Any computer that is on Connected to the Internet has many doors through which communication with the outside world, be it the printer, e-mail or just the internet, is possible.

There are doors through malware, hackers or the like can penetrate the computer.

Through our external Firewall “phi-Sense” the doors that are not required are closed and thus protect against unauthorized access from inside and outside.

The phi-Sense regulates about rules not only the traffic from your computer to the internet or from Internet to your PC. But you can also, for example, all Windows computers prohibit access to the Internet.

With large company networks Load balancing can provide relief for outgoing data traffic. This means, that the data traffic is distributed over several WAN interfaces.

Not just protecting the Privacy is required, but also control of access to the Internet or internal network as well as the protection of data traffic.

Should be strange If packets appear, the phi-Sense automatically tries to send the packets normalize in order to prevent attacks.

Windows Defender sufficient as virus protection?

Category: News

The answer is very clear: no.

The Windows Defender from the perspective of the experts

On closer inspection it turns out to be Windows Defender however as a simple real-time scanner, which hardly works with "real" antivirus programs from Bitdefender, Kaspersky and Co. can keep up. The small side project of Microsoft increased in scope in recent years, but the Windows Defender still unable to hold a candle to good external antivirus software. So there is the chance that the Windows Defender detects new variants of viruses, Trojans or other malware at just 25 percent - despite the additional heuristic analyzes - while its general detection rate is around 76 percent. For comparison: the hit rates of antivirus software from well-known manufacturers are between 90 and 98 percent. After all: the Windows Defender is slim, resource-saving and even runs on the now very old XPComputers. But are these good arguments to rely on him?

Extract from the contribution.
