Yoggie has introduced the Firestick Pico, a small USB thumb drive device that acts as a personal firewall. The Firestick Pico is a small USB drive that is actually a 300MHz Linux computer that runs with an Xscale PXA270 CPU. Once inserted into your USB port it will offload the security onto the computer, the Pico comes with a license for the Kaspersky security suite.

A good idea for those in need of that extra protection while on-the-go, a firewall on a USB stick will not only give that needed protection but also save some CPU power as compared to running a software solution.

The Firestick Pico is currently available and retails for $119.
