Preventing viruses from showing up on your doorstep since the ’80s

With the dawn of new technologies comes the rise of threats, which couldn’t be more true for computers. The PC, or personal computer, began gaining popularity with the public around the 1970s and was susceptible to threats early on. This is why the four founders created ESET in 1987 and took on the role of the defender of the PC. Fast forward to 2023: ESET has 110M+ users relying on their innovative technology for threat detection and response and is used by MSPs for protecting their customers’ assets.

“Being preventative is the most important thing,” said Tousley. “We’re pouring our money into our R&D to ensure that we’re ahead of threats and preventing them before they even show up on the doorstep.” Since 2016, ESET has doubled its R&D investment to ensure they provide MSPs and IT technicians with the best protection.

Tousley turned our attention to the pillars of ESET’s solutions, which include:

Layered defense

• It’s important to have multiple solutions working together to protect against all types of cyber attacks.

Integrated architecture

• You must ensure that the solutions are built to work together, which is why ESET’s layered defense tools are built in-house.

Low-performance impact

• ESET has a light footprint on the endpoints and a light resource load. This means it is running strong and doing the work while staying quiet on the endpoints for users.

Ease of use

• ESET is extremely easy to deploy and configure, especially with its partnership with Atera. Their troubleshooting documentation is also well maintained, making it easy to read through and understand.
