“We continue to see a rise in Android malware – with ransomware being part of it – as a result of a growing number of malicious applications and targeted attacks. So, as more connected devices become available on the market, the risk to consumers and businesses has never been greater,” said Juraj Malcho, Chief Technology Officer at ESET. “MWC is the perfect platform for us to share our industry-leading insights, and our latest research on privacy concerns, to help better protect users now and in the future.”
Consumers are continually acquiring more connected devices into their homes. Yet while they have their benefits, these cool gadgets have a darker side as individuals share more sensitive, personal data about their everyday lives.
Are the concerns over smart devices justified? To find out, ESET engineers tested how smart home devices communicate with networks and manufacturers. At MWC, ESET will showcase a purpose-built concept Smart Home where the team will demonstrate the potential risks to security and privacy posed by these gadgets.
ESET’S team of experts will be also hosting a live demonstration to show how the new security solution defends consumers from cyberattacks. At MWC 2018, get up to date with ESET’S new research on ransomware for Android. The latest findings provide detailed insight into how ransomware for Android has evolved into a full-scale global threat, affecting telcos, ISPs and MSPs, over the past 12 months and how ESET succeeds in combatting the evolving risk.
This year’s MWC marks ESET’s 30 year anniversary. For three decades ESET experts have single-mindedly focused on protecting its customers from complex threats. This year, meet ESET Chief Technology Officer Juraj Malcho and Tony Anscombe, ESET´s Global Security Evangelist, ESET’s Security Awareness Specialist Ondrej Kubovic and Director of Global Sales Jeronimo Varela, at ESET’s booth.
