NEW ZONE LABS INTEGRITY 5.0 PROVIDES ADVANCED INTEGRATION WITH CHECK POINT; BEST-IN-CLASS SECURITY SOLUTION OFFERS BROADEST POLICY ENFORCEMENT CAPABILITIES FOR TODAY'S BORDERLESS ENTERPRISE

Zone Labs(R) Inc., the most trusted provider of endpoint security solutions, today announced Zone Labs Integrity(TM) 5.0, a new version of the company's best-in-class, centrally-managed endpoint security solution. Integrity 5.0 offers the most comprehensive policy enforcement in any network environment and now provides enhanced integration with Check Point as well as expanded 802.1x support. Integrity 5.0 strengthens its proactive security capabilities, further reducing the window of opportunity for 'zero-day' threats like MyDoom to proliferate.

Significantly enhanced administration and reporting features in Integrity 5.0 free IT resources while improvements to Integrity IM Security(TM) allows enterprises to have greater confidence that their employees' use of public instant messaging (IM) services are not creating vulnerabilities in the corporate network.

"The challenge of enforcing security policy consistently across the enterprise has increased exponentially as new and diverse network access methods have introduced new exposure to vulnerability," said Eric Ogren, senior analyst, Yankee Group. "The breadth and scope of policy enforcement in Integrity gives enterprises a new arrow in their security quiver to mitigate these newfound risks."

As networks face attacks from fast-spreading and increasingly complex hybrid threats such as MyDoom and Sobig.F, administrators require more robust weapons in the fight against hackers and malware. Zone Labs Integrity, which protects more than 1,100 enterprises, offers the broadest security policy enforcement for today's borderless enterprise, drastically reducing exposure to vulnerabilities, malicious code and targeted attacks. Zone Labs' proactive approach to security allows employees to remain protected as well as productive, whether accessing the network from inside or outside the corporate perimeter, using a wireless or wired connection.

"Today's security-savvy enterprises require the flexibility to develop best-of-breed solutions that meet their goals and needs while safeguarding their networks from ever-evolving security hazards," said Frederick Felman, vice president of marketing, Zone Labs. "Zone Labs integrates with more network gateways than any other endpoint security solution while offering the flexibility and scalability that enterprises demand."

Expanded Policy Enforcement with Check Point and Leading 802.1x Vendors

Zone Labs unique Cooperative Enforcement technology provides the safest remote access by guaranteeing up-to-date endpoint security policies are in force before allowing network access. Integrity 5.0 expands integration with the Check Point perimeter firewall and VPN, ensuring that VPN connections are made only to trusted and secured PCs.

Enterprises deploying Integrity are also able to enforce policy compliance as a prerequisite to network access on the widest range of 802.1x-enabled devices. Integrity is certified with leading 802.1x solution providers including Enterasys, Cisco, Funk, Aruba, and Microsoft.

In addition to the broadest range of supported platforms, Integrity 5.0 provides the widest spectrum of enforceable policies. Integrity 5.0 adds support for critical patches and service packs to its existing roster of up-to-date anti-virus, registry keys and memory processes. As a result, Integrity 5.0 gives security administrators the most comprehensive means of creating policy to control network access and eliminate risks from vulnerable software and misconfigured machines.

Enhanced Administrative Control and Efficiency

Integrity 5.0 includes enhanced reports that provide more fine-grained insight into a broader range of security events. Administrators may view a suite of new client activity reports, including graphs, as well as expanded detail about application usage or security events, such as users with the most security alerts.

Greater Anti-virus Enforcement Options

Integrity 5.0 now offers administrators the ability to design security policy that includes a range of administrator-approved, up-to-date anti-virus products rather than a single approved product. Integrity adds Computer Associates and Sophos automated anti-virus enforcement to its existing support for Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro solutions. To eliminate the labor-intensive need to manually gather and update anti-virus policy data, Integrity 5.0 gathers signature file updates from a reference PC automatically and deploys these new policies immediately so that end-users can come into compliance quickly.

Secure Instant Messaging

As a complement to Integrity 5.0, Zone Labs will also introduce Integrity IM Security 5.0, which now supports ICQ in addition to existing protection for AOL, Yahoo, and MSN services. Unlike traditional approaches to instant messaging security which require proxy servers and are unable to protect remote users, Zone Labs takes a client-centric approach to protecting PCs using IM. As a result, enterprises can easily add IM protection to their existing security infrastructure, retaining the benefits and flexibility that public IM services provide while eliminating the need for costly retraining or installation of proprietary IM solutions.

Integrity IM Security 5.0 allows enterprises to stop hackers from using ICQ as a means of communication for Trojans horses, eliminating a major IM vulnerability. As an additional security precaution, IM Security 5.0 allows administrators to decide which file extensions or links can be transferred over IM, thus prohibiting more dangerous transfers and defeating attempts to lure employees to malicious sites.

Pricing, Availability and System Information

Zone Labs Integrity 5.0 will be available for purchase from Zone Labs and from Zone Labs Authorized Resellers in the Spring of 2004. Pricing for Zone Labs Integrity 5.0 varies depending upon volume purchased and configuration, with pricing beginning at $65 per seat, with an Integrity server license included. Pricing for the optional IM security module in Integrity 5.0 starts at $20 per seat, with volume discounts available.
