ESET News

With more than 12,000 desktops affected and thousands of employees currently working without computers, the company is responding to a serious, local need. This outbreak marked the third time in recent weeks that significant computer problems have affected San Diego County government agencies.

“The importance of real-time malware protection is clear,” said Rick Moy, VP Sales & Marketing at ESET. “As demonstrated in our own community, near-zero day attacks are on the rise and operating system patches simply cannot offer immediate protection. We are extending this offer to important institutions in our community which are often the most resource-challenged. This is where we live and work, and we’d like to do what we can to help.”

Products and technical support are immediately available to affected agencies and will be offered through the end of August. Qualifying government agencies and educational institutions can contact ESET as indicated below:
