SiteCom adds Cloud Computing Security as option to consumer routers

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/19/2011 05:52 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)

Dutch based network specialist SiteCom, selling predominantly in Europe, is launching a new range of routers. The routers will be tagged under the X-series 2.0 and get 6 models labeled X1 to X6 (being the most high-end.

Next to being an easy to use high-throughput series router with the X4, X5 and X6 being the gigabit versions and that X6 having 450Mbit wireless Ethernet. There is one new feature that is rather interesting on the three gigabit routers though.

SiteCom teamed up with a popular anti-virus firm to design a new layer of protection against Malware and viruses on all your network connected components. Added software in the router will function as active packet inspection on port 80, according to SiteCom without any noticeable increased lag. Port 80 data packets are inspected based on signatures and then verified on a cloud based solution located in a EU datafarm. Pretty much in-between the router and cloud farm a proxy is active, scanning all content and webpages and downloadable content for malware, viruses and phishing.

The interesting idea here is that all devices within the network (PC, NAS even your Android phone) get an extra security layer, once something fishy is detected the request will not pass onwards to your PC, instead your browser will get a warning screen.

Should by any chance a zero-day vulnerability still get through you will need Anti-virus software on your PC to remove it, but look at the solution as an extra firewall surrounding all devices connected in your network.

The SiteCom Cloud Security feature will be free for 6 months, after which a subscription is required at the cost of 14.95 EUR per year. The most expensive X6 router will cost roughly 120 EUR.
