Check Point ZoneAlarm 2015 Introduces Protection for Undiscovered Threats
April 2014 by Marc Jacob
Check Point has announced the launch of its new ZoneAlarm 2015 security product line, redesigned to thwart a new generation of online threats and advanced Web-based malware.
ZoneAlarm 2015 has new features to protect consumers. For the first time, advanced sandboxing technology is being offered for consumers through the Threat Emulation feature. Undiscovered threats are often hidden in email attachments and downloads; in fact, nearly one in 25 email attachments are malicious1. Threat Emulation checks email attachment files such as Microsoft Office and PDF files in a virtual cloud sandbox, and if a file is malicious, the user is alerted to delete it.
The new 2015 product line also includes Enhanced Browser Protection, which scans websites for threats before malware can even reach a users’ browser. Recent independent tests through AV-TEST showed that ZoneAlarm 2015 Extreme Security protected against 100% of threats in real-world testing. Previously tested competitive products protected against an average of 94% of threats.2
In addition to defending against online threats, ZoneAlarm 2015 also protects against the physical threats to consumer devices through the new Find My Laptop feature. With Find My Laptop, users will be able to track down their lost or stolen laptops utilising maps and tracking technologies. The feature can also retrieve files, lock down access, send a message to the thief or finder, and even take photos from the webcam.
