Comodo Firewall 5...

Comodo's award-winning firewall provides users with prevention-based PC protection that slams the door shut on viruses, malware, and hackers.

Comodo Firewall introduces the next evolution in computer security: Default Deny Protection (DDP). What is DDP? Most security programs maintain a list of known malware, and use that list to decide which applications and files shouldn't access a PC. The problem here is obvious. What if the list of malware is missing some entries, or isn't up to date? DDP fixes this problem to ensure complete security. The firewall references a list of over two million known PC-friendly applications. If a file that is not on this safe-list knocks on your PC's door, the Firewall immediately alerts you to the possibility of attacking malware. All this occurs before the malware infects your computer. It's prevention-based security, the only way to keep PCs totally safe.

Firewall is a component of Comodo Internet Security 2011, which comes bundled with Comodo Antivirus. You have the option to only install Firewall if you prefer. Firewall is also a part of Comodo Internet Security Pro 2011, which gives you the most robust defense and inlcudes other components like WiFi security, live 24/7 expert assistance for numerous computing needs.

Firewall Features:

  • Easily understood and informative alerts
  • No complex configuration issues—perfect for amateur users
  • Lots of configuration options let techies configure things just as they like
  • DDP-based security keeps you informed and PCs safe
  • Quickly learns user behavior to deliver personalized protection
  • User-friendly, attractive graphical interface

System Requirements:

  • 32-bit Windows 7 / Vista / XP SP2
  • 128 MB RAM
  • 250 MB hard disk space

Atelier Web Firewall...

The major concern nowadays is related to pieces of software installed in your computer which may contact and exchange information with the outside World without being authorizated and noticed by you.

Odds are that your machine is open wide. Some piece of software you have installed in your computer may be sending private and confidencial data to some place in the World without your knowledge.

AWFT probes the protection provided by your Personal Firewall software using six different tests. Each test uses a different technique for gaining access to the outside World.

Techniques are differently rated, according to their sophistication, and your Personal Firewall is doing a great job if is able to score 10 points in total.

If your Personal Fireall scored less than 10 points you may be able to adjust some settings to improve its performance. Do it and repeat the AWFT tests until you are happy. If you remain unhappy with your Personal Firewall you may, of course, try a different one.

WinAgents HyperConf ...

Automate Network Configuration and Backup Device Settings with WinAgents HyperConf.

WinAgents HyperConf automates network configuration management, performs automatic configuration backups for your routers, switches and firewalls in a multi-vendor network environment.

Dramatically increase your network reliability by automating the backup of your network settings and Cisco device configurations. See when, how and who was accessing your network devices. Cut down administration costs by simplifying the configuration of your network devices with WinAgents HyperConf.

According to Gartner, most cases of network failures are not the results of external attacks or hardware failures. Instead, up to 80% of all failures are direct results of misadministration and poor configuration. Tight security measures and corporate policies do not provide adequate protection against these kinds of threats. Tighter security meant to defend a network against system administrators can only lead to performance decrease, but won't provide any additional protection against human error.

If a network device, such as a Cisco switch or router, fails, it can be replaced in a matter of hours according to the service contract with its original manufacturer. Restoring your network settings and making necessary adjustments and configuring the device takes extra time and slows down the recovery process, increasing your network downtime.

WinAgents HyperConf automates the process of making device backups. It makes scheduled backups of all network devices and provides additional protection against misconfiguration by backing up the configuration of device settings every time someone makes any changes. WinAgents HyperConf instantly detects configuration changes via the SYSLOG messages monitoring, and records when and who accessed the device and what exactly has been changed. In case of a problem you can easily roll back the device to its previously working configuration without the need to call a system administrator.

Fast Network Recovery and Reduced Downtime:
Backup and restore your Cisco configuration automatically! Making timely backups of your device configurations makes recovery after a network failure a non-issue. Restoring a working configuration to a misconfigured device does not require much efforts. Even if your network device fails completely, and gets replaced with a new one, restoring its configuration from a backup is just a matter of minutes!

Compare Device Configurations:
WinAgents HyperConf is not limited to configuration backup and restore. With its built-in configuration viewer you can easily track and compare changes made to the configurations of your network devices. With WinAgents HyperConf, you will always know when, how and who was configuring your network devices.

Simplify Network Configuration and better ACL Control:
WinAgents HyperConf makes configuration changes easy for most types of network devices. The built-in configuration editor with syntax highlight allows viewing and changing device configurations easy. Making changes to Cisco configuration is especially easy thanks to the trademarked RouterTweak technology that allows editing device configuration visually.

WinAgents HyperConf offers a fast and convenient alternative to controlling ACL lists by allowing you to add or remove ACL commands from anywhere on the list. WinAgents HyperConf is aware of the Cisco command line and supports Cisco ACL as well.

The two-way firewall stops inappropriate or malicious access to your computer from both internal (LAN) and external (Internet) sources. As a frontline defense, it prevents malware from spreading or “phoning home”, providing protection against hackers, loss of personal data, unknown malware, and unauthorized program activity.

The lightweight, highly-effective scanning engine combines award-winning anti-virus and anti-spyware to detect, disinfect or remove malicious programs automatically.
