Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd., the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, announced that ZoneAlarm® Internet Security Suite has received the VB100 Award from Virus Bulletin. In the publication’s April comparative review, conducted on Windows Vista Business Edition SP1, 37 products were tested, only 18 of which won the VB100 award.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite’s award-winning antivirus engine detects and removes threats with hourly signature updates, expanded coverage, and rapid detection to find and remove even the most recent and aggressive viruses.
Robust anti-spyware provides an additional layer of defense against blended threats, and ZoneAlarm’s state-of-the-art Operating System Firewall provides proactive protection against zero day threats. ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite also includes a comprehensive network firewall, as well as anti-spam, anti-phishing and identity theft protection.
The core technology that powers ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite is also utilized by Check Point Endpoint Security™, the first single agent for total endpoint security that combines the highest-rated firewall, network access control (NAC), program control, antivirus, anti-spyware, data security, and remote access. Check Point’s virus and malware detection and removal are based on a combination of signatures, behavior blockers, and heuristic analysis, featuring the highest detection rates and hourly signature updates.
“With nothing missed in the Wild List set, and precious little elsewhere, and nothing more than a few warnings of possibly unwanted items in the clean set, Check Point’s product wins itself its first VB100 award at the first attempt, without even breaking into a sweat,” said John Hawes of Virus Bulletin.
“Virus Bulletin is one of the security industry’s most respected and trusted organizations, making this accolade a very important one for Check Point,” said Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager of Check Point’s ZoneAlarm consumer division. “We are pleased to be able to utilize this award as a further proof point to our customers that our products are providing them with the very best protection.”
