Kaspersky Lab's protection becomes wearable: Smartwatch management features for the new Kaspersky Internet Security for Android.
Kaspersky Lab presents the new edition of Kaspersky Internet Security for Android, which, in addition to improved performance and top protection, also has an option to manage protection via Android Wear devices. 
Only 2015, Kaspersky Lab recorded 17 millions mobile malware attacks. These included programs designed for surveillance, extortion, money theft and other criminal activities.
Kaspersky Internet Security for Android provides protection against such threats. To make the solution even more user-friendly and accessible to users, Kaspersky Lab has released an updated version of it, which includes control capabilities through the "smart" Android Wear watch.
The user's smartwatch can now display notifications from the Kaspersky Internet Security for Android solution installed on smartphone or tablet connected to the watch. This feature could be, for example, notifications about a threat detected on the device. Through the watch, the user can also give remote commands to the product by pressing buttons on the screen or by voice orders. These commands can trigger an audible alarm to find a lost phone, scan for malware and update antivirus databases.
In addition, the new version of the security solution is now compatible with Android 6.0 software to provide effective protection against online threats to even more Android device owners.
«Statistics show that Android continues to be the second in frequency attack platform after Microsoft Windows. That is why it is strongly recommended to owners Android devices to use security solutions. At the same time, the Internet of Things is a rapidly growing trend and attracts more and more users. This means that security solution providers must make it possible for their customers to use IoT in conjunction with their protection solutions ", commented Alexey Chirkov, Product Manager of Kaspersky Lab.
The new Kaspersky Internet Security for Android solution is now available through Google Play, on the Kaspersky Lab website, but also as part of Kaspersky Internet Security - Multi-Device and Kaspersky Total Security - Multi-Device solutions. In 2015, Kaspersky Lab won the Top Developer Award from Google for its innovative approach and high quality products.
In addition to protection from malware and websites, the solution includes tools for remotely controlling a lost or stolen device, filtering out unwanted calls and messages, and hiding personal data from prying eyes. Also, product management can be remotely and through the portal My Kaspersky, which - for example - allows activation of Anti-Theft operation, enabling or disabling the Privacy Protection function or updating database antivirus.
