ESET introduces ESET Cyber Security with native ARM support for macOS v7.3

ESET, a cybersecurity company, announces several enhancements to its popular ESET Cyber Security for macOS product line, designed to provide essential protection for Apple users from a variety of modern-day cyber threats. ESET Cyber Security for macOS v7.3 now features native support for ARM and automatic updates to ensure optimal protection at all times.

Due to its ability to increase speed while minimising energy consumption, ARM has gained popularity as a chipset in recent years, to the point that the ARM-based mobile computing market now beats the older x86-based mobile computing market in both revenue and units1.

Mária Trnková, vice president of ESET’s Consumer and IoT segment said “We’ve been working on native support for ARM for some time, to enhance the protection we can provide customers that rely upon Apple devices.”

Trnková added “The changes we have made to the underlying architecture of ESET Cyber Security for macOS bring greater stability and higher performance, making scanning quicker and more efficient than ever before.”

ESET Cyber Security for macOS has been updated with a new architecture based on micro-services that offer better security, stability, and performance. The solution is now more lightweight and each component runs only when necessary, helping to conserve device resources and save battery life. This new architecture ensures that components are automatically deactivated after their allotted time, improving device efficiency.

The new automatic updates component of ESET Cyber Security for macOS ensures that users are provided with optimal protection, allowing the solution to find and download updates as soon as they are released.

Additionally, the most recent edition of ESET Cyber Security for macOS boasts an enhanced multilanguage installation with 24 support languages. The user can later alter the language by using the macOS language and region settings. Language is initially configured according to the system language upon installation. This simplifies installation and gives the user peace of mind.

ESET Cyber Security for macOS v7.3 has a redesigned graphical user interface (GUI) that fully supports dark mode in HiDPI, which helps conserve device resources. Additionally, advanced configuration options will be introduced later in 2023.

ESET Cyber Security for macOS v7.3 includes several other components of ESET’s award-winning functionality that users have come to expect, including:

• Anti-Phishing – protecting users against malicious HTTP websites attempting to acquire their sensitive information, whether that be usernames, passwords, banking information or credit card details
• Antivirus and Antispyware – eliminating all types of modern-day threats, including viruses, worms and spyware  
• Cross-platform Protection – stopping malware from spreading from macOS to Windows endpoints and vice versa. This prevents a user‘s macOS from being turned into an attack platform for Windows-targeted threats
• ESET LiveGrid technology – whitelisting safe files based on a file reputation database in the cloud
• Web and Email Scanning – scanning websites during browsing and checking all incoming emails for viruses and other threats

Mária Trnková commented “ESET Cyber Security for macOS v7.3 includes multiple layers of real-time protection, anti-phishing and web and email protection that ensure peace of mind for Apple users when browsing online.”

 She added “Powered by the advanced ESET LiveGrid technology, the solution combines speed, accuracy and minimal system impact, leaving more system resources for consumer needs.”
