Will my old Windows 98 Tower unit be suitable? Or is it underpowered?

What does the вЂњold PC in the cornerвЂќ actually have to be able to do?

But before downloading (and running) software, I do want to know a few things!

Searching your website seems to offer support for the full UTM (which looks like a combined software and hardware product). Now I know that your вЂњHomeвЂќ package makes you no money (but possibly pulls in corporate full price clients) and therefore you donвЂ™t want to supply costly support. The case for a home UTM seems pretty compelling but trying to find out more just takes me to a download page that wants personal details. I then use Norton (NIS) on the Windows machines and AVAST or Sophos on the tablet/phones.

I probably have fairly typical network access: modem/router on to ADSL, the router вЂњhas a firewallвЂќ, and I use WPA2-Personal, AES and a (painfully) long key вЂ“ with the SSID not broadcast.

I donвЂ™t fiddle with or comment on business security вЂ“ the IT guys tend to report you in cataclysmic terms to senior directors who then come down hard quoting вЂњMisuse of Computers Act, Gross Misconduct, and Summary DismissalвЂќ.Д«ut it does make me again feel a little insecure about what I am doing at home вЂ“ three computers (Win7/Linux), a tablet (android), a smart TV (probably Linux), and various phones (all android of varying versions).

OK so I have listened to an instructive advert вЂ“ which makes a compelling case both for business and for home use.

(Audio player above not working? Download, or listen on Soundcloud.) SoвЂ¦who better to help us to demystify the modern firewall than Sophos security expert Chester Wisniewski? Nowadays, we expect a firewall to provide us with more defence in greater depth, and we use the word to cover a lot more security bases than in the past. It stops spam getting out, which not only saves your from the corporate embarrassment of being flagged as a spammer, but also provides early warning that thereвЂ™s a rogue computer inside your network.Д¬learly, the word firewall has a lot more shades of meaning in 2014 than it did in 1994.Д«ack then, firewalls were mostly about IP numbers and ports, dealing with who could connect to whom, but not worrying about the when, the why or the how. It keeps out spam and phishing attempts, making it harder for crooks to use email to get a foothold inside your network. It gives you a reliable way to control remote access to your network, to prevent the sort of break-in that crooks have been using to implant malware called Backoff onto point-of-sale servers. WeвЂ™re very proud of the Sophos firewall, because it protects you in many ways.ДЇor example, it can stop hackers worming their way in via SQL injection, the sort of attack said to have allowed a Russian cybergang to build up a stash of more than one billion user records of various sorts.
