SkyRecon Systems has launched StormShield Personal Edition, a free protection software developed from its industry leading professional product.
19 Oct 2010 SkyRecon Systems, the premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint security solutions, today announced the launch of StormShield Personal Edition. StormShield Personal Edition is a free security software for non-commercial use which is revolutionizing the protection market for home PCs. With no equivalent solution on the market, StormShield Personal Edition provides protection for most PCs against multiple and daily attacks faced by Internet users. A recent study showed that every 14 seconds, a Web page is infected, which amounts to 6,000 infected Web pages per day (source: The Register). As a result, Internet users are highly exposed to cyber-criminality and must protect their data and computer from unrelenting, varied and virulent attacks. This phenomenon is amplified by the relative ineffectiveness of traditional protections, by the growing number of hackers and by the lack of knowledge of Internet users about the type of risks encountered. In this context, SkyRecon has opted for consumer evangelism and true effectiveness by launching StormShield Personal Edition. This application allows the general public to benefit from the same proactive protection as professionals using the Host IPS feature included with StormShield Endpoint Security. StormShield Personal Edition offers protection against major risks affecting Internet navigation, the operating system and applications through its key features:
StormShield Personal Edition also provides activity logs in order to monitor the operations performed on the computer and assess the computer security level. Based on an intelligent detection mechanism and not on traditional signature-based technology, StormShield Personal Edition is capable of detecting any program with abnormal behavior on a PC and of instantly blocking it before it is executed. Viruses, spyware, Trojan horses and other malware are blocked from connecting to your computer. Your personal information is kept secure, safely on your computer and remains your property. Designed for the general public, the StormShield Personal Edition solution requires no technical knowledge to operate and is easily installed on a PC. You can freely download it at: http://www.skyrecon.com/en/Free-download-StormShield-Personal-Edition. StormShield Personal Edition is now available to individuals using a PC running the 32-bit version of Windows. The 64-bit version will be available very soon! « StormShield Personal Edition is an effective tool for protection against attacks on the Internet, and, to a broader extent, against cybercriminals. At present, no product matching our solution is free on the market. StormShield Personal Edition will enable the general public to benefit from an application recognized for its performance in a professional context. It takes less than one minute to install StormShield Personal Edition and protect your computer against attacks commonly used on the Web to steal valuable personal data – such as credit card numbers – and against the propagation of new breeds of viruses and malware. Internet users can now surf the Internet with total peace of mind », said Jérôme Robert, Product Marketing Manager at SkyRecon Systems, Inc. About SkyRecon Systems Inc.
