Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 serial key or number

Outpost Firewall Pro is a discontinued personal firewall developed by Agnitum (founded in 1999 in St. Petersburg, Russia).

Overview[edit]

Outpost Firewall Pro monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic on Windows machines. Outpost also monitors application behavior in an attempt to stop malicious software covertly infecting Windows systems. Agnitum called this technology "Component Control" and "Anti-Leak Control" (included into HIPS-based "Host Protection" module). The product also includes a spyware scanner and monitor, along with a pop-up blocker and spyware filter for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. (Outpost's web surfing security tools had included black-lists for IPs and URLs, unwanted web page element filters and ad-blocking. The technology altogether is known as "Web control".)

Version 7.5 adds new techniques to help PC users block unknown new threats before their activation:

• Removable media protection (so-called "USB Virus Protection", part of the Proactive Protection module) blocks unsigned programs set to run automatically upon the connection of a removable media.
• SmartDecision technology (so-called "Personal Virus Adviser", basis of the Proactive Protection module) facilitates decision-making process.

Version 8 introduces further improvements as well as Windows 8 compatibility and a redesigned user interface; version 8 also has extends x64host-based intrusion-prevention system (HIPS) support.

Outpost Firewall Pro allows the user to specifically define how a PC application connects to the Internet. This is known as the "Rules Wizard" mode, or policy, and is the default behavior for the program. In this mode, Outpost Firewall Pro displays a prompt each time a new process attempts network access or when a process requests a connection that was not covered by its pre-validated rules. The idea is to let the user decide whether an application should be allowed a network connection to a specific address, port or protocol. Outpost Firewall includes pre-set rules for many popular applications. Users could optionally submit rules they had created.

First versions for Outpost Firewall Pro (1.0–4.0) allow users to create their own plugins and add other third-party plugins^[2][3] to meet specific needs.^[4] Later versions do not have the plugin programming interface.

Online assistance[edit]

Outpost Firewall Pro users developed an unofficial web forum fed by Agnitum^[5] since 2002 to discuss product features and support. The forum is moderated by experienced senior users of Outpost Firewall Pro and offers help and support for technical advice and program assistance.

Achievements[edit]

Outpost Firewall Pro's self-protection technology aims at detecting attempts to modify or disable its services or hinder program protection, and received accolades by Comparison Testers as being capable and sophisticated at detecting all known methods of disabling it without user permission. The testing site Matousec.com^[6] (performing a test-set of leak-tests to all known software including PC firewalls), consistently gives Outpost Firewall Pro its highest ratings in PC firewalls independent comparisons. Outpost Firewall Pro has more than^{[weasel words]} 30 awards in 15 countries in computer media and test labs since 2002.^[7]

The product was also licensed^[8] by several security software publishers in 2003–2010: Sophos (UK, USA), Lavasoft (Sweden), Canon (Japan), Bullguard (UK), CAT-QuickHeal (India), Novell (USA), AVG (Czech Republic), Avast (Czech Republic), Proland Software (India), and others.

Editions[edit]

• Outpost Firewall Pro: A sharewarepersonal firewall with inbound-outbound PC program actions control and port stealthing plus anti-spyware and web surfing security plus HIPS engine.
• Outpost Firewall Free: A freeware version which includes a web and local PC firewall with access control and port stealthing, plus HIPS engine.
• Outpost Security Suite Pro: Includes personal firewall, anti-virus, anti-spam, web surfing security tools and HIPS. Anti-spam has been dropped from version 8 onwards as it duplicates functions built into the most popular web and PC mail clients and is thus redundant.
• Outpost Security Suite Free: Free but limited edition for Internet Security Suite features (PC firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and host intrusion prevention system HIPS).

Criticism[edit]

Outpost can generate a large number of security alerts, which some experts^[who?] believe will lead to an inexperienced end-user habitually dismissing all alerts, even important ones. This firewall is preferred by experienced users^[who?] as Agnitum's direction is to give the end user complete control to all aspects of their system to avoid unwanted changes by malicious software, disclosure of personal information and malware. In advanced security mode, Outpost's Component Control will notify the user every time a network enabled application has a changed component and Anti-Leak Control will notify the user whenever an application performs a potentially dangerous operation such as overwriting another application's memory space. In practice this can result in such a high number of alerts that they can quickly become intrusive. To mediate this, Outpost includes the option to apply validated pre-sets automatically, to allow for a secure configuration, and yet provide ease of use.

Discontinuation[edit]

On December 9, 2015, Yandex Acquired Agnitum in order to use their technology in the Yandex browser. Valid license holders were given until January 31, 2016 to exchange their license keys for a 1 year license of Kaspersky Internet Security.^[9]

On releasing Outpost Antivirus Pro 2008, Agnitum fulfilled its arsenal of security measures and since then has provided all the possible options for both security customizers and fans of combined security. Same as version 2008, the latest Outpost Security Suite features the acclaimed personal firewall, anti-spyware, antivirus, integral host protection, web control and antispam – all improved on the new level. Outpost Firewall Pro and Outpost Antivirus Pro share equal functionality with their “elder brother” - with a significant exception of antispam in both and full web control module in Outpost Antivirus; accordingly, the standalone firewall leaves out the antivirus and vice versa.

