Norman Personal Firewall keeps unauthorized users out of your
system.
Personal
computers and computers in an organization have information which
is valuable for the user. However, that information may also be
valuable for others who should not have access to it.
Every
day the media publish articles about people and organizations
that have been attacked by “crackers”
trying to gain information from networks or single workstations.
Even
if computer does not have valuable information, it may be compromised
and used maliciously. It may be used as a tool to attack other
computers. Early in 2000 crackers used a lot of computers belonging
to unknowing owners, to shut down several major web sites by using
a technique called Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks.
To
prevent this from happening you need to be able to keep unauthorized
people out of your systems.
Almost
all organizations are using Firewalls to stop these problems.
However, such systems are usually too expensive for small organizations
and home users.
Norman's
product - The Norman Personal Firewall - is designed to be used
by home users and organizations that want to protect their PCs
from being compromised by attacks from the Internet or the local
network.
