They’re here

 

They’re here, as promised! As of today, we’re shipping a major set of upgrades to our DoorStop line of Macintosh Internet security products. As you can imagine, we’ve got a lot to talk about, and don’t entirely know where to begin.


Beginning at the beginning, we’re upgrading all the products to version 2.3. From the full DoorStop X Security Suite, to its individual components (DoorStop X Firewall, Who’s There? Firewall Advisor, ISFYM eBook), to this blog.


Version 2.3 focuses on the two biggest events in the Macintosh world since the previous major release (almost two years ago!): Snow Leopard and the iPhone. All 2.3 products specifically support Snow Leopard (10.6) in two different ways: (1) they run and are fully compatible with that OS, and (2) their built-in information and advice, including the eBook, have been fully updated for Snow Leopard.


All products also support the iPhone (and iPod touch) in sense (2). That is, they provide iPhone-focused information and advice about keeping you, your Mac, and your iPhone secure on the Internet. In fact the eBook, and even this blog, have been renamed to include “and iPhone” in their title. The book integrates the iPhone throughout, and also adds a full new chapter on iPhone-specific Internet security issues.


There’s lots more to talk about too. For instance we’re adding a Twitter stream to the product line, for cases where even this blog isn’t real-time enough. As with all the products, its focus will be on securing you, your Mac and your iPhone on the Internet. We’ll certainly be talking a lot more about that here soon. For now please just check it out and start to “follow” us there if you’d like.


Other specific features are being added to each of the products as well. All-in-all, we’re very happy with the new releases, and hope you will be too. There are of course free, fully functional 30-day evaluation versions available on our Web site, and special upgrade pricing for anyone who purchased any of the products this year.


Finally, there are some currently unannounced surprises to come too (what would an announced surprise be anyway?). Think iPhone apps :) So if you don’t have any other reason to stay tuned to this blog (and to follow the Twitter stream), there’s a good one for you.


Talk to you again soon.
