Zoom Selects Aladdin's eSafe Protect Desktop to Secure the HomeLAN
Aladdin's award-winning eSafe Protect Desktop is now included with the new Zoom HomeLAN PCI Networking Product, offering necessary Virus and Vandal protection to Zoom's customers
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 1999-- Aladdin Knowledge Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALDN - news), a global leader in the field of information security, today announced an agreement with Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOM - news), a leading communications hardware manufacturer, to provide Zoom's HomeLAN customers with complete anti-virus protection.
Aladdin's award-winning Internet security product, eSafe Protect Desktop, is being included with Zoom/HomeLAN(TM) PCI, which provides for simple networking of multiple PC's in a home. Zoom HomeLAN PCI allows simultaneous shared Internet access, swapping files, sharing equipment such as data drives and printers, and playing networked computer games - all through existing phone line wires.
''Zoom's modem and network products connect millions of people to the Internet and we want to protect our customers from threatening new viruses such as Melissa and CIH that are surfacing almost every month,'' said Ed English, Director of Software for Zoom. ''It is a fact of Internet life that computer users need solid protection against viruses and we chose Aladdin's eSafe solution in part because of it's proven effectiveness in shielding its customers from these recent viruses.''
Home computer users, the primary customers of Zoom/HomeLAN, will benefit particularly from this integrated solution as many of those hit by the threatening CIH virus came from this segment of the population.
''Aladdin's software security products have proven to be effective in combating viruses, but what really differentiates eSafe Protect is the protection it provides to users from vandals, which are hostile downloadables that slip past most virus scanners,'' said Yanki Margalit, CEO of Aladdin Knowledge Systems, Inc. ''Zoom customers will enjoy safer Web interactions as a result of our comprehensive security solution.''
''eSafe Protect provides simple installation and industrial strength virus protection,'' continued Mr. English. ''Zoom's customers will find it easy to safeguard their computers from new viruses, by quickly downloading the latest security software from the eSafe web site.'' (www.esafe.com/ download.html)
