OUTPOST OFFICE FIREWALL RELEASED
Agnitum releases Outpost Office Firewall, the business-oriented security
solution that provides reliable end-point protection for corporate
networks. Most office networks are as vulnerable to Internet threats as
home computers, and considering those threats can come from outside as well
as inside the network perimeter, companies cannot underestimate the overall
security challenge. To protect office users from DNA attacks, worms,
Trojans and other dangers, Agnitum developed Outpost Office Firewall based
on the award-winning code employed in Outpost Firewall Pro.
With Agnitum's Outpost Office Firewall, users get a cost-effective solution
to secure their corporate networks from external and internal threats.
Outpost Office Firewall provides a superior arsenal of defense and also
allows you to centrally deploy, configure and update software on client
computers. This makes Outpost Office Firewall the core element of a
multi-layered protection system for modern security measures.

VERSION 2.6 OF OUTPOST PERSONAL FIREWALL PRO INCLUDES IE-BAR
On April 11, 2005 Agnitum released version 2.6 of Outpost Firewall Pro. The
new version provides an alternative method for controlling the content of
web pages directly from the browser, thanks to a new browser adjustment
plug-in.
This plug-in allows users to manage the settings for ads and active content
plug-ins from a special panel in Internet Explorer. The panel contains
options with the settings for ads and active content plug-ins that are
similar to those displayed in the Outpost Firewall interface. These options
allow users of Internet Explorer to apply their security settings "on the
fly," directly from the browser window.
Outpost Firewall Pro 2.6 has also achieved improved performance and
repaired stability issues submitted by users.

AGNITUM EARNS AWARD IN SWEDEN
The Swedish magazine Råd&Rön conducted a test of 21 security products and
presented the results in their February 2005 issue 2005. Råd&Rön is
published by the Swedish Consumer Agency ? a state-independent quality
assessment organization with the goal of providing objective information to
Swedes about consumer affairs.
The testers organized the software into three categories: security packets
(anti-virus with firewall), stand-alone firewalls, and stand-alone
anti-virus products. As a stand-alone firewall product, Outpost had to
compete with Kerio, Zone Alarm, Kaspersky Anti-Hacker and Sygate firewalls.
Both the Free and Pro versions of Outpost participated in the test. Råd&Rön
selected Outpost Firewall Pro 2.5 as the best product in its category due
to its outstanding security features.
This is the second award given to Outpost by Råd&Rön experts, as the 2.0
version was a test winner in 2003.
