FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 28, 2006 -- St. Petersburg, Russia and San Jose, California � March 15, 2006 � Agnitum Ltd, the leading European provider of software firewalls, today announced the availability of Outpost Network Security (ONS) 2.0.

Outpost Network Security provides small and medium-sized businesses and branch offices with a centrally-managed firewall and anti-spyware solution. Implementing both proactive and reactive security layers, ONS 2.0 provides robust endpoint protection against spyware, network intrusion, hacker probes, privacy violations, and data leaks.

New functionality in Outpost Network Security 2.0:

Network anti-spyware protection

ONS 2.0 incorporates a powerful anti-spyware module that combines proactive monitoring and an on-demand scanner to protect network endpoints. Any spyware that gets onto a client is effectively contained. It is prevented from phoning home confidential data when the laptop reconnects to the network and from hopping across network connections to infect other clients.

Targeted information protection

ONS 2.0 enables users to identify blocks of text or character strings such as passwords, confidential financial information, or employee identification information and ringfence that information so it can never be exported from the network.

Central controls

In small organizations, employees frequently have varying degrees of computing experience and workgroups are assigned varying security policies. Outpost Network Security 2.0 provides administrators with centralized deployment, management and updating of endpoint protection remotely from a single console.

Flexible configuration for different user groups

The addition of group support gives administrators extra flexibility in managing endpoint security by assigning specific configurations to discrete user groups, enabling administrators to designate customized network access policies for specific groups depending on risk and exposure levels.

An even tougher firewall
Outpost Firewall Pro has long been the technology to beat in the consumer software firewall market. At the heart of ONS 2.0 is the Outpost Firewall Pro 3.5 firewall engine, empowering ONS to deliver reliable, easy-to-use protection against known and unknown network attacks, spoofing, and network-level disruption.

Pricing and availability

Pricing for ONS 2.0 remains starts at $35 per user for the first year including all updates and upgrades. The product is available through authorized Agnitum resellers and direct from the Agnitum website at www.agnitum.com.
