SYGATE
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. OFFERS ITS LEADING INTERNET-SHARING SOFTWARE
TO ZONE ALARM PRO CUSTOMERS AT A SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL RATE
Fremont,
CALIF.¾November
20, 2000 - Sygate®
Technologies, Inc. (formerly Sybergen Networks), a leading
provider of Internet security and access management solutions
for the mobile enterprise generation, today announced that
it will offer its leading Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
software, Sygate Home NetworkTM (formerly SyGate® for Home
Office) to all Zone Alarm Pro customers at a 20%
discount through December 31, 2000, with free upgrades,
patches and access to new features for a complete year.
The
promotion was developed in response to the release of Zone
Alarm Pro, a new personal firewall product that supports Internet
connection sharing functionality; and is designed to offer
Zone Alarm users' the ability to simply and affordably share
a single Internet connection with more computers and users
in the highest security mode possible with Sygate.
"Now
that Zone Alarm supports ICS (Internet connection sharing),
we'd like to offer users Sygate Home Network, the industry-leading
and Internet connection sharing software. Now users can maintain
security while sharing their secured Internet connections.
They can add as many users as they want, and don't need to
pay for additional phone lines or ISP services," stated Babak
Salimi, director product marketing at Sygate. "This promotional
program is one more example of Sygate Technologies' belief
that seamless connectivity and network security are inseparable
issues. We're offering Zone Alarm and Sygate customers alike
the opportunity to share their secure, always-on Internet
connection with more computers and users."
Sygate's
technology interoperates with Zone Alarm Pro so seamlessly
that it allows Zone Alarm and Sygate Home Network to work
together in the highest security mode. All other Internet
connection sharing solutions will only interoperate with Zone
Alarm Pro in a less secure mode.
Sygate
Home Network 4.0, the NAT-based Internet connection sharing
software, is the world's leading and easiest-to-use Internet
connection sharing software, with more than two million users.
Sygate Home Network 4.0 connects multiple users and computers
using only one dial-up or broadband Internet connection. Sygate
Home Network provides a robust and secure Internet access
sharing solution for the home, SOHO and small business market.
The new 4.0 version features Sygate's patent pending OneNICTM
technology, which significantly simplifies the process of
sharing cable modem and DSL connections for home and SOHO
users. With Sygate's innovative OneNIC technology, Zone Alarm
users will not need to install a second network adaptor to
share an Internet connection.
Other
new features in Sygate Home Network 4.0 include enhanced installation
functionality, expanded upgradability, an improved graphic
user interface (GUI), PPPoE support (IP Fragment support),
compatibility with Sygate Personal FirewallTM 2.1 (formerly
Sybergen Secure Desktop) and all upcoming versions of Sygate
Personal Firewall. Sygate Home Network is highly configurable
with any application and supports all major operating systems,
including Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Linux.
Sygate
Home Network 4.0 is regularly priced from $47.95 for a three-user
license, $83.95 for a six-user license and $143.95 for a ten-user
license. Under this special promotion, a three-user license
will be $38.35, a six-user license $67.15, and a ten-user
license will be $115.15. Sygate Home Network 4.0 is available
for purchase through a secure online web server by using VISA,
MasterCard and American Express.
In
addition to its special offer
to Zone Alarm Pro users, Sygate Technologies will also offer
a 50% discount on Sygate Home Network to its existing Sygate
Personal Firewall (formerly Sybergen Secure DesktopTM) customers
through December 31, 2000.
