Your Voice Matters: What you wanted and what's in the works

Your Voice Matters: What you wanted and what's in the works

Our customers are some of the best in the field, and they demand the best from us. This is precisely why our customers love Zenarmor’s home subscription. It’s widely regarded as the top solution on the market that delivers enterprise-grade protection, even for home and home lab environments. However, this also presents us with a unique challenge: how do we continue offering enterprise-level protection at a home-lab price point while ensuring that the home lab tier is used solely for personal, non-commercial purposes?
