San Diego, Calif. -- SANS Network Security 2001 Conference, Booth #219 - Oct 16, 2001 - Zone Labs Inc., a leading creator of Internet security solutions, today announced the launch of the Zone Labs Authorized Reseller Program. The new program is designed to provide security resellers with the necessary resources to implement and manage a Zone Labs security solution as well as to create new revenue and market opportunities.

The Authorized Reseller Program supplements these partners' security expertise with comprehensive training and certification on Zone Labs' ZoneAlarm Pro and Integrity products, ensuring that resellers are equipped to offer customers the most thorough and up-to-date security solutions and advice. In addition, Zone Labs will support resellers by passing qualified sales leads to them as well as help them sign customers by providing the resellers with dedicated sales and technical support resources.

"Zone Labs recognizes the complexity of security sales and that professional services can be key to meeting the needs of enterprise customers," said Bruce Elder, vice president of enterprise sales and services, Zone Labs. "The industry accolades that our innovative technology has earned, along with its proven ability to build a trusted distributed computing environment, give us a strong foundation for a successful reseller program in North America and eventually in international markets as well."

Among the services provided, the reseller program includes co-marketing and promotional materials. A link to each Authorized Resellers' site will be featured on Zone Labs' web site, which receives in excess of two million visitors every month. Qualified partners also will benefit from support and services such as Zone Lab's systems administrator training courses.

"Our customers demand expert knowledge, top quality service and the best technology solutions to meet their security needs," said Keith Mathis, senior corporate account manager, Technology Integration Group. "As a member of Zone Labs' Authorized Reseller Program, we are able to offer award-winning security technology combined with our expertise, resulting in powerful protection for all endpoint PCs accessing the enterprise network."
