Verizon Online Beefs up its Security Services With New Cyber Locks

by Donna Buenaventura Mar 23, 2004 8:51AM PST

Safekeeping Steps Include Separate Online Storage, New Spam-Fighting Block and Security Software From MSN Premium

Computers crash. Hard drives melt down. And one virus can erase hundreds of files, photos and music in a nanosecond.

So Verizon Online is making it easier for residential customers to back up important data in a separate storage server to help protect it from hackers, viruses and hard-drive crashes. Additionally, Verizon Online has closed its network to illegal e-mails and offers firewall and virus protection through MSN Premium, at no additional charge.

"Today's digital family needs help staying organized and protecting important data," said Frank Nelson, director -- product management for Verizon
Online. "To preserve keepsakes like home movies of baby's first steps, last year's tax returns, and yesterday's masterfully mixed MP3, Verizon Online is
offering secure backup services and storage. We're also introducing security protection to help protect customers from spam, viruses and worms."