Here’s what Agnitum improved to make the product line an even more convenient tool and security sprinter:

Appearance and Control enhancements

· Protection Status Overview: The new dashboard-style display provides a summary of the current Outpost protection status – from the state of updates to the level of security settings.

· Easy Interface Layout Toggle: By switching between the Basic and Expert interface layout options, you can customize your preferred view of the main program window.

· Improved Event Logger Manageability: The familiar Outpost 4.0 event logger is back with its per-category filterable and sortable log entries.

· New Process Activity Monitor: This tool lists all currently active processes in expandable format, providing quick access to key properties.

· More Informative Network Activity Monitor: Outpost 2009 sports a redesigned, more logical Network Activity display where connections are grouped by application.

Providing gains with no pains as regards performance, Outpost 2009 challenges the stereotype of security product as resource hogs and eliminates plenty of potential slow-downs.

With the revolutionary changes to SmartScan functionality enabling it to store the history of past malware scans in a single secure location (instead of all PC folders, as in Outpost 2008) and avoid repeated checks of unaltered files, the scanner runs up to ten times faster than before, and data stream processing is much more efficient.

Computers protected by Outpost now start faster, run faster, scan faster, and use fewer system resources, delivering the ultimate in transparent, hands-free security.

The mentioned improvements come hand-in-hand with purely technological achievements. The core security layer has been further reinforced to withstand latest internal sabotage attacks and addresses the most lethal leak techniques employed by undetectable malware.

Here’s what will make your Outpost-protected PC a hard nut to crack:

Extended Host Protection: To fully protect users from inappropriate activity, Outpost now includes protection against the latest security breach techniques. Outpost’s perfect leaktest pass scores reflect the product’s ability to protect against attacks on personal data employed by real, in-the-wild malware.

Protection Against Keyloggers : Outpost’s Host Protection will protect your system against keylogger activity, monitoring system events and ensuring that no malicious keyboard interactions are possible. This will prevent the unwitting disclosure of personal information, including passwords and credit card numbers.

IP Blocklist Keeps Surfing Clean: IP Blocklist lets users blacklist specified Internet domains and restrict incoming and outcoming traffic from reportedly nefarious sites. The list of blocked entries can either be manually defined or imported from different web communities.

Antispam supports The Bat!: Agnitum’s Bayesian-based Antispam module, erstwhile suitable for Microsoft mail clients only, can now be integrated into a popular The Bat! email program and operates as smoothly as with Outlook products.

Outpost 2009 is compatible with the latest Windows platforms including Vista SP1, XP SP3, and Server 2008 as well as all previous 32- and 64-bit versions from Windows 2000 onwards. All three products will work smoothly on a 450 MHz or faster CPU (x-86/x-64/multi-core) with 256Mb RAM.

 Price:

Outpost Firewall Pro, Outpost Antivirus Pro and Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 are available for € 39.95, € 19.95 and € 49.95, respectively. Active license holders for Outpost Pro 2008 products will be granted a free-of-charge upgrade to the latest versions.

Publisher review for Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 6.5.5:

Review by: Agnitum, Ltd.
Outpost Security Suite Pro is a robust Internet security solution that proactively protects SOHO users against a broad range of current and future threats ranging from malware to hackers to identity compromise. The program features an award-winning firewall, fast and reliable antimalware, a unique Host Protection module, web and transaction security tools, and a self-learning antispam engine for complete protection on the Internet.
At the heart of the Suite, the industry-leading bidirectional firewall guards users' network access, keeping them safe from inappropriate or malicious connections, internal or external breaches, unsafe URLs and the risk of loss of private data. The powerful and efficient antimalware scanner that incorporates dedicated antivirus and antispyware engines will defend users against any possible type of infection: viruses, worms, spyware, keyloggers and more.
The unique SmartScan 2 technology makes repeated scans complete much faster. The Host Protection module takes a new approach to combating malware: it pre-empts the infection by examining the behavior of a monitored object, proactively blocking it from performing any unauthorized activity. This type of defense-in-advance helps to halt unknown malware before it can activate its destructive payload and renders traditional signature scanners largely unnecessary.
To keep the inbox clean of junk email, the Suite's multi-client antispam component will learn and memorize what users define as spam and apply this knowledge to categorize future email, addressing the problem of spam on a personal level. Special tamper-proof technologies that safeguard the integrity of Outpost components ensure the security cannot be deactivated by targeted attacks.

450 MHz CPU(x86/x64/multi-core), 256Mb RAM, 100MB free disk space.
