Its rules-based personal firewall engine resides on the device, is easy to configure and customize, and protects against multiple attacks. In addition, the solution provides real-time logging and alerting of all device-level activities, which allow administrators and end-users to detect intrusions and identify attack methods for quick and effective problem isolation.
The Samsung i700 offers users the advanced features of a Samsung wireless phone combined with access to popular and familiar mobile versions of Microsoft's Pocket Outlook(R), Pocket Internet Explorer, Pocket Word and Pocket Excel.
