Kaspersky Lab presents it Kaspersky Internet Security - multi-device 2016, the new version of the flagship of its consumer products, which is already available in Greece.
Kaspersky Internet Security – multi-device 2016 σχεδιάστηκε ειδικά για να προστατεύσει ό,τι είναι πιο σημαντικό για τους χρήστες, όπως η ιδιωτικότητα, τα δεδομένα, η ψηφιακή ταυτότητα, τα χρήματα και η ίδια η συσκευή τους.
The new solution includes upgraded technologies, ensuring user protection, regardless of the way they use their on-line devices and the platforms they choose (Windows, OS X or Android). In addition, a number of new features have been added to protect the privacy of users.
As the survey showed Consumer IT Security Risks 2015, the number of Internet users concerned about online privacy has increased significantly over the past year. 67% of European users worry that someone could gain access to their personal files, while 60% fear that there may be programs on their devices that collect information. That's why 46% said they don't trust their webcams, which could be used to spy on the owners of a device.
Based on the above issues, security solutions should find new ways to ensure user privacy. The new version of Kaspersky Internet Security - multi-device 2016 has been developed with this in mind, incorporating new technologies for privacy protection.

Επιπλέον, οι ρυθμίσεις του δικτύου και του συστήματος θα μπορούσαν να τροποποιηθούν χωρίς τη συγκατάθεση του ιδιοκτήτη της συσκευής.
All of these elements may invade the privacy of the user, as some plugins and extensions can also collect information about users and their online behavior and use these items for various purposes.
