Comodo Internet Security - Extended Features
Highly Configurable Security Rules Interface
Comodo Internet Security offers more control over security settings than ever before. Users can quickly set granular Internet access rights and privileges on a global or per application basis using the flexible and easy to understand GUI. Comodo Internet Security now supports seamless integration with COMODO Endpoint Security Manager(ESM). Any CIS endpoint can be instantly turned into a centrally managed endpoint from the clients. This version also sees the introduction of preset security policies which allow you to deploy a sophisticated hierarchy of firewall rules with a couple of mouse clicks.
Application Behavior Analysis
Comodo Internet Security features an advanced protocol driver level protection - essential for the defense of your PC against Trojans that run their own protocol drivers.
Cloud Based Behavior Analysis
Comodo Internet Security features a cloud based analysis of unrecognized files, in which any file that is not recognized and not in Comodo's white-list will be sent to Comodo Instant Malware Analysis (CIMA) server for behavior analysis. Each file is executed in a virtual environment on Comodo servers and tested to determine whether it contains any malicious code. The results will be sent back to your computer in around 15 minutes.
Event logging
Comodo Internet Security features a vastly improved log management module - allowing users to export records of Antivirus, Firewall and Defense+ activities according to several user-defined filters. Beginners and advanced users alike are greatly benefited from this essential troubleshooting feature.
Memory Firewall Integration
Comodo Internet Security includes the buffer-overflow protection of Comodo Memory Firewall. On the attempt of a buffer overflow attack, CIS raises a pop-up alert. This provides protection against data theft, computer crashes and system damage, which are possible consequences of a buffer overflow attack.
'Training Mode' and 'Clean PC' Mode
These modes enable the firewall and host intrusion prevention systems to automatically create 'allow' rules for new components of applications you have decided to trust, so you won't receive pointless alerts for those programs you trust. The firewall learns how they work and only warn you when it detects truly suspicious behavior.
Application Recognition Database (Extensive and proprietary application safe list)
The Firewall includes an extensive white-list of safe executables called the 'Comodo Safe-List Database'. This database checks the integrity of every executable and the Firewall alerts you of potentially damaging applications before they are installed. This level of protection is new because traditionally firewalls only detect harmful applications from a blacklist of known malware - often-missing new forms of malware as might be launched in day zero attacks.
The Firewall is continually updated and currently over 1,000,000 applications are in Comodo Safe list, representing virtually one of the largest safe lists within the security industry.
Self Protection against Critical Process Termination
Viruses and Trojans often try to disable your computer's security applications so that they can operate without detection. CIS protects its own registry entries, system files and processes so malware can never shut it down or sabotage the installation.
Sandboxing as a security feature
Comodo Internet Security's new sandbox is an isolated operating environment for unknown and untrusted applications. Running an application in the sandbox means that it cannot make permanent changes to other processes, programs or data on your 'real' system. Comodo have integrated sandboxing technology directly into the security architecture of CIS to complement and strengthen the Firewall, Defense+ and Antivirus modules.
Submit Suspicious Files to Comodo
Are you the first victim of a brand new type of spyware? Users can help combat zero-hour threats by using the built in submit feature to send files to Comodo for analysis. Comodo then analyzes the files for any potential threats and update our database for all users.
