BANGALORE / MUMBAI, India - January 24, 2013
ESET, global provider of security solutions for businesses and consumer, has earned the "Gold Award" for anti-phishing protection from AV-Comparatives, an independent testing authority - as reported in their annual report.
The
advanced Anti-Phishing Module was been introduced in the sixth
generation of ESET Smart Security with the latest, seventh version,
offering enhanced anti-phishing protection. Anti-Phishing technology
protects one from attempts to acquire passwords, banking data and other
sensitive information by fake websites masquerading as legitimate ones.
The dedicated module includes an extended database of phishing sites as
well as verified reports by users and partners.
The
Anti-phishing database is updated by ESET regularly (users' computers
receive data about new phishing threats every 20 minutes) and this
database includes information from the partners as well. Along this
straightforward approach, ESET Anti-Phishing implements specific
proactive algorithms. These inspect the visual design of websites in an
effort to eliminate those acting as parasites on their genuine
counterparts. This approach is used to detect for example fake internet
banking forms.
"Phishing
websites attempt to steal money from their victims without making any
changes to the computer or device being used to access them. A security
product that warns of known/suspected phishing sites can protect the
user from fraud," states AV-Comparatives and continues that ESET
flagship security product ESET Smart Security has blocked the most
phishing websites in their tests - 99%. "We found the interface of
ESET Smart Security 7 to be excellent. The program is, in our opinion,
very clear and easy to use, even on a touchscreen device," concludes AV-Comparatives it's analysis.
Mr Pankaj Jain, Director at ESET said, "We
are very happy to see the progress of ESET Smart Security 7 gaining
good recognition with its key highlights like advanced memory scanner, Exploit Blocker and Vulnerability Shield.
We would really thank our researchers who are working very hard to
deliver quality products which protects the critical assets of the
company."
