Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security earns Best+++ Award from AVLab Test

By Lloyd Tanaka, Product Marketing Manager, Threat Prevention, April 8th 2019

In February of this year, AVLab performed comprehensive tests to determine which of 27 Windows 10 security solutions could best defend against a series of simulated online banking operation attacks. ZoneAlarm Extreme Security passed with flying colors, scoring a perfect 11 for 11 passed tests, receiving the firm’s prestigious Best+++ Award recommendation.

AVLab Test System

All products were tested according to AVLab’s specific, standardized procedures and the results are fully audited. The test followed these steps:

1. Installation of the tested solution on previously prepared image of Windows 10.
2. Sequential launching procedures (malware was downloaded to the system through the Chrome browser from a temporary server).
3. Repeating the tests on the modified settings.
4. Writing down the results.

AVLab challenged each solution to detect thirteen banking Trojans in the wild as well as defend against clipboard hijacking and swapping, keylogger, screenshot, RAM scraping, man-in-the-middle, HOSTS modifying, among other attacks.

ZoneAlarm Extreme Security detected all attacks. In their write-up, AVLab highlighted several ZoneAlarm capabilities:

• Threat Emulation to protect against new encryption malware
• Firewall that protects against modifying HOSTS files and ability to thwart internet attacks
• Browser protection with the ThreatCloud intelligence database
