Introduction to Comodo Dome Firewall - Virtual Appliance

Comodo Dome Firewall (DFW) provides comprehensive security for enterprise networks. The firewall software can be installed on a physical system or a virtual machine.

Dome Firewall simplifies the overall management of network security by delivering a single interface through which administrators can control firewall policy, antivirus, intrusion prevention, website filtering, traffic monitoring, VPN and proxy servers. Dome Firewall also features highly configurable notifications, in-depth reporting and an informative dashboard which offers a panoramic view of all major settings and network events.
