Kaspersky Lab launches Kaspersky Interent Security

 Kaspersky Lab presented the latest version of its flagship security solution Kaspersky Internet Security 2017. The solution gives users additional opportunities to manage their internet protection and to ensure their data safety.

Kaspersky Internet Security Multi Devise is the security solution for the whole family; it protects Windows, Mac, and Android users against malware, dangerous sites, online tracking, fraud and money theft.

The lack of cyber-savviness among Malaysians coupled with their high usage of unprotected non-PC/non-desktop devices is cause for concern in view of the growth of cyber threats globally. In the second quarter of 2016 alone, Kaspersky Lab solutions detected and repelled over 171 million malicious attacks from online resources, globally.

Speech by Sylvia Ng, General Mnager - SEA, Kaspersky Lab, SEA

 According to Sylvia Ng, General Manager - SEA, Kaspersky Lab, the company expects the consumer reaction to the latest products to be positively strong with the addition of more cutting edge features and the emphasis on providing even better security and value across all device platforms to consumers.

This year, Kaspersky Internet Security for Windows has integrated several new functions. Now users can protect their data from being intercepted during an unsafe Internet connection with the help of Secure Connection. In addition, they can patch potential "holes" in their device security with Software Updater and Software Cleaner.

"At Kaspersky Lab we believe that IT security about the effectiveness of a security solution that suits the usage patterns of consumers, and weighed against their cyber-savviness. Cyber savvy people are more alert to possible threats, and they also ready to apply the latest technological achievements to protect what is most important for them - whether that's personal information, files, privacy, their devices or peace of mind for their family members. We are striving to offer user these possibilities with each new version of our solutions", commented Sylvia.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2017, the solution can protect up to five devices with one simple easy to manage license. It is highly suited to Malaysian consumer digital landscape, and there is a clear need of it.


"Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 incorporates a range of new and improved technologies to protect what matters most to a user regardless of the devices they use, be it on PC, Mac or Android devices," added Slyvia.

 Secure Connection which allows users to connect to Internet safely, by encrypting all data sent and receive through the network. This is especially important when performing financial operations, authorization on sites, or transferring confidential information, as in these cases traffic interception by a stranger could cause users serious (for example, financial) loses.

The Kaspersky Lab protection component, Secure Connection, can be launched from the main window of Kaspersky Internet Security. It can also be activated automatically when the device is connected to public Wi-Fi or the user is inputting confidential information online, such as on banking websites, online stores, payment systems, email, social networks, etc.

Within the security product's license, users have 200 MB of encrypted traffic at their daily disposal, and for an additional monthly or annual fee they can get an unlimited volume of traffic.

Software Updater is one of the common methods of malware penetrating the computer is the use of errors (so-called vulnerabilities) in the programs installed in it. Developers regularly update their products, however not all users regularly update these on their devices. Software Updater can automatically find the applications that need to be updated and, if the user agrees, install the latest versions from vendor sites on their computer. The user can also request the date of an application manually or add any of them to the list of applications that should not be updated (for example, if the older version is required).

Software Cleaner will inform users of a program if it has been installed without their awareness or clear consent (for example, as additional software during the installation of another application), of it slows down the user's device, provides incomplete/incorrect information about its functions, operates in the background mode, shows banners and messages without permission (e.g. advertising), or it is rarely used.  Upon receipt of a report from Software Cleaner, the user can either remove or leave the application in question.

In addition to the new functions, Kaspersky Internet Security has been enhanced with improved advanced technologies such as the multi-level protection of financial transactions (with Safe Money), the prevention of the installation of unwanted applications (with Application Manager, part of the former Change Control feature) and the blocking of advertising banners in the browser (with Anti-Banner).
