Answer 1

What you need is your Firewall is recognized by the Windows Security Center. Microsoft distributes guidance about how applications from ISVs can report status to Windows Security Center under a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). To request details about how to participate in this ISV program, you must send an mail to wscisv@microsoft.com.
