ESET: Vanguarding Best-In-Standard Cyber Security Solutions
Today, with the advance- ments in technologies, it has not only brought new avenues in the world of business, but also have given birth to various advanced cyber security threats. Hence, it has become imperative for enterprises to adopt cyber security to overcome critical threats which can compromise one’s business operations. According to Mordor Intelligence, the cybersecurity market was valued at USD 156.24 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach USD 352.25 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 14.5% during 2021-2026. Also, the trends for IoT, BYOD, AI, 5G and machine learning in cybersecurity are increasing.However, to ensure a robust security, enterprises must partner themselves with robust cyber security solution providers who can guarantee absolute threat management against all types of malware attack. Hence, evolving threats require an evolving IT security company that enables the safe use of technology. Furthermore, the rapid acceleration of digital transformation and remote working indicates a need for enterprises to secure their corporate data and devices beyond the four walls of the office. Also, enterprises also require flexibility to scale up their IT operations quickly to accommodate changing IT-related needs. This has increased the demand for cloudbased cybersecurity solutions, wherein, more enterprises are looking to outsource some of their cybersecurity operations.
Speaking of which, ESET is a leading endpoint security provider with over 30 years of experience in protecting businesses from advanced cyberthreats. The company is headquartered in Bratislavia, Slovakia, which grew from a small dynamic company into a global brand protecting to accommodate 400,000 businesses over 110 million users and 400,000 businesses in 202 countries and territories. ESET’s high-performing, easy-to-use solutions unobtrusively protect and monitor 24/7, and updates defenses in real time to keep users safe and businesses running without interruption. This is backed by ESET’s R&D centres worldwide, working in support of our shared future. The company is privately owned and has been solely focusing on cybersecurity for over three decades now. Hence, due to this experience and capabilities, ESET is also ESET is trusted by 110 million users, 400,000 businesses as well as 6,000 Managed Service Providers (MSP) globally, where in, their solutions can also be integrated with various MSP plugins and integrations such as RMM or PSA.
“As enterprises are demanding for cloud-based cybersecurity solutions, enterprises are looking to outsource some of their cybersecurity operations. Looking at this, we have revamped our offerings since last year to cater to such new needs by introducing news cloud-based security bundles,” signifies Parvinder Walia, ESET President for Asia Pacific and Japan.
“We are also working with partners to provide managed endpoint detection and response (MDR) security services using ESET Enterprise Inspector, which allow enterprises to outsource threat hunting/monitoring capabilities to highly trained experts,” he adds.
Ensuring Robust security with a Zero Trust model
ESET strongly advocates a Zero Trust model where access to corporate networks and data must be backed by multi-factor authentication (MFA) to certify a user’s identity. However, one of the pain points organisations encounter when deploying MFA-related security solutions is the diverse range of applications, services and even devices that are being used by employees to access sensitive corporate data. So, what sets ESET apart from others is the time they have spent streamlining this process to make it as simple as possible. The company’s secure authentication can be set up quickly and easily regardless of an organisation’s size and presence of a dedicated IT staff. So, it is so user-friendly that even a micro business with no dedicated IT staff can set it up in 10 minutes. Their solution supports iOS, Android, cloud services, mobile applications, push notifications, hardware tokens, FIDO security keys, as well as custom authentication methods.
“As a channel-focused business, we have grown together with our partners and customers all these years. We believe in providing excellent support even in difficult times. For instance, we extended the trial period for consumers, small businesses, and enterprises to ensure they remain secure during the pandemic. Moreover, our free online cybersecurity training helps guide employees on how to remain safe while working from home,” highlights Parvinder.
“Our customers have also consistently rated our products and business highly. We have been named one of the 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Endpoint Protection Platforms. The ESET Endpoint Security received high ratings from enterprise-grade users, who recognised it for ease of implementation, reliability, timeliness of vendor response, and quality of technical support,” he adds.
Ensuring Security with Multi-layered Technologies
ESET uses multi-layered technologies such as DNA Detections, machine learning, UEFI scanner and Hostbased Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) that can detect and block a threat during its lifecycle in the system. In addition, their business solutions have consistently been acknowledged by independent security solutions testing organisations. Recently, they have been recently named a Strategic Leader – the highest possible position - in the 2020 Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Comparative Report by AV-Comparatives. Moreover, AVComparatives has also recognised ESET’s EDR solution for having the lowest 5-year total cost of ownership (per agent) aside from the industry-leading combined prevention/response capabilities. Thus, beating the second most affordable solution by over 15 percent.
One of the many success story of ESET
ESET and its partners have successfully deployed various security solutions to an international airline recently to keep them secure in cyberspace. The airline had previously encountered difficulties including an increased threat landscape and lack of resources to deal with security challenges. Moreover, due to their diverse range of departments and operations, the airline company required a sophisticated, fast and secure IT system. So by using ESET products, they enjoy greater protection, increased device control and scalability. Furthermore, ESET has also invested time into upskilling their security administrators as a value-added service.
“Eset’s vision has always been to enable everyone to enjoy the full potential of themselves and their technology in a secure digital world”
Scripting a Robust Roadmap Ahead
As the IT security industry is highly competitive, there are industry competitors on one side and cybercriminals on the other end. Thus requiring constant innovation to stay ahead of the game. Perfectly understanding this, ESET’s vision has always been to enable everyone to enjoy the full potential of themselves and their technology in a secure digital world.
“Having doubled our R&D investment compared to five years ago, we will continue to invest in developing cutting-edge new products and security solutions to keep our customers safe from cyberthreats. Also, the next era is expected to be shaped by 5G and IoT, we will see a rapid increase in connected devices with extremely low latency and more services will be running from the cloud instead of local machines. We will be designing our products to protect this ecosystem including those on the Cloud as well as at the ISP / telco level,” concludes Parvinder.
