Key Innovations
Securing one’s data using online financial transactions whether you are using an online credit card payment facility, or banking transactions, using free wifi in coffee shops, it is pertinent to secure and safeguard the privacy of your personal details. The latest versions of Kaspersky Lab’s consumer software incorporates several entirely new technologies that improve the level of protection against encryption and malware, prevent webcam surveillance of the user, and shields against the risk of working on vulnerable wi-fi networks.
Webcam Protection
Webcam hacking, or intercepting images from the webcam, is one way of using malware for online espionage. Many users pay no attention to what might be recorded on their webcams – even though the camera could capture images of documents containing bank details, credit cards, or simply personal activities that people prefer not to expose to strangers.
System Watcher
Cryptomalware or malware that encrypts files and demands a ransom before restoring access to information happens recently. It is like hijacking your information and a payment is required for you to retrieve it. Kaspersky Lab’s System Watcher module analyzes all processes running on the OS and now features new data backup functionality. Once the system suspects of such, it creates a logical backup copy of that file, free from any external changes. Thus, a system restore or rollback can be done to thefile in case it gets lost.
Wi-Fi Security notification
This module verifies the security of Wi-Fi hotspots and alerts the user to any potential threats, such as a vulnerable network connection or the transmission of an unsecured password via the internet. Users also receive tips and recommendations on how to securely configure their own home Wi-Fi Network. In addition to these new key features, the 2015 version also includes a number of extra enhancements :
-Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) and Kaspersky Anti-Virus now include automatic updates & upgrades when newer versions become available.
-Improvements were introduced into the Safe Money module to protect online financial transactions at every stage. Safe Money also blocks third-party applications from accessing the web-browser clipboard, which may temporarily contain confidential data (such as copied login credentials).
-For users of paid Wi-Fi networks, 3G or LTE connections, the solution now includes the Cost-Aware Networking feature that reduces the amount of data communicated by the product via net.
Anti-phishing module helps the user avoid unwanted and malicious webpages. This leads to faster and more accurate detections of fake websites designed to steal money and sensitive user information.
-The main menu interface has been unified across all products so users can easily navigate applications regardless of the OS or product version.
