ESET is participating in the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (February 27 – March 2, 2017), where it will present its latest solutions specifically for business and mobile platforms, its latest research as well as its strategy in accordance with the regulation of personal data protection of the EU. More information regarding the company's presence at the conference are available at special page.
The conference will present ESET's new Threat Intelligence services. The services predict and warn businesses of the dangers that threaten them in real time, giving them even greater flexibility to adapt to a rapidly changing threat landscape. Targeted attacks, advanced APTs, zerodays, and botnet attacks are included in the Threat Intelligence analysis. Additionally, the services are available in security organizations and Security Operations Centers to analyze specific types of malware and provide specialized information about their operation and impact.
In ESET's latest research, an important place is occupied by the topic of threats on mobile devices and, in particular, ransomware that attacks the Android platform by encrypting archives and locking the screen. ESET researchers will present a white paper with the latest data, while ESET's Chief Technology Officer, Juraj Malcho, will make a presentation on this topic at the conference. In a related statement he said "Every year we observe the gradual increase of this threat, generally on all platforms and more specifically on mobile devices. However, users are still not protecting themselves properly, nor are they paying enough attention to responsible online behavior."
