Barbados, April 1st, 2006 - freedom9 today announces the newest addition to its product portfolio, the freeGuard 100, a firewall product to help the small and medium businesses secure and protect their company information.

The freeGuard 100 is a hardware-based antivirus firewall network protection solution which delivers complete, real-time network protection services at the network edge. Every business is susceptible to internal and external factors which could corrupt its data. freedom9’s freeGuard 100 is a solution which is affordable and easy to install and use, enabling all small to medium businesses to acquire a firewall and secure their network. The freeGuard 100 can detect and eliminate viruses, worms, and other content-based threats without reducing network performance – even for real-time applications like Web browsing.

freedom9 understands the challenges that small and medium businesses are faced with. In most cases, one of the reasons why SMB organizations don’t have security solutions in place today is due to their complexity and lack of internal resources. "I believe that every business, large or small, should be able to have access to the latest technology to remain competitive. At freedom9, we strive to bring to market solutions where the complexities have been removed, and at a price which is accessible to the small and medium business market." Said Scott Barrett, President and CEO of freedom9. "The freeGuard 100 is affordable and easy to use. But should any organization require support, freedom9 has an experienced pre-sales team to explore the right solution for each business and a post- sales team to provide technical support. We fully stand behind our product offering."
