to Provide Security Solution Product for Employees and Clients
Zone Labs Integrity to Protect
Network Endpoints for SAIC Clients and Employees
San Francisco, CA - March 1,
2004—Zone Labs® Inc., a provider of endpoint security
solutions, today announced an agreement with Science Applications
International Corporation (SAIC) in which SAIC will become both
a reseller and a customer of Zone Labs' endpoint security solution,
Zone Labs Integrity™. SAIC, one of the most recognized companies
in security consulting, will deploy Integrity to its more than 42,000
employees worldwide. In addition, SAIC may also resell Integrity
with the company’s managed service security offerings in remote
access, VPN, antivirus and authentication to its commercial and
government clients. SAIC's managed service offerings will address
the business need of providing a ubiquitous yet highly secure method
of accessing corporate information and systems.
"Endpoint security is an essential component
of the defenses that corporations and government agencies require
to help protect against today's increasingly aggressive worm and
hacker attacks," said Paul Chang, SAIC senior vice president.
"The technology found in Zone Labs Integrity makes it a complementary
fit for our managed services portfolio and our own enterprise network."
Zone Labs Integrity, which is used by more than 1,100
enterprises, protects networks from security vulnerabilities, malicious
code and targeted attacks, by using a 'proactive security' approach
rather than the traditional, reactive methods dependent 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, thus halting propagation and further damage.
"The need for proactive security becomes more
urgent every day as new malware proliferates more rapidly across
the Internet and associated damages increase," said Paul Weinstein,
vice president, strategic alliances, Zone Labs LLC, A Check Point Company "We are
honored that SAIC shares our commitment to provide security solutions
for both its customers and its employees."
