Jul 8th, 01:40 UTC
Latest version builds on the success of the free, configurable, open source Firewall with improvements and new client GUI.
Jersey City, NJ, July 3, 2008 - Comodo, a leading security company
announced today an updated release of TrustixTM Enterprise Firewall version 4.8.1 (TEF) - an enterprise class, open
source LINUX-based free firewall solution. Comodo Trustix Firewall provides robust perimeter protection to corporate networks
and delivers the highest levels of security and protection out-of-the-box. This high performance firewall monitors network
traffic and protects the network against unauthenticated traffic or login attempts which could inject Trojans, worms, or
infected files into the network. This free, commercial version now incorporates a powerful new anti-SPAM module for improved
performance and security.
TrustixTM Enterprise Firewall is acclaimed for its innovative, drag-and-drop user interface which allows
administrators to quickly set and modify complicated firewall settings such as De-Militarized Zones (DMZ's) without having to
program using a command line. This powerful feature enables administrators to visualize and configure firewall policy, DMZ's
(up to 24 zones), port forwarding, network address translation and virtual private network settings in a few mouse clicks.
The underlying rules generated by the program are then fully optimized before being deployed, thereby optimizing the security
and performance of your firewall's architecture, and avoiding errors and duplication.
Release 4.8.1 of Trustix Enterprise Firewall contains the following new features and improvements:
- High Availability & Load balancer: To avoid false fail-overs to a secondary server, the heartbeat
communication informs the secondary server whether the primary server has failed is now duplicated on a serial interface The
server will only take over if both the Ethernet and serial interface heartbeats cease.
- Intrusion Detection System (IDS) - Improvements to the client make it easier to remotely configure
IDS settings and determine the source of Intrusions.
- VPN Connection - Additional Advanced Settings and other improvements make the system more
configurable and easy to manage through a remote, VPN Connection.
- Improved Client GUI - Redesigned look and feel to improve ease of use and access to major features.

firewall that is highly intuitive and easy to use," according to Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of
Comodo. "This best-in-class enterprise firewall is innovative because it integrates multiple technologies to make it
