ESET, a global European leader in the cybersecurity market, was recognized as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Managed Detection And Response Services In Europe, Q3 2025.
According to ESET, this recognition highlights the strength of the ESET PROTECT platform, which powers Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services by combining local threat intelligence with Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities.
It carry over[1] states: "ESET leverages its presence in Central and Eastern Europe to gather highly localized threat intelligence and offer MDR services. The company has earned trust through its focus on endpoint maturity and regional compliance, ensuring dedicated EU environments and operations under European jurisdiction. Reference customers have highlighted ESET's transparency and direct support, citing local language skills and threat advisories as positives. Organizations with a large endpoint fleet looking for robust regional threat intelligence should consider ESET."
In line with Forrester's focus on sovereignty, speed and maturity of response, ESET's strategy highlights the strength of its localized threat intelligence and commitment to European regulatory compliance. Founded on solid experience in endpoint protection, ESET further distinguishes itself through transparency, operational support and a deep-rooted presence in the territory.
“We are proud to have been recognized as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Managed Detection And Response Services In Europe, Q3 2025,” said Michal Jankech, Vice President, Enterprise & SMB/MSP at ESET. "For us, this recognition reflects our commitment to providing high-quality cybersecurity services tailored to the needs of European organisations. Our ESET PROTECT platform continues to evolve, combining endpoint expertise with XDR capabilities to help customers remain resilient in the face of increasingly complex threats. We remain focused on innovation and progress, with the aim of further expanding and consolidating our MDR services to meet future challenges."
European security leaders are increasingly turning to MDR providers not only for faster threat detection, but also to ensure operational resilience in a context marked by regulatory, economic and cybersecurity challenges. With regulations such as NIS2 and DORA coming into force and the growing shortage of qualified professionals, MDR services must offer localized support, advanced response capabilities and full respect for data sovereignty.
ESET believes this recognition validates its strategy of regional threat visibility, reliable support and a compliance-focused MDR approach — essential elements for organizations facing today's regulatory and cybersecurity landscape.
