Press Release Summary: Outpost Security Suite 2009 builds on the firewall, with antimalware, host protection, web control and anti-spam. Outpost Firewall and Outpost AntiVirus are subsets of the suite - the former lacks antispam, the latter omits antispam and web control.
Press Release Body: ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, July 2, 2008: The security experts at Agnitum, the leading personal firewall provider, today announced the launch of the Outpost Pro 2009 product line. Outpost 2009 strikes a one-two-three blow against cyber-threats with its new generation security solutions – Outpost Firewall Pro, Outpost Antivirus Pro and Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009. Outpost Pro 2009 is intended for individual users and small businesses running on Windows operating systems.
“Outpost 2009 has been designed with optimization in mind. This principle touches just about every aspect of the program, from performance and appearance to control and accessibility. The main focus overall is on creating the optimum user experience,” said Alexey Belkin, Chief Software Architect at Agnitum.
Here’s an overview of the improvements in Outpost 2009:
User interface and controls
* Protection Status Overview * Basic/Expert Interface Toggle * Improved Event Logger Manageability * New Process Activity Monitor * More Informative Network Activity Monitor
Performance
“Gain without pain” was the goal here; Outpost 2009 challenges the stereotype of security products as resource hogs and eliminates a number of potential slow-downs.
SmartScan now runs up to ten times faster than in earlier versions, and data stream processing is much more efficient. This is achieved by storing the history of past malware scans in a single secure location, instead of all PC folders, as in Outpost 2008.
Computers protected by Outpost now start faster, run faster, scan faster, and use fewer system resources, delivering the ultimate in transparent, hands-free security.
New functionality
Outpost 2009 is not just a pretty face. The core security layer in all three products has been further reinforced to withstand latest internal sabotage attacks and addresses the most lethal leak techniques employed by undetectable malware.
System requirements, pricing, and availability
Outpost 2009 is compatible with Windows Vista SP1, XP SP3, and Server 2008 as well as all previous 32- and 64-bit versions from Windows 2000 onwards. Outpost 2009 will work smoothly on a 450 MHz or faster CPU (x-86/x-64/multi-core) with 256Mb RAM.
