ChainLink Web Halo

Protecting your investment on the Web

The ChainLink Halo is a plug-and-play network appliance that monitors all web traffic within a local area network. The hardware device consists of three core components that interoperate and can be distributed to provide maximum scalability. All components are managed through a single web interface.
