Firewall program for Home or Office
Protect your computers and personal information
A firewall in a car is a steel barrier
between the engine bay and the passenger compartment. If a fire breaks
out in the engine, the passengers are kept safe until the car stops and
they jump out.
In a computer a firewall prevents computers
outside your business or home computer system from seeing into your computer(s).
These days
firewalls are using in both directions to control the flow of internet
traffic out of and into an organisation's computers or a home computer.
With many threats intent on attempting access to any un-protected
computer, it's vitally important to secure the perimeter (traditional
firewall) of your organisation as well of control the flow of
information within your organisation.
Being online is fraught with dangers:
Internet worms, spyware agents, Trojan horses, hijackers and more can
wreak havoc, causing anything from slow performance to system crashes to
full-blown identity theft. And to provide you with the kind of
protection you need in these days of cyber thieves and online
extortionists, your firewall must be able to monitor all inbound and
outbound traffic and protect you from any unauthorized intrusion by
rendering your PC invisible to anything that you haven’t authorized to
see it.

development company committed to delivering and supporting high

NEW! Protection from spyware and identity theft
New anti-spyware capabilities built into the program protect your
computer against the rapidly increasing threats from spyware and ID
theft. Spyware cannot enter, activate on, or transmit information
out of computers protected by Outpost. The ID Block feature lets you
determine which specific items of personal information, for example
bank account numbers, are blocked from ever leaving the computer.
Even if you choose to disable your spyware protection during
PC-intensive tasks, you will still be protected as all new network
connections are proactively verified to be spyware-free.
Know what's happening on your PC at all times
Outpost’s Network Activity Monitor watches every
connection between your computer and the Internet, alerting you
immediately to any communications that may be unauthorized so you
can take appropriate action.
Automatic, intelligent protection against hacker attacks
Outpost’s Attack Detection automatically blocks
network probes, zombie attacks, and other remote attempts to access
your PC, using its continually-updated intrusion definitions
database.
Control how applications communicate
Outpost’s Component Control, Hidden Process
Control, and Open Memory Control let you decide what applications
and processes on your PC are allowed to do and what - if any-
outbound connections they may make. Spyware can’t phone home from an
Outpost-protected PC.
Understand the threats
Every time Outpost asks you for information
regarding action to be taken, Smart Advisor helps you to choose the
best course of action by displaying context-sensitive hints and live
advice. So you’ll never need to wonder whether you’ve made the right
security decision, and you’ll learn something new about firewall
security every time. The new ImproveNet service ensures you have
access to the latest application behavior rules, eliminating
unnecessary requests for action and automating the task of making
correct access decisions while maintaining the strongest possible
protection.
Agnitum's Outpost Pro software firewall program is
a small download that's easily installed and comes with safe default
settings. It does not ask a lot of complicated confusing questions
that professionals have trouble answering, let alone home users who
just want to get on with the job and who need and want to use the
internet for business and home use.
