CrossTec Introduces NetOp Desktop Firewall
CrossTec Corporation announced the release of the NetOp Desktop
Firewall, developed by Danware Data A/S and designed to protect
enterprises from the vulnerabilities associated with the use of
laptop machines on a corporate network. According to the company,
NetOp Desktop Firewall is a driver-centric firewall and addresses
the security needs that corporations encounter when their employees
take their corporate laptops outside the protection of the perimeter
firewall. The NetOp Desktop Firewall offers process and application
control, protecting computers on the corporate network and ensuring
laptop security.
The centrally managed firewall restricts traffic in to and out
of network machines via port, protocol, and IP address. Additionally,
the NetOp Desktop Firewall provides process control to limit which
applications run on each user's machine. Only applications significant
to a user's needs are run on their computers, controlling the execution
of malicious applications such as viruses, worms, spy-ware, and
ad-ware. The firewall's centralized management utility enables the
creation of corporate policies that provide protection whether on
or off the corporate network.
