Press Release Summary: Latest version builds on the success of the free,
configurable, open source Firewall with improvements and new client GUI.

Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ, July 3, 2008 - Comodo, a leading security
company announced today an updated release of TrustixT Enterprise Firewall version
4.8.1 (TEF) - an enterprise class, open source LINUX-based free firewall solution.
Comodo Trustix Firewall provides robust perimeter protection to corporate networks
and delivers the highest levels of security and protection out-of-the-box. This high
performance firewall monitors network traffic and protects the network against
unauthenticated traffic or login attempts which could inject Trojans, worms, or
infected files into the network. This free, commercial version now incorporates a
powerful new anti-SPAM module for improved performance and security.

TrustixT Enterprise Firewall is acclaimed for its innovative, drag-and-drop user
interface which allows administrators to quickly set and modify complicated firewall
settings such as De-Militarized Zones (DMZ\'s) without having to program using a
command line. This powerful feature enables administrators to visualize and
configure firewall policy, DMZ\'s (up to 24 zones), port forwarding, network address
translation and virtual private network settings in a few mouse clicks. The
underlying rules generated by the program are then fully optimized before being
deployed, thereby optimizing the security and performance of your firewall\'s
architecture, and avoiding errors and duplication.

Release 4.8.1 of Trustix Enterprise Firewall contains the following new features and
improvements:

* High Availability & Load balancer: To avoid false fail-overs to a secondary
server, the heartbeat communication informs the secondary server whether the
primary server has failed is now duplicated on a serial interface The server
will only take over if both the Ethernet and serial interface heartbeats cease.
* Intrusion Detection System (IDS) - Improvements to the client make it easier
to remotely configure IDS settings and determine the source of Intrusions.
* VPN Connection - Additional Advanced Settings and other improvements make the
system more configurable and easy to manage through a remote, VPN Connection.
* Improved Client GUI - Redesigned look and feel to improve ease of use and
access to major features.

\"Comodo\'s Enterprise Trustix Firewall has earned a well-deserved reputation as a
high performance, free enterprise firewall that is highly intuitive and easy to
use,\" according to Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo.
\"This best-in-class enterprise firewall is innovative because it integrates multiple
technologies to make it feasible to deploy comprehensive security services to more
network locations. This latest release underscores Comodo\'s commitment to freely
provide the highest grade security software to both business and home users alike.\"
