Outpost Pro Secuirty Suite Features
Proactive security
Preemptive threat protection
Outpost Security Suite Pro provides the first line of defense against malicious software by proactively controlling how programs behave and interact on a PC and preventing security breaches. The Host Protection module proactively monitors for and blocks sophisticated hacking techniques used to compromise or steal data. By analyzing threats and displaying actionable alerts, it blocks zero-day attacks and other unauthorized activities, providing advanced protection against botnets, rootkits and inadvertent data disclosure. This latest version extends the range of monitored events and operations for even greater and more customizable protection.
Self-protection
Today's malware frequently seeks to shut down security software to make its infection process easier. By incorporating solid tamper-proof protection for all its components, Outpost Security Suite Pro makes it impossible for anyone except the authorized user of the program to disable or close active protection.
Efficient anti-malware
360-degree malware defense
Both anti-virus and anti-spyware capabilities are provided through the universal anti-malware module, which ensures that computers are kept clean of any malicious program that might attempt to infect while the user is online. The on-access monitor constantly watches for and instantly disinfects, quarantines or removes any malware objects found in key areas of the PC, while the on-demand scanner lets users scan for and remove threats on hard disks, network folders, DVDs, or external storage devices. Email attachments are checked in real time as they leave or arrive, and users can move any suspicious file to the quarantine area for later review. Additional protection now prevents known rootkits and other sophisticated malware from loading and embedding themselves on the PC.
Scheduled scans and exclusions
Users can set up a flexible schedule for regular malware scans, plus define custom scanning criteria such as checking critical system areas whenever malware definitions have been updated.
Network security & continuity
Connection security
The two-way firewall monitors the computer’s inbound and outbound connections and prevents local and remote unauthorized network access. It conceals access ports, making the user’s presence on the Internet invisible. The Ethernet Protection module guards network connections and prevents insider attacks by controlling the transmission of data over the network. This eliminates the potential risk for data such as chat windows or authenticated browser sessions to be delivered to the wrong destination or intercepted while in transit.
Application access control
The firewall controls which programs are allowed to access the Internet, proactively protecting the PC against both zero-day threats and malware attempts to “phone home”.
Comprehensive coverage
Outpost Security Suite Pro secures all types of connections (Ethernet, WiFi, DSL, cable, cellular, and dial-up), automatically applying the necessary security settings when the computer is connected to a new provider.
Intrusion protection
The Attack Detection module automatically blocks known types of hacker attacks from gaining access to the computer.
Privacy & web safety
Protection from spam
Outpost Security Suite Pro’s Bayesian anti-spam engine will keep inboxes free of junk email. Users can train it to recognize and use their personal definition of spam, so it becomes more efficient and an even greater time saver the longer it is used.
Unsafe web site access restriction
Outpost can optionally alert and block access to potentially malicious or unwanted web sites based on a predefined list of URLs. This filtering ensures users won’t become a victim of inadvertent drive-by malware infection or phishing attacks that are looking to steal passwords, login information and other sensitive data. The list of blocked sites is updated via the automatic updates and can be edited to reflect individual preferences.
Safe repository for personal data
Any confidential information – for example, bank account numbers and passwords – that users define using ID Block is blocked from leaving the confines of the PC through communication channels such as IM, web or email. ID Block protects against identity theft and phishing attacks that target personal,confidential information. Plus, it ensures that no-one else – including other members of the household – can accidentally or deliberately disclose this information on the web.
Ad-free, anonymous surfing
By managing cookies and external referral URLs, Outpost lets users maintain a high level of privacy when visiting shopping, entertainment or news sites while at the same time allowing trusted sites to collect only the information needed to personalize pages. Additionally, Outpost Security Suite Pro lets users limit the elements displayed on web pages, providing cleaner and faster browsing. Users can also define the sites that are permitted (or not permitted) to display images, rotate advertising banners, execute external code such as ActiveX or Java scripts, or deliver pop-ups. The latest version of Outpost ensures compatibility with even the most complex and sophisticated websites, delivering smooth performance and heightened online safety.
Tracking & control
Network activity monitoring
Outpost's Network Activity Monitor shows every connection the user’s PC makes with other computers on the Internet or local network, so users can see what's happening on their PC at all times and quickly close down any unauthorized connections.
Password-protection, multiple configuration profiles
Users can set passwords to protect their configurations from accidental or deliberate modification, as well as create and use multiple configuration profiles to suit their current risk exposure. For advanced users, the ability to construct multiple restore points through the save/load configuration command is a big plus.
Basic logging
Outpost’s old Log Viewer has been replaced by a plain-text log database format that makes it easier to import, process and maintain records of past activities.
Compatibility
IPv6 support
The new network connection protocol extensively used in Windows Vista, IPv6, is fully recognized, filtered and its data protected. The protocol is the evolution of its predecessor, IPv4, and provides a number of scalability, automation and security improvements.
Adaptive firewall rules
When traveling with a laptop, or changing ISP, users don’t need to manually adjust their security for new connection settings - Outpost handles it automatically by designating connection-specific parameters such as DNS or gateway server addresses as environment variables.
Entertainment mode for uninterrupted gameplay and video viewing
While users play full-screen games or watch videos on their PC, Outpost's Entertainment Mode ensures the program won't interrupt with alerts if it detects new activity. New activity notifications are handled in the background without sacrificing current protection levels. Users can customize which applications will automatically trigger the switch to Entertainment Mode.
