SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ESET
today announced that its ESET NOD32 Antivirus solution has been
recognized by the TechTarget® Information Security™ magazine and
SearchSecurity.com™ 2011 Readers’ Choice Awards as the number one
antimalware solution of the year. ESET’s NOD32
Antivirus Business Edition took the gold prize in the antimalware
category, finishing ahead of offerings from McAfee and Trend Micro.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition delivers comprehensive
server-to-endpoint network security for businesses and is built on the
innovative ThreatSense® platform, a sophisticated detection system based
on advanced heuristics. It proactively identifies viruses, Trojans,
spyware and phishing attacks in real-time, without the slowdowns, false
positives and other issues that impact end users and tie up IT staff.
Additionally, ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition features ESET
Remote Administrator which allows IT administrators to easily manage
hundreds of thousands of Windows, Mac, Linux, or mobile endpoints — all
from a single console.
According to the editors at SearchSecurity.com, “Whoever believes
commoditization drained innovation and competition from the enterprise
antimalware market clearly hasn’t been paying attention to ESET. Information
Security readers lauded the product for the frequency and speed of
its signature updates, as well as for its ease of installation and
management, effectiveness in detecting, blocking and cleaning up
malware, and its alerting and reporting capabilities.”
“ESET is committed to delivering business anti-malware solutions that
are extremely effective yet very efficient. We believe security should
not come at the expense of productivity; it’s a principle and a
responsibility we take very seriously,” said Dan Clark, vice president
of marketing at ESET North America. “For years, our emphasis has been to
use advanced proactive heuristics to detect malware as opposed to
relying on basic signatures. We’re truly honored that the merits of this
approach are appreciated by such a technically sophisticated community,
and we want to thank our supporters for the feedback and support they’ve
provided over the years that has helped us get the product to where it
is today.”
The Information Security magazine and SearchSecurity.com 2011
Readers’ Choice Awards reflect extensive, in-depth discussions and
interviews between TechTarget editors, security technology experts, and
the TechTarget User Advisory board — which is comprised of chief
security officers from major US corporations — to define the
appropriate categories and criteria to encompass the most critical
security technologies and functionality. TechTarget then asks more than
1,500 information security executives and managers to assess and rate
products they deploy within their organizations from a listing of more
than 360 products. Based on their cumulative responses the judging panel
selects Gold, Silver, and Bronze award winners within the product
categories.
Last week, ESET released ESET
NOD32 Antivirus 5 and ESET
Smart Security 5 for consumers. The version 5 Business Editions are
scheduled for release in Q1 2012. For more information about this award
