FortiClient 5.0 - darmowy pakiet od Fortinet

[ichito]

Odświeżam temat, bo pojawiła się nowa wersja oznaczona numerem 5.6.2...program przynosi nowości w oferowanej ochronie, zapowiadane są również kolejne w następnych wydaniach. Sporo cytatów, niestety bez własnych obserwacji, bo program nie obsługuje już XP i Visty...szkoda.
Cytuję w całości dwa posty, bo obfitują w istotne informacje

What’s New in FortiClient (Windows) 5.6.1


This section identifies the new features and enhancements in FortiClient (Windows) 5.6.1. For more information, see the FortiClient Administration Guide.

Anti-exploit detection

The anti-exploit detection feature helps protect vulnerable endpoints from unknown exploit attacks. FortiClient monitors the behavior of popular applications, such as web browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, FireFox, Opera), Java/Flash plug-ins, Microsoft Office applications, and PDF readers, against exploits that use zero-day or unpatched vulnerabilities to infect the endpoint. Once detected, the compromised application process is terminated. The anti-exploit detection feature also helps protect against memory-based attacks and drive-by download attacks. It also detects and blocks unknown and known exploit kits. It is a signature-less solution.

Share endpoint user's social IDs with FortiAnalyzer

When FortiClient is in managed mode, details from cloud applications about endpoint users are sent to FortiAnalyzer. Before the information can be sent, the endpoint user must add the information to FortiClient by logging into a cloud application.

Support for FortiSandbox authorization

Administrators can now enforce that only authorized FortiClient endpoints can connect to their FortiSandbox.

Improvements to VPN auto connect

Various improvements and bug fixes have been made to improve the reliability and function of the VPN auto-connect feature

I hinted a few months ago big things were coming for Forticlient, many have arrived already but more are still to come. Also note, you can 'fully' disable all telemetry/logging in Forticlient now, rendering a totally private/anonymous security solution, possibly the best in this area, or at least second only to Emsisoft in the privacy of your files/systems. They've added checkboxes to disable telemetry and disable logging at the granular level.

There are three levels of protection available with Forticlient. Starting from basic all the way up; (in the current 5.6.X release cycle)

Free Protection-
Web Filtration (very potent, perhaps the best web scanning in the world)
Antivirus (including the ability to enable extreme signatures, advanced heuristics in INI file)
Anti-Botnet/Anti-CC Protection (blocking communication to all known botnet domains and botnet ports)
Anti-Exploit (new feature, protects Windows, Windows Programs, Browsers, third party stuff like flash, java, PDF viewers, etc)
Vulnerability Protection (discovers and remedies system vulnerabilities, undiscovered vulns, etc)
Bitcoin Miner Protection

Protection if you have a Fortigate device on-network- (Everything mentioned previously in addition to)
Secured VPN
Secured Updates/Vuln/Monitoring (regardless if endpoint is in-network, or taken offsite, provides secured channel back to Fortigate)
Secured Local Updating (updates pushed from Fortigate, Fortigate validates updates, eliminates update hijacking, etc)
Management of Endpoints (scanning, vuln checks, etc)
Compliance Audit (audits endpoints via the Fortigate for compliance with network rules)

Protection if you have a Fortigate device on-network AND a Fortisandbox- (everything mentioned in previous two categories in addition to)
Behavioral Blocker
Machine Learning and Advanced Threat Protection (previously unknown threats, no-sigs)
Sandbox Evaluation and APT Detection (no-sigs, evaluates all downloaded/transmitted files in realtime sandbox)

Features coming soon in free version include DNS Protection and Certificate Validation in realtime on websites. At this point, I personally feel this may be the best free solution all things considered. It's certainly first on my list to recommend to friends/family that demand a free solution and has proven itself protecting some of the most clicker-heavy relatives I have.
