One such discovery was Operation Windigo carried out by ESET Research Labs this past spring. The technology inside ESET Smart Security® 8 uncovers irregular network communications patterns characteristic of Botnets. A 2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report shows botnet activity was the largest single category of crimeware reported accounting for 86%.Ģ013 saw a number of high profile botnet attacks. Both ESET NOD32® Antivirus 8 and ESET Smart Security® 8 protect computer users against these exploits with Enhanced Exploit Blocker.ĮSET Smart Security® 8 also introduces a new Botnet Protection feature which protects a user’s computer from being taken over by a remote attacker and used as part of a network of infected computers for malicious purposes. This behavior manifests itself in that it tries to take over or “exploit” the software’s inherent vulnerabilities, glitches or bugs – with an aim to take control of a computer system. These indicators of compromise usually reveal an out-of-the-ordinary behavior of a particular piece of data or software. “Combined with our award-winning anti-malware protection, we are confident these added features will bring tremendous value to our customers.”Īccording to Cisco Annual Security Report 20 Midyear Security Report, Java exploits accounted for 91 % of all indicators of compromise (IOC) in November 2013, rising to 93 % as of May 2014 followed by Adobe Reader, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word, with a 3% share. “These new features provide users of ESET NOD32® Antivirus 8 and ESET Smart Security® 8 enhanced level of security, whether they are checking email, surfing the web or checking their bank balance online,” said Ignacio Sbampato, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at ESET. The latest line-up includes Botnet Protection and Enhanced Exploit Blocker that protects against exploits and offer anti-phishing and social media scanning capabilities.
ESET®, the global leader in proactive digital protection, today announced the latest versions of its flagship security software products: ESET NOD32® Antivirus 8 and ESET Smart Security® 8.
