AVG Zen to be released later this year

With the number of connected devices expected to rise massively over the next few years, AVG has unveiled the latest version of its multi-platform security tool hoping to prepare and safeguard individuals against the growth of the Internet of Things.

AVG Zen takes a family-first approach to security that protects people as well as devices and personal data. Regardless of how many connected devices they have, AVG Zen will offer users a subscription security service that lets them manage their digital lifestyle. It also includes optional family locator services and phone management. This can help give parents peace of mind, by enabling them to manage and monitor their child’s mobile activity remotely.

“People not only want their online rights to be recognized, they want more control and responsibility over their online actions and those of family members. But today, their online experience is still disconnected,” explained Ben-Itzhak. “Mobile operators and online security companies hold a trusted position in consumers’ lives and we have the opportunity to transform their connected experience by bringing everything together all in one central place.”

The latest version of the AVG Zen platform is currently being previewed by mobile operators and device manufacturers with a consumer release scheduled for later this year.
