Introducing Outpost Network Security 2.0

Outpost Network Security is a centrally-managed security solution designed to protect networked computers against a wide range of inbound and outbound threats. Outpost Network Security addresses key data security concerns faced by businesses today by providing a powerful, easy-to-manage solution to defend network endpoints.

Originally titled Outpost Office Firewall, the product has been completely overhauled: it now provides anti-spyware and data theft protection in addition to the comprehensive intrusion prevention you’ve come to expect from Agnitum’s award-winning firewall. All of this takes endpoint protection to a new level.

A winning combination of anti-spyware and firewall, Outpost Network Security 2.0 is specially designed to cater to the needs of SMB organizations, offering simplicity, adaptability and optimum value to under-resourced IT staff.

Here’s what’s new in Outpost Network Security 2.0:

Network anti-spyware protection

By adding a powerful anti-spyware module that combines proactive monitoring and an on-demand scanner, Outpost now reliably protects endpoints against spyware. Any spyware that gets onto a client – such as a salesperson’s laptop – is effectively contained. It is prevented from phoning home confidential corporate data when the laptop is reconnected to the network and from hopping across network connections to infect other clients. No spyware also minimizes the number of popup ads and other temptations faced by users when they’re on the web, so you’ll also benefit from improved productivity. Proactive spyware monitoring protects the integrity of corporate assets and reduces helpdesk calls, making a positive contribution to the bottom line.

Targeted information protection

Another benefit of Outpost Network Security 2.0 is targeted information protection. Simply identify blocks of text or character strings (such as passwords, confidential financial information, or employee identification information) and that data is prevented from ever leaving the network.

Flexible configuration for different user groups

The addition of group support gives administrators extra flexibility in managing their endpoints by assigning specific configurations to selected user groups. This enables IT to designate customized network access policies for specific groups depending on risk and exposure levels – for example, sales laptops will likely require stricter protection than accounting’s desktops.

An even tougher firewall

Incorporating the award-winning Outpost Firewall Pro 3.5 engine, Outpost Network Security delivers reliable, high performance, easy-to-use protection against known and unknown network attacks, spoofing, and network-level disruption.

By installing the all-inclusive Outpost Network Security protection, you can safeguard your network against today’s security challenges without sacrificing your budget – you get comprehensive endpoint protection for just $35 per seat or less, depending on license size.
