New Suite Now Includes Website Authentication/Anti-Phishing, Integrated Parental Controls, Data Backup and Transfer.
United States of America (Press Release) September 21, 2007 --
CA announced the immediate availability of its 2008 line of Internet security and desktop management products for the home and home office. The new line provides a stronger line of defense against the latest online threats including identity theft, viruses, spyware, spam, and phishing. Its flagship product, CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008, now incorporates website authentication, data backup and PC-to-PC data transfer, delivering a more robust PC security and desktop tool.
Additionally, CA has increased its identity theft and virus protection coverage up to $10,000.
"People need to make full use of the Internet without worrying about the safety of their data or their PCs," said David Luft, senior vice president of product development for CA. "Our 2008 product line delivers this assurance with more power and greater value, and includes unique bonuses like identify theft and virus coverage."
According to the CA Internet Threat Outlook Report, malware threats are projected to grow by more than 130 percent next year. CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 protects customers against these threats and offers enhanced standard features such as a Personal Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Virus, and Anti-Spam. New to CA Internet Security Suite Plus in 2008 are:
Anti-Phishing:
Helps provide protection against fraudulent and malicious websites by issuing warnings when a site is potentially unsafe, and providing an easy-to-understand risk assessment that shows the site owner, its physical address and a risk rating. Additional safeguards analyze a site's link, instant messenger clients, and web and office applications. Color-coded risk assessment indicators and data protection help guard against sending personal information to risky sites.
Data Backup and Data Transfer:
Protects files, photos, music, and PC settings through backup, restore and transfer options. A PC's "DNA" (data, settings, and preferences) can be copied to a CD, DVD, network share or an external hard drive to protect against unforeseen incidents and easily migrated to a new PC. Users can easily stream a PC's DNA directly to a new PC or create a DNA file to transfer.
Integrated Parental Controls:
Dynamic content filtering helps to ensure protection from inappropriate content at all times. Parents can safeguard children by creating up to 10 different password-protected user profiles, each with their own password-protected login, and can limit the time each child can spend on the Internet on a daily basis. New security controls help ensure that children cannot disable or uninstall the product or change their filtering profiles.

All CA security products have a small hard drive footprint allowing for efficient use of system resources and ensuring fast installation, quick scans and superior usability.
