ESET, a cybersecurity leader in cybersecurity, today announced that it has expanded its unified cybersecurity platform, ESET PROTECT, with a subscription tier for businesses requiring all-in-one prevention, detection and response.
Available immediately, ESET PROTECT Elite delivers enterprises, small and midsize businesses (SMBs), and channel partners with enterprise-grade XDR for increased visibility and threat-hunting capabilities.
The offering combines multilayered endpoint protection with multi-factor authentication, server security, advanced threat defense, full disk encryption, mail security and cloud application protection.
Leveraging ESET’s 30 years of malware identification and incident response expertise, ESET PROTECT Elite protects against ransomware and zero-day threats by pairing ESET’s human expertise with proprietary cloud-based sandboxing to provide a powerful, isolated test environment.
For organizations that struggle with security resources and require full-time threat monitoring and threat hunting – including digital forensics, root cause analysis and remediation advice – ESET PROTECT Elite is available as part of the company’s ESET PROTECT MDR solution.
Also announced today, ESET has partnered with OPSWAT, a leader in IT, OT and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity solutions, to bring integrated vulnerability and patch management into the ESET PROTECT Platform.
ESET Vulnerability and Patch Management has been added to ESET PROTECT Complete and ESET PROTECT Elite to safeguard enterprises, SMBs and the managed service providers (MSPs) that protect them against a constantly evolving threat landscape.
ESET Vulnerability and Patch Management provides automatic and manual patching options for thousands of popular applications, such as Adobe Acrobat, Mozilla Firefox, and Zoom Client, for more than 35,000 common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs).
With centralized management from the ESET PROTECT Cloud console, organizations can assess security threats and manage patches across the entire network, ensuring timely detection and remediation of the latest zero-day vulnerabilities.
Multitenancy functionality enables organizations to enjoy full visibility over the entire network, yet be focused on a dedicated area. Vulnerabilities can be filtered and prioritized based on exposure score and severity using fully customizable vulnerability exception settings – with the option to schedule lower priority patches during off-peak times to avoid disruption.
ESET’s unified cybersecurity platform, ESET PROTECT, is a single-pane-of-glass console – available via the cloud and on premises – that provides centralized visibility, management, and insight. The ESET PROTECT platform integrates balanced breach prevention, detection and response capabilities with the company’s industry-leading managed and professional services and threat intelligence. It is multi-platform, simple, modular, adaptable, and continuously innovated.
With the launch of ESET PROTECT Elite, there are five subscription tiers to the ESET PROTECT Platform. The tiers expand on each other, starting with the ESET PROTECT console, modern endpoint protection and server security in ESET PROTECT Entry and expanding up to ESET PROTECT Elite and ESET PROTECT MDR for businesses with more sophisticated cybersecurity requirements.
