Speaking on the deployment, Mr. Ron Breakwell, Information Systems and Telecoms Manager of Yemen LNG Company, said, "We had read a lot of positive reviews about ESET NOD32 in magazines and IT websites before deciding to implement it. ESET NOD32 is a very efficient antivirus and we believe it will be an effective tool to safeguard our IT network with its innovative threat detection technology. ESET NOD32 is very light as compared to other antivirus products, less CPU intensive when executing a background scan and is also more efficient in detecting threats."
The deployment of ESET NOD32 at Yemen LNG Company was a seamless process with no network slowdown or downtime. Yemen LNG now centrally manages the ESET NOD32 software, which automatically updates end-user devices without impacting performance and offers the highest level of proactive protection that stops new forms of malware before impacting the network. Since the award-winning software was implemented, the company has been able to avert more web based threats than they were able to previously with their old antivirus system from another vendor.
"ESET NOD32 has facilitated reliable network performance and hasn't had any adverse impact on our business processes. Since we replaced our previous antivirus solution with ESET NOD32, we have been able to detect and quarantine many viruses that the previous antivirus did not even detect. We would recommend ESET NOD32 highly to companies that are looking for an efficient and highly effective antivirus solution,"
Mr. Ron Breakwell added.
The supply of ESET NOD32 at Yemen LNG was carried out by Smartnet, a leading name in IT services in Yemen and a reseller for ESET's security products. "Yemen LNG evaluated a number of security solutions and found ESET NOD32 to be a perfect fit for their requirements. We are thrilled that ESET NOD32 is in great demand with our customers in this region. More companies are now recognizing the fact that installing just any antivirus product is not enough but they need products such as ESET NOD32 which provides them proactive threat detection technology and does not consume significant computing resources," said Mr. Khaled Shamsan of Smartnet.
ESET says that its research indicates that consumers and businesses are looking for maximum protection, low system requirements, accurate results and fast scanning speeds. They don't want solutions that slow down their computers and affect routine business applications.
Mr. Neo Neophytou, Managing Director of ADAOX Middle East said, "We are proud and happy that Yemen LNG, a leading name in Yemen, has chosen ESET NOD32 over other security products. ESET NOD32 is favored by many leading companies in the region as the antivirus product of choice because other competing products are more demanding in terms of CPU resources and are also relatively slower in scanning. We are quite confident that Yemen LNG will reap the many rewards of deploying ESET NOD32, including time and cost benefits."
ESET also recently unveiled ESET NOD32 3.0, the new version of its anti-virus product. ESET's ThreatSense technology, an "early warning system" provides the industry's highest level of accuracy and has not missed an in-the-wild-virus in Virus Bulletin VB 100 testing over the past nine years, while producing only one false-positive during that time. It has also received more Advanced+ awards from AV-Comparatives.org for proactive protection than any other product.
While ESET NOD 32 has gained traction as the leading anti-virus product in the regional market, ESET has also recently announced the introduction of ESET Smart Security, a new integrated security solution, ideal for consumers and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It includes antivirus, antispyware, antispam and firewall features built on the advanced heuristic ThreatSense detection system and the ESET NOD32 scanning engine. With significantly lower performance overhead as compared to competiting products, ESET Smart Security uses only 40MB of disk space and scans systems up to 30-times faster than other products.
ESET's new solutions are ideal for the small-to-medium size business environment. By incorporating ESET's Remote Administrator, both ESET Smart Security and the new version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus can be deployed and managed remotely from a central location.
