All-New Suite Integrates Cloud-Based Threat Protection with Identity Management and Secure Access to Personal Files and Passwords � Anytime, Anywhere New Product Introduced With Latest Releases of Webroot Internet Security Essentials and Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper�
Bracknell, UK, July 26, 2010 � Webroot, the first Internet security service company, today announced the availability of Webroot� Internet Security Complete, the company�s newest consumer offering. Webroot Internet Security Complete introduces the most comprehensive protection for today�s Internet user, integrating Webroot�s enterprise-class cloud protection with technologies that secure what consumers care about the most: identity, privacy and personal data.
�Security and privacy on the Web are becoming more complex � we�re performing more personal transactions online, from an expanding number of locations and devices,� said Mike Kronenberg, chief technology officer at Webroot. �At the same time, Webroot is seeing more than 40,000 new threats emerge every day. Traditional desktop security alone can�t protect consumers in today�s threat landscape. Webroot Internet Security Complete addresses these critical issues by delivering unparalleled Web-based protection that protects the person rather than the PC.�
�For consumers, Security as a Service (SaaS) is the future of security,� said Charles Kolodgy, research vice president for Security Products at IDC. �With consumers facing increasingly sophisticated attacks spawned by malware from legitimate Web sites, a comprehensive approach is needed that provides quick defense against new threats. As worldwide cyber-crime increases, SaaS potentially provides Internet users with comprehensive, near real-time protection across applications and Web activities. Webroot addresses this need with its SaaS product; furthermore, it enables portability for user data by allowing the transfer of important files between computers and other devices. This means that users can access data and applications from anywhere, without compromising security.�
A standard one-year subscription of Webroot Internet Security Complete protects up to three PCs for $79.95/�49.99. Customers can upgrade their accounts for more storage, PCs secured and credit cards monitored for an additional cost.
All of Webroot�s consumer products include free local phone support for 1 year; free 24/7 email and Web assistance; and program and definition updates for the life of the subscription. Each of these products is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems.
