New capabilities integrated into the ESET PROTECT platform, ESET Inspect Cloud and ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Mac solutions and ESET Professional Services
ESET, a global European leader in the cybersecurity market, has renewed its range of products for companies to help organizations of all sizes in preventing cyber attacks on corporate networks. The platform The Radicati Market Quadrant only evaluates market leaders has received a series of improvements that help IT managers manage security risks, while the popular Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solution ESET Inspect it is now accessible via the cloud and has been re-branded “ESET INSPECT Cloud”. Furthermore, endpoint security solutions for Windows, macOS and Android have also achieved significant evolutions.
For over 30 years, ESET has been investing heavily in multiple layers of proprietary technology that help prevent breaches of customers' endpoints and IT systems, both from known and never-before-seen threats. “We represent an important role in the development of progress and our task is to provide the digital security that enables the systems of each organization to operate constantly, in a condition of total safety,” he underlined Five Ballaj, Director Director of ESET. “We believe that no modern business, large or small, can survive without a prompt response to IT breaches, and we are confident that by employing ESET's robust prevention, detection and response technologies, available through the ESET PROTECT platform, businesses can benefit from the broadest, most multi-layered and most effective protection in the industry.”
Features of the new ESET Inspect Cloud
It is a sophisticated cloud tool that enables the ESET PROTECT platform to transform into an Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution with security and risk management features that characterize enterprise environments, including advanced threat hunting, incident response, complete network visibility, cloud-based threat defense and more. ESET Inspect Cloud identifies malicious code post-execution, while ESET PROTECT gives the user full visibility of the response.
Features of the new ESET PROTECT platform
The ESET PROTECT platform has been improved with real customer needs in mind, with the aim of helping IT administrators better manage security risks in their environments. In particular, an automatic update mechanism ensures that all ESET Endpoint Protection agents and implemented solutions are always up to date, easing the burden on IT administrators. Complete integration between ESET Inspect Cloud and ESET PROTECT is also planned, for the benefit of a much more fluid experience, with efficient dashboards and optimized implementations. Additionally, ESET PROTECT offers a dashboard for ESET LiveGuard Advanced, an advanced threat defense solution with cloud sandboxing included, which analyzes suspicious files sent from endpoints for new or unknown threats.
For administrators trying to protect against hackers in the era of remote working, ESET PROTECT integrates the new Brute-Force Attack Protection module for ESET Endpoint Security for Windows products. By combining reputation data obtained from the cloud with password-guessing systems and honeypots, ESET's Brute-Force Attack Protection module blocks intrusion attempts. Finally, with the expected spread of ARM64 hardware in organizations due to the increased processing demands imposed by new technologies (such as high-resolution displays, realistic 3D gaming and voice recognition), ESET Endpoint Security and ESET Endpoint Antivirus also offer ARM64 versions.
A new web control feature in ESET PROTECT Cloud allows IT administrators to regulate employee access to websites from their Android mobile devices. Using built-in procedures and customized policies, administrators will be able to define blacklists or whitelists, as well as report URLs that lead to sites with unwanted content.
For Mac users, ESET has then released a new version of ESET Endpoint Antivirus, based on a microservices architecture that replaces the previous monolithic edition. As a result, ESET Endpoint Antivirus has an improved multithreaded design for faster scanning; it is more stable because damaged components can restart automatically instead of causing the entire application to crash; allows for better security coordination because components can run with non-privileged user rights; It is compatible with Apple M1 devices via Rosetta 2.
For businesses that don't have the in-house expertise to provide optimal protection, ESET Professional Services complement multiple updates to ESET's enterprise security software solutions. Organizations can draw on the tools and knowledge of ESET's team of experts to successfully diagnose and manage their company's data security issues. ESET offers a broad portfolio of specialized services, ranging from implementation and customization to training and monitoring, through which businesses gain all the benefits of services such as ESET's Managed Detection & Response. In this way, companies do not necessarily have to prepare an internal team of cybersecurity experts or can maximize their approach to cybersecurity by adding “double control” to enhance existing resources.
As a private company specializing in technology, ESET has always adopted a method based on research and prevention systems, with an early adoption of machine learning and the potential of cloud computing to develop global threat intelligence systems. The company is regularly listed as a top player and leader in the sector, boasting a rich portfolio of business solutions.
“Thanks to major updates to our product portfolio, we have created a range of diagnostic solutions to prevent malware from entering the corporate network. When a threat is identified, our technologies detect and resolve – keeping businesses constantly informed – while ESET's global laboratories are ready to detect new malware,” concludes Balaj.
