Outpost Security Suite Pro provides the first line of defence against rogue software by pro-actively controlling how programs behave and interact on a PC. The Host Protection safeguard, which pro-actively monitors for and blocks the kinds of sophisticated hacking techniques used to compromise or steal data, means that malicious activity is no longer possible. By analysing threats and displaying actionable alerts, Host Protection stops zero-day attacks and shields the computer against inappropriate operations, rendering it “defended in advance” against security risks like botnets and inadvertent data disclosure.

This is the first public preview of the forthcoming Outpost Security Suite 2008, which is now Vista compatible.

The major new functionality is an AutoLearn functionality. Outpost has sometimes been criticised in the past for forcing users to make too many decisions, so we’ve introduced this functionality to deal specifically with this issue. To do this, OSS now “memorizes” users’ responses over time, along with individual settings for Internet-connected applications, to create a pattern of responses that enables the software to predict and automatically apply an appropriate response for similar decision scenarios in the future.

Note that this version is only a beta preview and has certain limitations. The anti-spam module isn't included, the web control module is not included and the realtime email scanning system isn't working in this first release.
