Internet Security Systems pulled out all of the stops Tuesday as it introduced the first in a new line of security appliances that simultaneously blocks viruses, malicious intrusions, worms and other threats to the well-being of a company's IT infrastructure.

At the launch event, ... George Gilder described the need for a unified approach to security, rather than an amalgam of stand-alone products.

Gilder: "When industry gives customers everything they could possibly need, then modularity is desirable. But when customers' needs are a long way from being met, then modularity is a problem."
