What is Sygate Personal Firewall?

Sygate Personal Firewall is a Windows-based firewall solution that prioritizes system resource efficiency and reliability. Developed by Sygate Technologies, the firewall was widely regarded for its lightweight footprint and robust performance. However, the project was ultimately discontinued after Symantec Corporation acquired Sygate Technologies in 2005. As a result, Sygate Personal Firewall has been replaced by an enhanced "Smart Firewall" feature within Symantec's Norton Internet Security suite. Despite its discontinued status, Sygate Personal Firewall remains available for download from third-party software repositories, providing users with an alternative to modern firewall solutions
