Increasing cybercrime threats daily mean no one is immune
Increasing cybersecurity threats are throttling businesses and holding citizens to ransom . The rapid shift to full remote working and accelerated Digital Transformation has left many organisations and end-users vulnerable to a new wave of sophisticated online security threats .
A lack of adequate protection and a shortage of cybersecurity experts globally has created an environment for cybercrime to flourish .
Steve Flynn , Sales and Marketing Director , ESET Southern Africa , said that immediately implementing adequate and proactive threat protection solutions is required . “ Threat protection can feel like a massive undertaking which requires long development and implementation times , or for the end-users , something that they feel might never affect them , but the reality has proven otherwise , but the good news is that it ’ s easier than one might anticipate ,” said Flynn .
ESET PROTECT Cloud came out of this rigorous testing with AV-Comparatives ’ certification for Advanced Threat Protection , which is awarded to products that pass . In ESET ’ s case , the product not only passed but also achieved the top results among its competitors , being the only solution that detected 14 out of the 15 attack scenarios .
ESET ’ s consumer solution was also put through rigorous testing in a separate AV- Comparatives test , which aimed to uncover how well the solution can protect the enduser rather than simply detect threats . ESET Internet Security achieved solid marks for its protection and was awarded the Advanced Threat Protection Certification Advanced + level .
Flynn said : “ No cyber security solution is perfect , but at ESET we always strive to be the best , and we are delighted to see that a highly respected independent testing

organisation like AV-Comparatives confirms that we are delivering on our promise .” p
Recently , in two separate AV-Comparatives tests , ESET , a global provider in cybersecurity , has been awarded top marks for both its business and consumer offerings . AV-Comparatives is an independent testing organisation , well-known for offering innovative real-world environment testing , has subjected ESET ’ s enterprise solution to hacking and penetration techniques that allow attackers to access internal computer systems and which mimic threats used in the real world .
The ESET PROTECT Cloud solution ranked at the top among competitors in the AV- Comparatives Advanced Threat Protection Test – Enterprise . And ESET Internet Security for consumers was a high achiever in the AV- Comparatives Advanced Threat Protection Test – Consumer .
