From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
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. For more information on ForceField, please visit http://www.zonealarm.com/zaff.
The ZoneAlarm ForceField promotion begins at 6 a.m. PDT on Tuesday,
August 12 and ends at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, August 13. The offer includes
a full year license for one PC, and is limited to only one download per
customer. As part of the promotion Check Point will also offer 3-user
family pack of ForceField for a special price of USD 19.95 (a USD 49.90
value). To take advantage of this promotion or for more information,
