ESET NOD32香港獨家代理商出席「第三屆中小企科技研討會」

早前，ESET NOD32香港獨家代理商Version 2出席了由IT PRO與PC3合辦「第三屆中小企科技研討會」。今年研討會主題是「金融科技（FinTech）與網絡營銷」，大會更邀得Version 2銷售及產品高級經理盧惠光先生負責演講關於勒索軟件的問題。

盧惠光先生表示：「不要以為勒索軟件只針對大企業，因為發動勒索軟件攻擊的成本低而利潤高，在各行各業已經氾濫成災。」他強調勒索軟件主要透過電郵散播，除了使用ESET Endpoint Security五大功能：進階記憶體掃描、程式漏洞防護、雲端偵測技術、偵測系統漏洞防護及殭屍網絡防護，也要提高員工對釣魚電郵攻擊的防範意識，才能減低風險。
