Telecommuters

To meet the security needs of mobile professionals and telecommuters often beyond the reach of a corporate firewall; VisNetic Firewall for Workstations blocks unwanted attacks on an individual computer. VisNetic Firewall provides protection via a packet-level firewall governing access through the firewall based on rules for all incoming and outgoing data. Prior to gaining access to or from the computer, each packet is checked against the rules, which determine the specific origin, destination, ports and protocols transmitted. The rules defined within the software instruct the firewall what traffic to allow and what traffic to block.

When a user is on the road, or accessing corporate information from an external source, security gaps may produce vulnerabilities or entry points to sensitive data. VisNetic Firewall for Workstations supplies tighter security than the typical personal firewall installed on a stand-alone computer by offering Stateful Inspection to identify required information, while blocking potentially damaging packets. Rather than simply verifying the packet contents, Stateful Inspection ensures the legitimacy of the packet by matching its presence to an actual request. Without VisNetic Firewall's key feature, Stateful Inspection, an attack could be undetected and unblocked.

VisNetic Firewall also utilizes a helpful Configuration Wizard during software installation. The Configuration Wizard eases setup and ensures comprehensive protection immediately upon installation. The Configuration Wizard asks a series of questions relating to the environment in which the firewall is being installed. The answers provided in the Configuration Wizard establish the initial rules VisNetic Firewall will follow making installation easy with strong security.
