This version delivers proactive security functionality that blocks all
currently-known techniques for bypassing security protection (leak
tests), so it fully prevents sensitive data leakage from individual
PCs. Its new Anti-Leak Control integrates Hidden Process Control and
Process Memory Control technologies available in previous versions and
provides a set of additional anti-leak features, such as control over
another application, components injection, application window control,
application launch with command line parameters among others.
- Its new spyware signature analyzer provides even more accurate spyware detection to increase users’ protection against all known and even unknown malware. The spyware scanner uses only the unchanged part of a file, not the entire file, to more precisely evaluate threats.
- Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 uses a new, ultra powerful Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) 256 verification routine to identify applications while automatically creating network access rules through ImproveNet. This enables Outpost Firewall to be much more precise in identifying an application in order to ensure the creation and distribution of optimum rule sets. This algorithm replaces the old MD5 algorithm that could be bypassed by recently discovered hacking techniques, which, of course, significantly reduced the ability of this commonly used MD5 algorithm to protect users’ machines.
- Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 makes it much easier to create the most secure configurations with its new macro definitions for applications and global rules. These can be used, for example, to designate the local network as LOCALNET or all DNS servers simply as DNS. This gives advanced users the ability to quickly define security rules for their Intranet communications as well as some Windows-based services (for example, DNS).
- Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 also provides a specially designed Game mode that avoids distracting the user’s attention or interrupting a game yet still protects the system when you are playing or watching movies online. While in this mode, the protection is active without bothering the user with numerous prompts or alerts.
- For those who want to decrease the number of prompts, yet still want to have full control, Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 suggests the Low level of Component Control, which does not warn about every changed or added application component, but warns only about executable files.
- Finally, Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 features a new self-protection mode. With self-protection turned on, Outpost Firewall Pro protects itself against termination caused by viruses, Trojans or spyware. Even attempts to simulate user keystrokes that would otherwise lead to firewall shutdown are detected and blocked. Outpost Firewall Pro also constantly monitors its own components on the hard drive, registry entries, memory status, running services, and so on, and disallows any changes by malicious applications.
