Tiny
Personal Firewall represents smart, easy-to-use personal
security technology that fully protects personal computers
against hackers. It is built on the proven WinRoute Pro, ICSA
certified security technology. Tiny Personal Firewall is also
an integral part in Tiny Software's new Centrally Managed
Desktop Security (CMDS) system awarded a contract by the US
Air Force to encompass about 500,000 desktop computers. The
following descriptions demonstrate the simplicity of use, yet
powerful features of Tiny Personal Firewall.
Intrusion Detection
Personal Firewall includes an easy-to-use wizard that detects
unknown activity and prompts the user for setup information.
After the setup is complete, a new rule is applied to the
filter rules list. This option may be disabled.
Application Filter
To protect from Trojan horse and other unauthorized
applications, Personal Firewall includes an application
filter. The wizard will detect when an application attempts to
bind to a port for communication and create a filter rule
based on the users input. Users may permit applications
manually from the filter rules. Tiny Personal Firewall also
provides a database of common applications that use known
ports.
MD5 Signature Support
To ensure that Trojan horse applications cannot pose as a
trusted application, Tiny Personal Firewall offers the option
to check for an MD5 digital signature for trusted
applications.
Syslog
Log information can be sent to a central syslog server for
reporting purposes. This too will be an integral component of
Tiny Software's new centrally managed desktop security system
used by the US Air Force.
Trusted Addresses
Users may create filtering rules that apply to user-defined,
trusted address groups. Multiple address groups, based on a
single IP, a subnet, or range may be created in the
"trustful addresses".
Remote/Secure Administration
In addition to login authentication, Tiny Personal Firewall
allows for full remote configuration of security policies.
This will be an important element for the centrally managed
desktop security system as it will allow remote configuration
of each user's security policies through a centrally managed
console server.
Time Intervals
Filter rules can be arranged so that they are only valid
during specific hours.
Tiny Personal Firewall includes many other firewall features
and is an ideal security solution for home/business
stand-alone and network computers.
