Johannesburg,
South Africa, 8 April 2013:
eScan, one of the leading
anti-virus and content security solution providers announced the launch of
eScan Version 14 for SOHO editions with cloud security this month. With eScan’s
constant efforts in improving the product in accordance to the feedback from
its global users, as well as ensuring that it matches the constantly changing
security needs of IT users, the new version aims to provide them with an
improved secure computing environment.
eScan 14 with cloud security
includes many usability enhancements and improvements in order to deliver
superlative protection against emerging threats targeting Windows®-based
systems. Power packed with technologies such as the eScan Security Network
(it’s cloud technology), advanced virus control, MicroWorld Winsock Layer, Non-
Intrusive Learning Patterns as well as Domain and IP Reputation Checker, eScan
ensures proactive protection even from next generation threats.
The feature rich eScan 14
has been developed to be very light on system resources preventing unnecessary
lag on the user’s computer. It also includes a new “tile-based” dashboard which
further improves the user-friendliness of the product and is highly optimized
to increase performance. With its secure delete facility under privacy control,
users can permanently delete files and folders without the fear of having the
files retrieved by the use of third-party applications, thus preventing misuse
of personal information. USB Vaccination, also a new feature to the product,
prevents USB devices from becoming a source of infection. eScan Rescue Mode
will now allow users to boot into a secure environment during system start-up
without using any optical or USB media.
The cloud-based eScan
Security Network ensures protection from latest and unknown threats. In
addition to Internet Explorer and Firefox, eScan will now also support Chrome.
Bestowed with unique features such as advanced reporting functionality, a
simple license activation wizard, safe mode protection, advanced parental
control, file reputation checks using the cloud, the new improved eScan product
is all set to redefine a secure digital life to its users.
“As
Africa becomes more developed, we are experiencing the increasing demand for
more sophisticated and effective means of cyber security. Attacks are on the
rise, particularly for home users who are so often vulnerable to malicious
threats. We believe eScan’s new version will effectively protect users from
such threats while saving them precious resources as well as money” said Lee
Milroy, CEO of Secure Lab, the exclusive eScan distributor for Africa.
“Cyber criminals are
constantly discovering new ways to target sensitive data such as confidential
banking details of SOHO users through targeted phishing attacks and other
means. Today information security at endpoints is vital to ensure a secure
computing experience for your family”, says Mr Govind Rammurthy, MD & CEO,
eScan. He added, “eScan’s latest version with Cloud Security is all set to
change the dynamics in information security for networks in the SOHO segment.
The product factors both the threat vectors and infection methods of current as
well as future breeds of malware and is power packed with technologies that can
effectively counter them. We are proud to have reached a new milestone in
information security with the new version of eScan in order to secure user’s
information and their digital lives across the globe.”
