Maintains continuity, prevents malicious attacks, and offers helpful configuration capabilities
What we have noticed is that ZoneAlarm presents updates regularly in a certain part, however, having many updates still means that the tool is not yet 100%. For the moment, it is fulfilling the necessary functions for which it was acquired and has not has provided us with anti-malware, ransomware security. This has helped us to prevent malicious attacks on our employees who have their own device and with this solution, we have maintained the continuity of the company without any penetration or theft of sensitive information. Its installation and configuration are very interactive however, there are some confusing points. That is where the documentation is not very clear and precise.
