ESET today introduced ESET NeoCortex, its specialized, foundational cybersecurity model powering ESET LiveCortex.
As an AI model built on world-model architecture, ESET NeoCortex enhances the process of reducing raw telemetry to focused incidents by learning how digital environments behave, how events relate and what may happen next, helping security teams investigate incidents more efficiently and identify potential attack progression early.
Developed and operated on ESET’s own infrastructure, ESET NeoCortex keeps sensitive security data and model operations under ESET’s control. This self-hosted approach reduces reliance on third-party AI providers and supports stronger data governance, consistent protection and operational continuity reducing customer exposure to shifts in geopolitical, commercial, and AI provider spheres.
“AI is accelerating both cyberattacks and cyberdefenses. With ESET NeoCortex, we are applying our AI investment to develop specialized foundational cybersecurity intelligence that remains under our control and strengthens, rather than replaces, human expertise,” said Juraj Malcho, CTO at ESET. “This is an important step toward a new generation of predictive, AI-powered security operations leveraging world-model architecture.”
