ESET also protects mobile phones
Mobile phone security is an increasingly pressing issue, as even managers of companies that already provide a lot of IT security sometimes read letters and edit documents on tablets or even mobile phones that are of great value to the company, without even thinking that they create serious vulnerabilities, which, of course, are also exploited by pest producers.
According to a worldwide survey commissioned by ESET and conducted by InSites Consulting in October-November 2011, 36% of Internet users connect to the World Wide Web with their smartphones, 19% access the Internet with their base device and 10% use a tablet. . These portable devices store not only personal data but also business information, similar to desktops. According to OSBT (OneSource Building Technologies), 16% of users reported data loss due to a security attack.
At the Mobilworld Congress 2012 conference and exhibition in Barcelona, ESET offered a solution to the problems. At the exhibition, at their own stand, they presented the flagship of their products developed for the protection of mobile devices, ESET Mobile Security for Android.
