AV-Comparatives has awarded ESET Internet Security with five consecutive Advanced+ awards for high performance since May 2017.
The latest edition of ESET’s offer for home users includes a host of new features and improvements: New Multiplatform Compatibility – ESET Internet Security (EIS), ESET Smart Security Premium (ESSP), and ESET Cyber Security Pro (ECSP) product licenses are now compatible across platforms.So, customers who purchase a license for EIS, ESSP, or ECSP can now use the same license to protect their other Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android devices with solutions such as ESET Mobile Security for Android, ESET Parental Control for Android and ESET Smart TV Security.New Advanced Machine Learning Layer – Machine learning employs a wide variety of algorithms to correctly classify samples as clean, malicious or potentially unwanted.Thus, by adding a machine learning layer to home solutions, users are better protected against never before seen or zero-day cyber threats.
Improved Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) – HIPS conducts an advanced behavioral analysis and detection procedure of running processes, files and registry keys.The current improvement further strengthens the existing detection capabilities of HIPS.Improved Anti-Phishing – Anti-phishing technology protects end-users from malicious emails, links, and attachments.The current improvement provides protection against homoglyph attacks where the attacker tries to fool end users by replacing characters in addresses with look-alike characters in order to impersonate legitimate addresses.
Improved Banking & Payment Protection – Financial portals and transactions online require extra protection from prying eyes.Now there is a predefined list of websites that will trigger a secure ‘banking’ browser to open.The list contains not only bank sites, but also PayPal, Apple, and online-based crypto wallets.In addition, trusted media sites are also protected, which prevents fake news from gaining undeserved coverage.
Improved Connected Home Monitor (CHM) – Home users can use CHM to scan their home internet router for vulnerabilities such as weak passwords, port vulnerabilities, known firmware vulnerabilities, malicious domains, malware infections, etc.CHM will provide improved user guidance for any detected issues.CHM can also discover all devices connected to your home Wi-Fi network – now with improved device recognition including IP address, MAC address, device name, model, and vendor details.Improved Password Manager – With Password Manager, users are able to create strong and unique passwords for all their online accounts while only having to remember one master password to manage them all.
I mproved Secure Data – Secure Data is a tool that allows users to encrypt files and removable media devices.This is especially useful in the case of data falling into the wrong hands and for lost devices.In the current upgrade, end-users will be able to decrypt their secured data on any Windows device without the need for ESET Smart Security Premium (ESSP) to be installed on that device..
