ESET is awarded first place in VB Spam Email Security Comparative Review

ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, has been awarded a VBSpam+ certification in a recent report from Virus Bulletin, a world-renowned independent testing and certification body. 

The ESET Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Server software has been awarded this certification in the VBSpam Email Security Comparative Review March 2019. The review analyzed 11 full email security solutions and seven blacklists to measure their performance against various streams of wanted, unwanted and malicious emails. The VBSpam certification process is a world-leading test of enterprise email security solutions, providing insight into the performance of leading spam-filtering technologies.

ESET Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Server acquired the highest rating of SPAM+, one of only four products to achieve this. As a result, ESET secured a shared first place with competitor product FortiMail. 

In addition to testing the catch rate of spam emails, the March 2019 review saw the debut of the “phishing” subcategory of emails — pertaining to emails containing links that lead to either a fake login page or to malware downloads. ESET was the only product reviewed to not miss a single phishing email, securing a score of 100.00% on its phishing catch rate.

Commenting on the results, Jakub Debski, Chief product officer at ESET, said, “ESET’s recognition as a leader in enterprise email security is a testament to our dedication in providing businesses with the absolute best in IT security. Every business relies on email communication and, with email security growing increasingly vital to enterprise safety, we are proud to provide a reliable solution to businesses around the world.”

Already supporting all major file formats and codecs, including those not natively supported by Windows such as HEVC (H.265) and new HEIC/HEIF image files, these latest updates make PowerDVD the leading player on PC and the ultimate addition to Home Theater systems.

PowerDVD 19 continues to guarantee better-than-original video and audio playback for Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD discs, major file formats and codecs, as well as 360˚ video. PowerDVD 19 also introduces spatial audio support for 360˚ videos, making VR video feel almost as real as being there in person. In addition, PowerDVD enables online entertainment to be more accessible, with users able to connect and watch YouTube Live, 4K, and HDR videos, or “pin” videos to watch offline later.

CyberLink’s FaceMe® AI Facial Recognition Engine Integrated in Syscom’s Ayuda Service Robot to Improve Customer Interactions

Taipei, Taiwan—February 14, 2019—CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer of AI-enabled facial recognition technologies, , revealed today that its FaceMe® AI facial recognition engine is being integrated in the Ayuda service robot by Syscom Group (2453.TW). By integrating FaceMe®, Ayuda can accurately recognize customer identity and detect precise information including age, gender and emotions to improve the quality of customer interaction and service. The Ayuda service robot is already being shipped for use in Taiwan and Japan.


Syscom Group is a leading system integrator in Taiwan known for its outstanding software development and integrated solutions, serving clients from vertical markets including financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, high-tech manufacturing and government sector. The Ayuda service robot is a result of the combination of hardware, software, AIoT and big data technology. It provides a wide range of innovative functions, including facial recognition, human detection, voice recognition, voice and video communication, and indoor navigation. Ayuda is highly versatile and can be deployed in a variety of environments, such as retail shops, banks, hospitals and academic institutions.

CyberLink FaceMe®, the world’s top facial recognition engine, is powered by cutting edge neural network algorithm and deep learning technology, resulting in high-precision yields of up to 98.5% true acceptance rate (TAR). Through a cross-platform SDK (Software Development Kit), FaceMe® enables system integrators and solution providers to incorporate precise facial detection to their applications.

“With the development of smart robots, computer vision is becoming a major technological trend, and within computer vision, facial recognition is by far the most important. Facial recognition essentially gives eyes to robots, enabling them to recognize people and interact in a natural and personalized fashion,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. “By integrating FaceMe®, Syscom’s Ayuda service robot can effectively recognize human faces for enhanced humanlike interactions.”

“Syscom has devoted many years to the smart robot industry. Through precise facial recognition and real-time optimization to the Linux operating system, Syscom has integrated FaceMe® as its core facial recognition engine in its third generation Ayuda service robot.” said Chen-Wu Shao, Executive Director of Ayuda’s Smart Robot team. “By integrating the FaceMe® facial recognition engine, Syscom can now deploy Ayuda in institutions such as banks, police offices, hospitals and educational institutions in the near future.”

The Ayuda service robot has been integrated in government and public service institutions in Taiwan, and numerous shipment orders are already underway to the Japanese market.
