Did you know that 70 million smartphones are lost or stolen each year, with only 7 percent ever being recovered? With so many of us now spending an average of 4.2 hours per day using our mobile phones, an increase of 30% from just two years prior – losing a phone can be scary.
In addition, a 2020 study found that most children own a mobile phone by the age of seven, and mobile devices are the most common way children access the internet.
So, if we can’t live without our phones, we need to live with them – safely.
You can keep yourself and your family safe on their mobile devices with ESET Mobile Security. Whether you’re trying to download files, shop, bank or just browse the web safely – EMS covers it all and protects your personal information in case your phone is lost or stolen.

Get the most out of ESET Mobile Security
In the digital age, and spurred on by the pandemic, our phones are our lives. The increase in cashless payments and online shopping and banking has led to the increased adoption of mobile payment methods.
However, threats such as keyloggers can record and transmit every finger tap on your smartphone to the cybercriminals, allowing them to get hold of your passwords or account credentials you use to access your payment apps.
Alternatively, cybercriminals can deploy fake apps that masquerade as something else and attack your payment apps. Just one example – ESET researchers discovered a trojan disguised as a battery optimization tool, which targeted users of the official PayPal app and attempted to transfer €1,000 (roughly US$1,200) to the attacker’s accounts.
ESET Mobile Security makes your Android phones and devices easy to find and protects your valuable data. The app is available in both a free and premium version, with features including:
- Anti-Theft – a powerful feature to help protect your phone and find it if it goes missing
- Anti-Phishing – uses the ESET malware database to identify scam websites
- Network Inspector – scans your network and all connected devices to identify security gaps
- Payment Protection – lets you shop and bank safely online
