SAN DIEGO — ESET recently announced an agreement with Subway, under which the chain's 23,000-plus U.S. and Canadian merchants are able to deploy ESET NOD32 antivirus software directly on their point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
"Subway's POS machines are mission critical to our restaurants' successful operation, handling hundreds of transactions per day. Subway franchisees depend on the POS to work at optimum speed, moving customers quickly through the line. Therefore, it is critical that each of these machines is not hindered by malware that can slow or shut down systems," said Marina O'Rourke, Subway's director of retail technology, who oversees testing and implementation.
Built on the ThreatSense engine, ESET NOD32 Antivirus is an integrated security solution that proactively detects and disables viruses, spyware, adware, phishing, rootkits and other Internet threats. It is the only antivirus technology that has not missed an "in-the-wild" virus in Virus Bulletin VB 100 testing over the past nine years, while producing only one false-positive during that time. It was named Best Antivirus Product of 2006 and 2007 by AV-Comparatives.
