(*) Outpost Firewall Pro 2.7 Boosts Outbound Data Protection
(*) Agnitum Launches an Office in United States
(*) Two-Year Renewal Period Now Available
(*) New Award In France
**********************************************************
NEW VERSION 2.7 OF OUTPOST FIREWALL PRO ADDS FLEXIBLE PROTECTION AGAINST
HIDDEN THREATS
The task of protecting personal data stored on a computer is becoming more
challenging. Hackers employ predatory new tactics that allow them to seize
personal data through the bypassing of traditional firewall defenses. Attack
mechanisms that exploit the inadequate outbound data found with many modern
firewalls can yield substantial gains to its originators. With the release
of new version of Outpost Firewall PRO, the security bar has been markedly
raised.
As always, Outpost makes sure that no unintended chunk of information ever
leaves or enters your PC. Introduced with the new version are program
control mechanisms and unmatched flexibility that let users specify
exclusion lists for programs whose ability to launch, modify or control
other applications would always be considered legit. This feature eliminates
numerous user prompts and redundant confirmation windows while keeping your
defenses robust.
With three powerful mechanisms available-Process Memory Control, Hidden
Process Control and Components control-and an option to customize their
settings, program users benefit from powerful protection delivered with
enviable application control flexibility. These features make a huge
contribution to the overall level of security and usability offered by the
award-winning firewall technology.

AGNITUM LAUNCHES AN OFFICE IN UNITED STATES
Agnitum is pleased to announce the opening of its first office in North
America. Distribution and promotion of the company's new product, Outpost
Office Firewall, is the most important task for the U.S. office at the

will be strongly promoted in the near future. With heavy demand to protect
small and medium businesses from inbound and outbound threats-DDoS attacks,
worms, Trojans and disgruntled employees-Office Firewall will definitely
occupy a strong position on the American market.
Agnitum's new North American presence is being spearheaded by startup sales
and marketing consultancy Euresto Partners. Principals Jim Leonard and Pat
Bitton, respectively VP Sales and VP Marketing for Agnitum North America,

NEW AWARD IN FRANCE
The results of Outpost's performance in an extensive firewall test were
published in France's PC Expert May 2005 issue. Outpost Firewall blocked
more leak tests than any other product in the test and won first place with
the Editor's Choice award. The magazine considers Outpost's defense arsenal
the most powerful in comparison to other firewalls in the test, including
the Windows Firewall.
Outpost Firewall Pro won special recognition from the magazine through the
following nominations:
-Best Firewall overall;
-Best protection against hackers;
-Maximum blocking of leaks; and
-Highest efficiency and ease of use.
The test results also stress the usability of Outpost's pre-defined rule
settings, which provide users with out-of-box protection.
The conclusion of the magazine reads as follows:
"... a well-deserved first place because it excels in protection against
hacker attacks... It's the best-armed firewall to block furtive outgoing
connections."
