At ESET, we adapt rapidly to the ever changing security environment, by regularly releasing updates to enhance our products and services. It is important that our users keep their security software up-to-date to ensure maximum protection.
We always take any reported issues seriously and our core technology team is continuously making improvements for our customers, delivering the updates automatically to make the security experience as smooth and safe as possible.
Recently Google’s Project Zero Team reported some vulnerabilities and fixes were implemented immediately. They have reported two vulnerabilities to us in the last 10 days. The first of them on June 19th, 2015, and the second on June 26th, 2015. In both cases, the issues were solved in less than 3 days, over a weekend. We made sure the fixes were available automatically to every customer, both businesses and home users, through the regular security updates of our products.
„Protecting customers is our top priority, therefore we continually update and improve our products, “said Juraj Malcho, Chief Research Officer at ESET. „We greatly value the commitment to responsible disclosure and collaborative nature of the IT security industry.“
