GeSWall - Free Intrusion Prevention System for Windows
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY



DETAILS

GeSWall is an intrusion prevention system for Windows. It applies a
security policy that effectively precludes damage from various attacks and
malicious software.

Instead of blocking particular attack techniques GeSWall focuses on attack
objectives such as taking control of a PC, stealing data, breaking system
integrity etc. This approach allows block unknown attacks based on
zero-days vectors, e.g. GeSWall has been stopped Windows Metafile
exploits.

GeSWall policy isolates web browsers, e-mail, chat, p2p, irc clients and
other applications that may serve as entry points for malicious software
or intrusions. Viruses, trojans, spyware, keyloggers and exploits cannot
pass through an isolation policy and so cannot cause damage.

In contrast with similar solutions, GeSWall is not limited by using
sandboxing or virtualization, because this leads to usability problems.
GeSWall is designed to be as non-intrusive as possible and does not
restrict a network access, files or process creation. Instead, it tracks a
potential threat (e.g. a file, process) down, isolates this threat and
prevents damage.
