Open Door Networks updates ...
Amid recent concerns about Leopard's security, Open Door Networks today announced several updates for its various internet security products, bringing compatibility with Apple's new operating system. DoorStop X Firewall and Who's There? Firewall Advisor have reached version 2.2, and Open Door Networks updated the eBook Internet Security for your Macintosh: A Guide for the Rest of Us , introducing Leopard security tips, and issues with other products, like the iPhone and Apple TV. All three internet security products are available separately, or together as a suite for $80.

DoorStop X ($50) is designed to be used instead of the built in Mac OS firewall, eliminating Apple's all-or-nothing approach. Tuned for mobility, DoorStop X lets you define "locations", which provide different tiers of protection based on the type of network (ex. home, work, or public). Who's There? Firewall Advisor ($40) is designed to provide a specific, searchable log that can be used with Apple's built in protection or in conjunction with DoorStop X. As previously mentioned, Internet Security for your Macintosh: A Guide for the Rest of Us ($10) includes a new section for Leopard users, the eBook is written to interact with the Open Door Networks' internet security programs and online blog.
