We constantly monitor the activity on your Internet connection. We'll spot attacks, monitor them to be sure they don't get in, and report them to various organizations so that people around the world know what to block. By cooperating with so many different groups and organizations we are able to provide updates to your security as other networks are attacked.

As The Box detects an attack with it's Intrusion Detection/Prevention system, it gathers information such as the origin of the attack, method of the attack and any details regarding the attack. It first verifies the attack was successfully blocked, then adds the origin of the attack to it's block lists so that further attempts from that location are automatically blocked.

Then that origin is sent to the various organizations and groups we cooperate with. Often times, the attack originates from some unsuspecting home user or business that doesn't even realize their system is being used to attack others!

In other words, The Box becomes your border patrol. We only let in what is absolutely necessary.

Organized Cyber Criminals Use Botnets to Target Businesses
Network security involves more than what a typical firewall can provide. Cyber-criminals use various tactics to slide past firewalls. Network security needs to look inside the traffic to properly identify it, block it and report it. Many of todays attacks are not previously known. This means that signature or pattern based security will not detect these attacks. You need pro-active security services.

Cybercriminals stepping up targeted attacks
Cyber-criminals need to "fly under the radar" of security systems. They know most small businesses only use basic security - a firewall and anti-virus software. This make you, the small business owner, subject to an indirect targeted attack. As the cyber-criminals scan the Internet looking for vulnerable systems, you're more likely to show up on their radar screens.
