own a Mac and are fretting that this top gadget is not going to be available for you, don’t panic. Yoggie also recently released the Gatekeeper Pico for Mac and Gatekeeper Card Pro for Mac. So now everyone can be happy and secure together. Brilliant.
