New Integrity Clientless Security 2.0 Closes the Gap on Network Security Risks from New Network Access Technologies

Zone Labs Enterprise Security Solutions Provide Total Access Protection for All Corporate Users—Employee and Non-employee, Remote and Local, Wired and Wireless

San Francisco, CA - April 26, 2004—Zone Labs®, the most trusted provider of endpoint security solutions, today announced the immediate availability of Zone Labs Integrity™ Clientless Security 2.0, a new version of the company's innovative solution for protecting enterprise networks from threats posed by guest and third-party PCs. Without requiring client software installation, Integrity Clientless Security is the only solution able to both enforce corporate security policy as well as detect and disable spyware before granting network access. The new features in Integrity Clientless Security 2.0 help enterprises to eliminate the threats of ID and password theft and data loss, while preserving user and IT productivity.

"With so much uncertainty surrounding the security of endpoints that are outside enterprise IT control yet need to access to the corporate network, a solution such as Integrity Clientless Security is a necessity," said Kurt Borg, director of IT and logistics, Solar Integrated Technologies. "Integrity Clientless Security provides us with both the flexibility and strong security we need as a growing company. Remote and third-party PCs are now one less security challenge for our company."

Integrity Clientless Security mitigates the newest class of risks posed by unknown PCs accessing the enterprise network via the web and SSL VPNs. With Integrity Clientless Security, enterprises can enforce security policy on third-party PCs and kiosks that have access to the network. When used in conjunction with Integrity's client-based solutions, Integrity Clientless Security is a pillar of Total Access Protection, an industry first from Zone Labs. With Total Access Protection, all enterprise network endpoints --employee and guest PCs, remote and local PCs, wired and wireless PCs-- can be protected by Zone Labs' market-leading security solutions.

"Integrity Clientless Security elevates Zone Labs' best-in-class endpoint security to a new level, allowing IT to significantly decrease the risk inherent in third-party PC access," said Frederick Felman, vice president, marketing, Zone Labs. "Integrity Clientless Security proactively closes holes in enterprise security, arresting the spread of malicious programs that often originate from compromised, non-IT controlled PCs with network access."

Network Access Policy Enforcement
Integrity Clientless Security 2.0 prevents non-compliant, third-party PCs from compromising enterprise security by blocking network access if the PC fails to meet administrator-selected requirements, such as running up-to-date firewall and antivirus solutions or installing critical software patches. To alleviate the burden to IT of bringing PCs into compliance, Integrity Clientless Security offers customizable remediation resources to help users gain network access privileges easily, quickly, and safely, maintaining both user and IT productivity.

Spyware Detection and Remediation
Integrity Clientless Security locates, and now disables, spyware and other undesirable software on remote access PCs as well as offers end users guidance on the removal of the offending programs. Every time a user attempts to log into a web-based enterprise application such as Microsoft Outlook Web Access, or a web-based gateway such as an SSL VPN, Integrity Clientless Security transparently scans the PC, allowing immediate log-in if no malicious software is detected. If undesirable software such as keystroke loggers, Trojan horses, worms or hacker tools is detected, the new disablement feature terminates the unapproved processes prior to log-in.

Simple Deployment and Maintenance
Integrity Clientless Security makes it easy for IT to secure third-party PCs that access the enterprise network because it does not require client software installation. Integrity Clientless Security 2.0 helps security administrators create enforcement policies and manage network access risks by providing Event and Compliance Logs for analysis.

Zone Labs Integrity, which is used by more than 1,400 enterprises, protects networks from security vulnerabilities, malicious code and targeted attacks by using a proactive security approach rather than the traditional, reactive methods that depend on antivirus updates and software patches. Integrity's combination of robust, multi-layered client-protective mechanisms and centrally managed security policy enforcement prevents threats from penetrating the network, halting propagation and further damage.
