Panda Security has unveiled its 2014 range of retail solutions: Panda Global Protection 2014, Panda Internet Security 2014, and Panda Antivirus Pro 2014.The range provides multi-platform protection for Mac and Android, in addition to Windows operating systems.
According to the computer security company, the range is designed to provide complete protection with minimum impact on PC performance, as it leverages the extensive benefits of cloud-based security to tackle digital threats such as viruses, hackers, online fraud and identity theft.
"The Retail 2014 range includes enhanced scanning, detection and disinfection, so that users can ensure their online identities are completely secure," says Dominic Richardson, marketing manager for Panda Security SA.
"Ultimately, these solutions are easy to use, light and secure, and are built on Panda Security's collective intelligence system, which has extended its coverage to the multi-platform world, due to the features included in Panda Global Protection 2014," adds Richardson.
Created for users with advanced needs, Panda Global Protection 2014 provides higher protection against unknown malware and increases the degree of disinfection of aggressive malware such as ransomware or rogue, which hijack computers or personal files. "The identity protection, anti-spam, parental control, backup, remote access, optimisation, file encryption and password management modules have been optimised," notes Panda Security.
"The 2014 editions of both Panda Internet Security and Panda Antivirus Pro boost their capabilities against viruses, hackers and other threats. Panda Internet Security 2014 also provides options to protect the family, the user's identify and user data through parental control, remote access, removal of spam and backup with file restore, as well as other features."
Jeremy Matthews, country manager at Panda Security, elaborates: "During the first six months of the year, 17% more malware samples were created than for the same period last year - evidence that the degree of danger is increasing every month.
"Recently, Panda Security has observed an increase in attacks on mobile platforms, with Android being the cyber criminal's preferred mobile operating system, though these attacks remain significantly fewer than those against PCs. Furthermore, there is evidence that an increasing number of Trojans and other malware are taking advantage of such devices to infect PCs when they connect to them," he concludes.
