Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0
|
Outpost Firewall Pro, provides
a superior arsenal of defense against PC infiltration by denying
unauthorized access by remote hackers and protecting against data
theft, denial-of-service attacks, privacy violation, Trojan horses,
spyware and more. Four major criteria define Outpost Firewall Pro:
security, control, privacy and ease of use. |
Outpost Firewall PRO Benefits
- Best-in-class ID-theft protection
Outpost Firewall Pro will detect and prevent (using the most effective
data leak prevention technology available) malicious applications
from trying to transmit data out of your PC. The security of that
information is assured.
- Advanced protection against network attacks
Outpost Firewall Pro detects and prevents any attempted hack attacks
from outside the network.
- 360-degree protection against spyware
Outpost Firewall Pro detects all attempts by spyware to activate;
instead, spyware is instantly removed from the PC.
- Automatic detection and configuration updates for optimum security
With Outpost 4.0 you receive ImproveNet updates for the whole license
period that include secure firewall settings and rules - meaning with
ImproveNet you will get much less prompts from the firewall as it
will be always up-to-date when it comes to deciding what to do.
- Self-protection against malicious software
Outpost Firewall Pro protects itself from being terminated by malware.
Outpost Personal Firewall PRO Features
Security
- Detects all types of hacker attacks
The powerful Intrusion Detection System (IDS) built into Outpost protects
your PC from both known and unknown types of hacker attacks. It screens
inbound data and determines its legitimacy, either by comparing it
against a set of known attack fingerprints or by performing behavior
evaluation analysis.
- Protects all types of network connectivity
Outpost's Ethernet protection module protects network packets in transit
— like chat sessions — from being hijacked. Such attacks
can also disable or disrupt network connections and steal WiFi connectivity,
so Outpost blocks any interference with network connectivity.
- Defeats all types of spyware infections
Outpost's Anti-Spyware module safeguards PCs against spyware infection
and the loss of confidential information. Spyware is blocked at every
possible stage — installation, activation, transmission of information
and re-installation. Outpost's active spyware monitor makes sure no
spyware can activate on your PC, by monitoring critical areas of the
system and keeping them clean. The on-demand scanner scours the system
for traces of deactivated spyware and erases them completely. Even
if you disable active spyware protection during processor-intensive
tasks like online games, new network connections are proactively verified
in the background to be spyware-free before being allowed to proceed.
- Prevents all types of data theft
Outpost's comprehensive Anti-Leak function constantly monitors how
your applications interact with one another, preventing malware programs
from controlling trusted applications and accessing the network on
their behalf. Anti-Leak protection guards against dozens of malware
techniques designed to sneak personal data past the firewall's outbound
sensors. And even if malware finds its way onto the system, it won't
be able to transfer any data out of the network because the ID block
function lets you define and lock down blocks of text, preventing
them from being removed from the machine by any electronic means —
IM, web access or email correspondence.
- Attachment quarantine
Attachment Quarantine protects you from the threat posed by accidentally
opening email attachments that may contain viruses, worms or other
malware and lets you customize which types of attachments Outpost
should block.
Control
- Network activity monitoring
Outpost's Network Activity Monitor shows every connection your PC
makes with other computers on the Internet or local network, so you
can see what's happening on your PC all the time and quickly block
unauthorized connections.
- Event logging
The Log Viewer provides a detailed and complete history of computer
activity, enabling you to review what's happened on a computer in
the past or pinpoint a problem early on and correct it. Customized
logging ensures you get only the information you want from Outpost,
disregarding repetitive or irrelevant events. You can even configure
exclusions for certain types of communications, such as NetBIOS or
P2P traffic.
- Self-protection
Today's malware frequently seeks to shut down security software to
simplify its infection process. Outpost 4.0 incorporates protection
for all its components, making it impossible for anyone except the
authorized user to disable or close Outpost protection.
- Packet/Application filtering
By implementing process-based data filtering, Outpost serves as a
virtual checkpoint for incoming and outgoing application data. Based
on certain common attributes or according to specific user instructions,
it automatically configures how each particular application communicates
over the LAN or the Internet. Through the use of these application
access rules, any unauthorized program can easily be denied Internet
access if the circumstances warrant it. Packet filtering is a lower-level
filtering technique that lets you select which protocols, ports and
remote addresses are allowed to be accessed from your PC.
- Adaptive firewall rules
Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 includes macro definitions for applications,
which enable you to manually define security rules for individual
applications and Windows-based services. For example, you can now
choose to limit DNS requests to the list of DNS services built into
the network adaptor. If DNS is trying to reach an unlisted DNS server,
you will be prompted to allow or block this action.
- Support for 64-bit Windows
Outpost Firewall Pro now supports Windows XP 64-bit Edition and is
fully compatible with the hardware and software environments of 64-bit
computing.
Privacy
- Identity shield
By customizing blocks of cookie files and external referral URLs,
you can maintain a high level of privacy when you visit unfamiliar
sites while still allowing trusted sites controlled access to personal
information.
- Faster, cleaner surfing
Outpost Firewall Pro lets you limit the elements displayed on web
pages, providing content control and faster page displays. You can
define the sites that are permitted (or not permitted) to display
images, rotate advertising or deliver pop-ups. In this way, any type
of unwanted graphical or multimedia content can be restricted.
- Port stealthing
Being visible on the Internet is good only when whoever 'sees' your
computer is authorized to do so. Outpost makes sure that your computer
is hidden from unauthorized outsiders, protecting it against network
probes and attempts to establish unauthorized communication channels.
- Content management
The built-in Content Management module lets you compile a list of
words and phrases blocked from being displayed on web sites —
a particularly valuable feature for parents who do not want their
children exposed to inappropriate content.
