NetOp Desktop Firewall
The NetOp Desktop Firewall offers a new and powerful tool for protecting your network, PCs and Laptops. The NetOp Desktop Firewall is the first driver-centric desktop firewall. This means it loads as a driver, which loads before Windows and even before your PC connects to the network. In addition to traditional firewall control of protocols and ports (packet filtering), the NetOp Desktop Firewall controls processes and can be centrally managed.
The NetOp Desktop Firewall is designed to meet the needs of organizations who are serious about security. The NetOp Desktop Firewall is packed with features to help IT professionals get the most out of firewall technology with unique features for stand-alone users or as a centrally managed system.
NetOp Desktop Firewall Benefits
Centralized management and control - The NetOp Desktop Firewall offers the ability to centrally control and manage the firewall configuration of all desktop firewalls on your network. Administrators and security managers can easily, and in real-time, define and manage the security level of each PC. By centrally applying profiles, administrators can ensure that security settings are adjusted automatically according to the computer’s environment. And processes can be allowed or disallowed centrally, meaning that malicious programs can be eliminated within the first few critical minutes of an infection.
Security at the Driver Level - Unlike standard personal firewalls where process or application control, if any, is very basic - the NetOp Desktop Firewall provides security that is 100% at the driver level. This means any risk of a security breach when the system is started is eliminated. You stop both unwanted attacks on the computer and also unwanted processes from running.
Protection for, and from, mobile users - Not only does the NetOp Desktop Firewall keep your user's laptops safe when they’re on the road, it makes sure that any malicious programs they’ve downloaded can't “escape” when they get back to the office.
Intelligent Network Detection - By recognizing different security profiles, depending on location, the NetOp Desktop Firewall allows you to do what you need to do when you’re at home, but shifts to high security at work to protect your colleagues and company.
NetOp Desktop Firewall's security consists of two modules: The NetOp Desktop Firewall and the optional NetOp Policy Server.
NetOp Desktop Firewall
Process Control
The NetOp Desktop Firewall Process Control is an extremely powerful tool that lets you manage the processes running on your system. Using Process Control, you define rules that apply for any application. Unlike typical Firewall products that simply prevent a suspect application from communicating - NetOp gives you the ability to stop the process from running at all. You can also specify if you want to allow communication, only allow communication of a trusted network, or prevent any communication
Packet Filtering
The NetOp Desktop Firewall dynamic packet filtering architecture works at the network layer controlling IP addresses ports and protocols.
Dynamic packet filtering monitors the states of the connections and compiles this information in a state table. Because of this, filtering decisions are based in static packet filtering rules, but also on context that has been established by prior packets that have passed through the firewall.
As an added security measure against port scanning, the NetOp Desktop Firewall closes off ports until a connection to the specific port is requested.
NetOp Policy Server
The NetOp Desktop Firewall can optionally be centrally managed by the NetOp Policy Server. It includes the modules NetOp Policy Server Console, Master Server and Replica Server.
NetOp Desktop Firewall Control
The NetOp Policy Server assigns a Security Policy to a logged on NetOp Desktop Firewall specifying configuration for Programs, Ports, Protocols, Trusted Nets and Banned Nets Firewall Rules, Profiles and Profile Rules in real-time and also records information from the NetOp Desktop Firewalls.
Manageability
The NetOp Policy Server fully supports Microsoft Active Directory and can apply Security Policies to computers being members of the Active Directory Security Groups. This allows management of the infrastructure security to be performed from an administrator’s usual tool; Active Directory Users and Computers.
For fault tolerance and load distribution the NetOp Policy Server has been implemented with a Master Server and multiple Replica Servers ensuring maximum system availability.
