Outpost Firewall Pro 2009 collecting awards

This September we’d like to boast the success of our standalone Outpost Firewall Pro 2009 that has received awards from ProtectStar Test Lab in the US / Germany and WebUser magazine in the UK.

Over its lifetime, the company’s flagship product has collected more than 50 awards in 15 countries. Released in July of this year, Outpost Firewall Pro 2009 started out with a 99% leakproof result in the Matousec Transparent Security tests and continues its winning streak across Europe and the US.

The UK’s best-selling Internet magazine, Web User, awarded Outpost a Gold Medal in its recent firewall comparison tests. Agnitum’s standalone firewall beat out four leading competitors – both paid and free software – to gain top place.

The magazine’s verdict was: “Although using this software will force you to dip into your pocket, we think the best security is worth paying for, especially when it's still good value and you're getting the benefits of ease of use and extra features.”

The full version of the review is available on the magazine’s website at http://www.webuser.co.uk/products/Outpost_Firewall_Pro_2009_review_4669-203.html.

During the summer of 2008, ProtectStar Test Lab, an independent IT- and communication security organization with offices in the US, UK and Germany, carried out in-depth testing on eight standalone firewall solutions offered by leading manufacturers. The coveted ProtectStar 2008 award was given to Outpost Firewall Pro 2009.

According to a number of testing criteria, Outpost demonstrated its excellence in protection capabilities and usability. The product outstripped such prominent competitors as Zone Alarm Pro and Sunbelt Personal Firewall.

The test report is available in German from the ProtectStar website at http://www.protectstar-testlab.org/award/protectstar-testlab-fw-vergleich0809_web.pdf (PDF document).

Outpost Security Suite 2009 review on BrightHub

The continuous series of positive reviews of Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 (including those by PC World UK, ComputerActive, IT Reviews, etc.) has been recently extended with a nice BrightHub article!

The author's verdict reads: "Outpost Security Suite 2009 will cover if not all, most of the needed security protection by users. Advanced user is not required!"Also, Donna Buenaventura, the reviewer, emphasized the product's great value for money!

The article contains an
overview of the product, installation and set-up experience, as well as, of course, features and performance. All went smoothly and provided a positive impression. The firewall capabilities received their well-deserved estimation and the anti-malware engine performed well and didn't use much PC resource.

We were also glad to learn that the BrightHub reviewer liked our recent feature IP Blocklist that allows to block malicious IP addresses in bulk.

To sum up, we're pleased to receive another great testimonial. Will keep on informing you about our further accomplishments.

P.S. By the way, BrightHub, the network of technology and IT writers, is looking for new contributors! Anyone with decent computer knowledge and tolerable written English can join.
