San Francisco, CA - March 31, 2004—Zone Labs® Inc., the most trusted provider of endpoint security solutions, today announced that SC Magazine has selected two Zone Labs solutions as finalists in the eighth annual SC Magazine Global Awards 2004. Zone Labs Integrity™ is a finalist in the Best Enterprise Security Solution category and ZoneAlarm® Pro is a finalist in the Best Small Office/ Home Office Security Solution category.

The Best Enterprise Security Solution and Best Small Office/ Home Office Security Solution categories are voted on by the SC Awards Council, made up of 100 senior information technology professionals around the world who understand the security challenges of large organizations, as well as small businesses, and recognize the potential cost for major disasters arising from security breaches.

The winners of the Judges' Awards, along with the Reader Trust and Principal Award categories, will be announced on April 27 at the SC Magazine Awards Ceremony and gala dinner held at the Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane, in London.

"We are honored the SC Awards council chose to include Zone Labs solutions in the prestigious Judges' Awards categories," said Frederick Felman, vice president of marketing for Zone Labs. "SC Magazine's inclusion of two different products from Zone Labs further validates the critical need for strong endpoint protection across the board, from the large enterprise to the small/ home office."

Zone Labs Integrity was chosen as one of five finalists from over 100 enterprise solutions. Zone Labs Integrity, which is used by more than 1,300 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.

Zone Labs' award-winning consumer solutions protect more than 25 million Internet users from Internet-borne threats including, worms, Trojans, spyware, malicious e-mail attachments and identity theft. ZoneAlarm Pro combines the strongest security, ease of use and powerful online privacy protection, including ad blocking and cookie control capabilities, with simple set-up for small or home office users.
