The new features are designed to address concerns surrounding identity theft, ransomware, phishing, and data privacy, reflecting the increasing sophistication of online threats. The upgraded ESET Identity Protection integrates Dark Web Monitoring, which actively scans the Dark Web, blogs, and black-market forums to detect and alert users about any illegal trading or misuse of their personal information, and then sends an alert to enable them to take swift action.
ESET HOME Security builds on its existing layers of protection, which include antivirus, anti-phishing, ransomware protection, and VPN capabilities. Designed as an all-in-one solution, it extends coverage to a wide range of devices and operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
The newly-launched ESET Folder Guard enhances protection for Windows, allowing users to designate specific folders as protected, preventing untrusted applications from modifying or deleting important files and therefore protecting against threats like ransomware and destructive malware.
