Norman Personal Firewall keeps unauthorised users out of your system
Program Description:
Norman Personal Firewall
Organizations depend on corporate firewalls to protect and shield them from hackers and negative elements of the Internet. However, threats such as malicious JavaScripts, Active-Xs, Java Applets, exploits of applications, Internet enabled trojans, worms and viruses continue to be significant security threats to individual users that use the Internet/network. Among other security threats are internal hacking - from inside your organization. To prevent this from happening you need to be able to keep unauthorised people out of your systems. A solution must be provided that secures the individual users from all these threats. This solution should be powerful and easy to use and should be different from a corporate firewall. However, at the same time it should use the successful models that gave corporate firewalls their blueprint. The solution is Norman Personal Firewall (NPF). This is created to protect users on all levels, both at the office and at home. Norman Personal Firewall is both an application and packet level firewall, thus combining the two techniques used in corporate firewalls. Norman Personal Firewall uses techniques that are compliant with the TDI technology, and upgrading your operating system and applying service packs, does not render it unstable (an event that is common among other personal firewall products). With an Internet connection and NPF, you can venture the information technology highway safely, knowing that you are being protected. Features: Connection security Collection of Behavioral pattern Active Content Nuisance Parental Control Web browsing Scenario: Mary that is 4 years old can only surf these sites (www.disney.com, www.norman.com etc.) John can surf all sites except those containing any pornographic material. The banned sites are blocked by Parents can edit this banned word list. They can e.g. enter words containing things they do not want a child to see. Time Control and Account Manager Parents are able to define one or more accounts with user passwords. Each account can be given a total time (may differ for each account) pr. day/week/month and/or special hours during the day. Scenario: John may only access the Internet between 16:00 and 21:00 and a total of five hours a week. Mary can also use the Internet for five hours a week, but must do it between 13:00 and 18:00. Check summing of all executables (applications) that are stored in the rules database (except for the system itself). This way NPF will detect a possible trojan trying to pretend that it is a well-known Internet application. Scenario: Somebody installed a backdoor trojan with the file name of
IEXPLORER.EXE on your PC. This happens to be the same file name as Microsoft's
Internet Explorer. NPF would most likely already have rules for this executable
allowing it to access Internet sites using the http, https and ftp protocols.
The user will of course have the possibility to update the checksum if NPF detects a mismatch. This will only be accepted by NPF if the user acknowledges that the system has been updated with a patch, a service pack or a new version. New features in Norman Personal Firewall 1.3
