MUMBAI, INDIA: 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.
