ProtectStar Inc., the independent global operator for IT security, launches the ProtectStar Mobile Firewall worldwide today.
Hackers have various options for accessing unprotected data and appliances. It is possible to steal confidential data such as passwords, files or addresses in a matter of minutes. And it’s perfectly easy to modify computers and infiltrate a system with destructive viruses, worms and Trojan horses.
The very worrying gaps in the security of mobile appliances and their operating system software – for example, Windows Mobile has no security architecture of its own – result in unprotected data access. That made it absolutely necessary to develop a product providing these services.
The ProtectStar Mobile Firewall is the first compact firewall for Windows Mobile pocket PCs, handhelds and smartphones, optimized for GPRS and UMTS networks and available as from today.
It provides IP filters for Wi-Fi, UMTS, GPRS, Bluetooth, and USB, protecting mobile appliances in two directions: a filter package monitors both sent and received data. The entire TCP/IP traffic between the computer and the Internet is thus under permanent surveillance.
Some of the key advantages of the ProtectStar Mobile Firewall:
• Bluetooth, WiFi, UMTS, USB and GPRS security
• DoS protection (Denial of Service)
• Simple installation via ActiveSync
• Filter wizard and manual filter control
• Monitors incoming and outgoing connections in real time
• Option for central administration
• Saves resources
• Protects from familiar and unknown worms and Trojan horses
• Traffic logging
• Pre-defined filters, profiles and services
• VPN support
Costs for unwanted Internet connections, downtime, and illegal access to sensitive company, private, and appliance data are now a thing of the past.
The menu, help context, and handbook with screenshots are easy to understand and follow.
