"In the Time To Live on the Network program, Avantgarde was able to take its strong understanding of the technical security risks of personal computing and develop a demonstrative program that showed the critical need for a personal firewall. By enlisting the help of Kevin Mitnick as an expert security analyst and successfully pitching USA TODAY to cover the project, Avantgarde was not only able to show the real time for a personal computer to survive on the network but also to build a credible story and communicate it to Zone Labs' key demographic."
