FirewallsOutpost Network Security proactively protects small and medium-sized businesses from inbound and outbound threats, safeguarding the network and keeping workstations healthy.

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.
Key Benefits:
* Client Anti-Spyware - Proactive protection prevents zero-day infections
Outpost makes sure no spyware can enter the network with its multi-point defenses. The live monitor prevents spyware from activating on workstations and automatically removes any trace of spyware to restore workstations to full operational health. The on-demand scanner runs quick or in-depth spyware checks according to your schedule to ensure workstations stay spyware-free.
* Managed Firewall - Powerful firewall protection against multiple threats
Encompassing a robust intrusion detection system, packet- and application-level filtering, embedded code protection tools and unique Ethernet data security, Outpost Network Security is the ultimate deterrent against all manner of Internet-borne attacks and intrusions. Advanced connection rules and custom configurations provide the most flexible protection available today.
* Information Theft Prevention - Make sure confidential information never leaves the workstation
Outpost’s unique information protection capability lets users define character strings – like bank account numbers or insurance policy information – and lock that information down so that it can never be transmitted off the workstation.
* Effortless Administration - Centralized management and deployment minimizes IT workload
Outpost Network Security protection can be rolled out to all or selected workstations in no time, and event logs filtered and reviewed centrally. Group policy management gives administrators the flexibility to assign specific configurations to selected groups of users, depending on vulnerability, and those configurations can be changed at any time without requiring workstation reboots.
* Fast and Easy Updates - Centrally-managed and automatically deployed for up-to-date protection
The Agnitum Update Service lets administrators download a single client network security update package and install it across multiple workstations, cutting down on bandwidth and administrator time. Daily updates of spyware signatures ensures endpoints stay current with the latest protection.
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.
