Outpost Security Suite Pro defends desktops, notebooks against malware, spam,identity theft, and other Internet threats
ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, 2 May 2007 -- The security experts at Agnitum todaydelivered battle-hardened protection against malware, spam, identity theft and otherInternet-borne threats to home and small-business Windows users.
Available now, Outpost Security Suite Pro (OSS) is comprehensive, proactive securitythat combines in a single product the companyÂ's acclaimed personal firewall, aninnovative all-in-one anti-malware engine, intelligent spam filter, tools to preventunauthorized program interactivity, and self-protection protocols that blockattempts by malware to bypass or shut down the program.
 OSS provides the robust security that users expect from Agnitum, said MikhailPenkovsky, global vice-president for Marketing and Sales.  This is not just anothersecurity suite. Our broad-based proactive protection, built around one of theworldÂ's most advanced personal firewalls, delivers efficient, low-impact protectionfor all users, no matter what their level of experience.Â
The suite builds on AgnitumÂ's Outpost Firewall Pro, an award-winning personalfirewall that protects more than a million users worldwide and, according to PCMagazine (27 Nov. 2006), Â is tough enough to resist any attack.Â
Over the years, Outpost Firewall Pro has added anti-spyware, identity theftprotection and leak prevention, as well as the innovative community-based ImproveNetservice, which provides users with tested and ready-to-use configuration rules thatreflect real-world application installations.
With OSS, Agnitum introduces a unified anti-malware engine and SmartScantechnologies, which speed the scanning of NTFS and FAT32 for malware by tracking newfiles and files that are modified, enabling users to scan just these changed or newfiles, not the entire system. Agnitum engineers integrated the unified anti-malwareengine into OSS leveraging anti-virus technology licensed from VirusBuster, aHungarian anti-virus developer that consistently achieves 100 percent certificationsfrom Virus Bulletin.
Key benefits of this integrated, proactive approach to security include:
- Pre-emptive protection. Prevention is always more efficient than after-the-attackcures. OutpostÂ's inter-application behavior monitoring maximizes the likelihood thatmalware and other threats will be stopped before they can get onto the PC andactivate. The unique host protection detects and stops unauthorized activity,preventing new attacks and blocking threats at the earliest possible stage.
- Unified anti-malware. Instead of overloading the system with multiple scanningengines, OutpostÂ's anti-malware module combines anti-spyware and anti-virus in thesame process to deliver low-impact, high-speed, easy-to-use scanning.
- Self-protection. Outpost Security Suite Pro detects if any application isattempting to interfere with its own operations. This prevents protection from beingdeactivated or otherwise disabled by malware.
- Usability. Robust security doesnÂ't need to mean complexity of operation. OutpostÂ'sflexible interface offers a wealth of options for advanced users to configure, butthe out-of-the-box settings provide high levels of automated protection for a rangeof users, no matter how technically proficient.
