ESET, a leader in proactive threat protection, today introduced ESET Smart Security, a new, integrated security solution for consumers and small-to-medium-sized businesses.

It includes antivirus, antispyware, antispam and firewall features built on ESET’s award-winning advanced heuristic ThreatSense detection system and the ESET NOD32 scanning engine.

ADAOX Middle East, the regional development center for ESET’s range of security products, launched ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 V3.0 in the Middle East region.

“We are pleased to introduce ESET’s latest state-of-the-art security solution, ESET Smart Security, to our customers in the Middle East,” said Neo Neophytou, managing director of ADAOX Middle East. “ESET has always been in the forefront in tackling known and unknown threats. ESET Smart Security is a breakthrough technology which combines antivirus, antispam, antispyware and firewall modules with ESET’s online scanner making it a comprehensive security solution which will offer users maximum security from all types of threats. We are confident ESET Smart Security will be well received in this region.” 

ESET Smart Security combines speed, accuracy and minimal computer system impact to deliver a significant improvement over traditional solutions in the marketplace today. It provides the industry’s highest level of accuracy and fewest false-positives through ESET NOD32 Antivirus. With significantly lower performance overhead compared to the competition, ESET Smart Security uses only 40MB of disk space, and scans systems up to 30-times faster than other products, he said.

“Threats no longer appear in the form of pure viruses or spam or phishing. They now come as ‘blended’ threats which require an integration and intelligence among individual security features. Smart computer users are looking for the best level of integrated protection with the minimal amount of inconvenience,” said Phil Hochmuth, senior analyst at the Yankee Group. “This drives users to look for malware solutions that provide great protection, are easy to install, don’t slow down their computers, and work completely behind the scenes.”

Unlike security suites which combine standalone products, ESET Smart Security tightly integrates the antispyware, antispam and firewall features with the new version of ESET’s flagship ESET NOD32 Antivirus scanning engine. This tight integration allows each module to share information with the other to evaluate and classify every threat appropriately, he said. –TradeArabia News Service
