ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, presented its 2025 results, highlighting sustained growth, solid profitability and continued progress in innovation and global expansion.
ESET Group reported revenues of €733 million, an increase of 6% year-on-year (8% at fixed exchange rates based on 2025). EBITDA reached €105 million, with business customers continuing to drive growth, while the consumer segment also exceeded expectations.
A clear identity: independence, technology and trust
ESET's performance is based on a distinctive approach to cybersecurity. As a privately held European company, ESET combines independence, internal technological development and long-term skills to offer reliable protection in an increasingly complex threat environment. These features further strengthen its commitment to regulatory compliance and the development of reliable technologies.
With an internally developed technology stack – from detection engines to AI and threat intelligence – ESET maintains full control over quality, innovation and security. This model enables a faster response to emerging threats and strengthens the trust of customers, partners and institutions.
“Rapid technological change and rising geopolitical tensions have continued to redefine the cybersecurity segment in 2025,” said Richard Marko, CEO of ESET. “These dynamics have not only accelerated demand, but have also consolidated the importance of independent and trusted cybersecurity vendors.”
Growth driven by expansion in the enterprise segment
Revenue was fueled to a large extent by strong demand from business customers. ESET has also continued to develop its customized offering through ESET PRIVATE solutions, providing cybersecurity designed for large organizations, government entities, critical infrastructure operators including air-gapping, integrated scanning, proactive customer protection, industrial security and services that include both private Security Operations Centers and customized consultancy. This offering combines advanced technologies and specialized services to address complex operational and regulatory requirements.
Promote cybersecurity through innovation and AI
In 2025, ESET has further enhanced its product portfolio in the business and consumer segments, with a strong focus on AI-based security, automation and resilience. ESET applies AI by focusing on practical and reliable use cases, ensuring measurable security outcomes while maintaining privacy and compliance standards.
Key innovations include:

European roots and global expansion
As a European company with over 35 years of experience, ESET continues to expand its global presence while maintaining a strong regional identity.
In 2025, the company expanded its presence in Northern Europe with the opening of ESET Norden, headquartered in Copenhagen. This expansion reflects a broader strategy to combine global reach and local expertise, enabling closer relationships with customers and partners.
The expansion was accompanied by the full global rollout of ESET Cyber Awareness Training as a service – a central component of improving cyber resilience across all markets.

Thanks to its independence and internal expertise, this stability allows ESET to maintain constant innovation and deliver long-term value.
