Features:

• Intrusion prevention - F-Secure Distributed Firewall filters inbound and outbound Internet traffic at desktops and laptops with simple and effective filtering rules. The intrusion prevention feature automatically blocks unauthorized access to the computers and hides them from hackers.
• Application Control - F-Secure Distributed Firewall controls which programs can safely connect to the Internet. Thus, it prevents malicious programs, such as Trojans and spyware, from transferring valuable data to hackers over the Internet, whether the end-user is logged to the computer or not. Furthermore, user-defined services enable easier use of complex network protocols, such as file sharing and networked games.
• Stateful Inspection - With stateful inspection, F-Secure Distributed Firewall can automatically and securely open and close communication ports for the requesting software leaving no ports open to hackers. The inspection is executed by a powerful and intelligent filtering engine that monitors all the communications to and from the computer.
• Built-in Security Levels - In order to make the security control as easy as possible, F-Secure Distributed Firewall provides four pre-defined security levels. The simple and user-friendly interface ensures that the user does not accidentally turn the protection off, as could be the case with complicated settings definitions.
• Easy to use, configure and install - F-Secure Distributed Firewall prevents intrusions and yet is easy-to-use for non-technical people. At the same time, the solution has a rich set of features for advanced users. The most important configurations are guided with a configuration wizard, which makes the installation and day-to-day use simple for non-technical users. In corporate environments, security policies can be defined at the administrator's workstation and deployed to the entire corporation automatically.
• Security Alerts, Logs and Reports - The user receives alerts on blocked hacking attempts and can investigate them further from traffic logs. In corporate environments, the network administrator can easily generate reports of blocked attempts on the entire fleet of laptops and desktops. He/she can also lock the security settings and make the configurations and alerts invisible to the corporate users.
