ESET provides an additional layer of protection called Banking & Payment Protection (also known as Safe Banking & Browsing) to secure your online banking and financial transactions. Here's how it works:
When you visit a banking or payment website, ESET's Banking & Payment Protection will automatically open that site in a secure, isolated browser environment. This secured browser has the following key security features:
It encrypts all communication between your keyboard and the browser, preventing keyloggers from capturing sensitive data like login credentials or payment details.
It creates a hardened, sandboxed environment that isolates the browser from other processes on your system, enhancing protection against malware attacks.
It displays a green border around the browser window and an "ESET Secured" indicator, so you can visually confirm the secure mode is active.
ESET maintains a predefined list of banking/payment websites that will trigger this secured browser. You can also manually add or remove sites from this list. Additionally, you can configure ESET to open all browsers in the secured mode for maximum protection.
The secured browser supports major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Internet Explorer, ensuring compatibility with your preferred banking portals. ESET's LiveGrid reputation system is utilised to ensure Banking & Payment Protection works effectively.
By isolating your sensitive online transactions within this hardened, encrypted environment, ESET's Banking & Payment Protection significantly reduces the risk of data exposure from keyloggers, screen capture malware, and other threats targeting your financial information.
