Check Point to Offer ZoneAlarm ForceField Free to Consumers on Patch Tuesday
August 11 2008 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Check Point� Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that the
company will give away free full versions of ZoneAlarm� ForceField�
on Tuesday, August 12, starting at 6 a.m. PDT. The promotion will
last for 24 hours, running concurrently with Microsoft�s Patch
Tuesday � the day Microsoft releases its latest browser and
operating system patches for Windows PCs. To take advantage of the
award-winning protection of Check Point�s ZoneAlarm ForceField,
users can click on www.zonealarm.com/patchtuesday. A number of
recent studies show that over half of all Web sites, including many
of the leading search, social networking and shopping sites are
infested with some form of malware, which work by taking advantage
of browser or operating system vulnerabilities. Even well-known,
normally safe Web sites have recently been hacked leaving Internet
users without browser security vulnerable until patches are
released. Once new browser vulnerabilities have been discovered,
they can be exploited almost immediately. Unfortunately, there is a
time lapse before a patch can be deployed. ForceField protects
against the latest threats and closes an attacker�s window of
opportunity by providing immediate protection. This demonstrates
that patching alone is not enough and that layered protection is
the best defense. �We wanted to emphasize the importance of putting
a series of safety practices into place when consumers surf the
Web,� said Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager for
Check Point�s ZoneAlarm consumer division. �Keeping patches
up-to-date is vital for maintaining optimal Web security -- but is
not enough -- which is why employing a browser security solution
such as ZoneAlarm ForceField is critical.� ZoneAlarm ForceField is
the industry�s first comprehensive, virtualized browser security
solution enabling consumers to bank and shop online, or surf the
Internet without fear or limitation. Virtualized browsing places a
two-way �bubble of security� around the browser, preventing
drive-by-downloads, unwanted malware and other Web threats from
damaging users� PCs or from stealing users� private information.
