are managed by a single pane of glass that can be installed on Windows or Linux. In addition to installation, ESET offers a virtual appliance that can be easily imported for quick and easy setup. Machine Learning: All ESET Endpoint products have been using machine learning in conjunction with all our other layers of defense since 1997. Specifically, machine learning is used in the form of consolidated output and neural networks. Use Case: PROBLEM: Some businesses want additional assurance that they are protected against ransomware attacks. They also want to ensure that their network drives are not encrypted.

•     Network Attack Protection is able to prevent ransomware from infecting a system by blocking exploits at the network layer.
•     Our layered defense includes a product-integrated sandbox capable of detecting malware that attempts to evade detection through obfuscation.
•     Use ESET’s cloud-based malware protection to automatically protect yourself against new threats without having to wait for the next detection update. Typical response time is 20 minutes.
•     All products include post-execution protection in the form of Ransomware Shield to ensure that organizations are protected against malicious file encryption.

If ESET File Security is unsure whether a potential threat exists, it can upload the sample to ESET Cloud Sandbox, Dynamic Threat Defense, to make a quality assessment of whether something is malicious.
The difference lies in ESET
Behavior-Based Detection – HIPS.

ESET’s Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) monitors system activity and uses a predefined set of rules to detect and stop suspicious system behavior.
Ransomware Protection:

An additional layer that protects users against ransomware. Our technology monitors and evaluates all running applications based on their behavior and reputation. It is designed to detect and block processes that resemble ransomware behavior.
Network Attack Protection

: ESET Network Attack Protection enhances the detection of known network-level vulnerabilities. It provides another important layer of protection against malware proliferation, network attacks, and the exploitation of vulnerabilities for which a patch has not yet been released or deployed.
Botnet Protection

: ESET Botnet Protection detects malicious communications used by botnets while identifying attack processes. Any detected malicious communication is blocked and reported to the user.
Office 365 OneDrive storage:

Once registered on a single server, ESET can scan OneDrive to reveal and monitor the trusted source of corporate storage.
Optional cloud sandboxing:

ESET Dynamic Threat Defense adds another layer of security to ESET File Security solutions by using cloud sandboxing technology to detect new types of threats never before seen.
AMSI/Protected Service Support: ESET products

rely on the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) to provide advanced malware protection for users, data, applications, and workloads. In addition, it leverages the Protected Service Interface, a new security module built into Windows that only allows signed and trusted code to load and provides better protection against code injection attacks. Unmatched performance: ESET products

continue to excel in performance, winning third-party tests that demonstrate how lightweight our devices are on systems. ESET File Security solutions are based on a 64-bit kernel and include DLL modules that save more memory, enable faster computer boot times, and allow native support for future Windows updates.
ESET’s cutting-edge technology:
Continuous development of state-of-the-art protection.
Our global research labs drive the development of ESET’s

unique technology . ESET uses multi-layered technologies that go far beyond the capabilities of simple antivirus protection. The figure below shows various core ESET technologies and a rough idea of ​​when and how they can detect and/or block a threat during its lifecycle within the system.

ESET UEFI Scanner

is the first internet security provider to integrate a special UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) protection layer into its solution. ESET UEFI Scanner verifies and strengthens the security of the pre-boot environment in accordance with the UEFI specification. It is designed to detect malicious components in firmware and report them to the user.

DNA Detections:

Detection types range from highly specific hashes to ESET DNA detections, which are complex definitions of malicious behavior and malware characteristics.

While malicious code can be easily modified or obfuscated by attackers, the behavior of objects is not as easily altered, and ESET DNA detections are designed to leverage this principle.

ESET Machine Learning

has developed an in-house machine learning engine called ESET Augur. It uses the combined power of neural networks (such as deep learning and long-term memory) and a hand-picked set of six classification algorithms. This allows it to generate consolidated output and help correctly label incoming samples as clean, potentially unwanted, or malicious. ESET

Cloud Malware Protection

is one of several technologies based on ESET’s LiveGrid® cloud system. Unknown, potentially malicious applications and other potential threats are monitored and reported to ESET Cloud via the ESET LiveGrid® feedback system.

Reputation and Caching:

When analyzing a file or URL, our products check the local cache for known malicious objects or benign objects on a whitelist before proceeding with the scan. This improves scan performance.
Next, our ESET LiveGrid® reputation system queries the object’s reputation (i.e., whether the object has been seen elsewhere and classified as malicious). This improves scan efficiency and allows us to share malware information with our customers more quickly.

Behavioral Detection and Blocking – HIPS:

ESET’s Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) monitors system activity and uses a predefined set of rules to detect suspicious system behavior. When such activity is identified, the HIPS self-defense mechanism prevents the attacking program or process from carrying out potentially dangerous activities.

Integrated Sandbox:

Today’s malware is often highly opaque and tries to evade detection as much as possible. To gain a clearer understanding and identify the true behavior hidden beneath the surface, we use sandboxing within the product. With this technology, ESET solutions emulate various computer hardware and software components to execute a suspicious sample in an isolated, virtualized environment.

Advanced Memory Scanner:

Advanced Memory Scanner is a unique ESET technology that effectively addresses a major problem with modern malware—the widespread use of obfuscation and/or encryption. To solve these problems, Advanced Memory Scanner monitors the behavior of a malicious process and analyzes it as soon as it is exposed in memory.

Exploit Blocker

typically monitors exploitable applications (browsers, document readers, email clients, Flash, Java, etc.) and doesn’t just target specific CVE identifiers, but focuses on exploitation techniques. When triggered, the process’s behavior is analyzed, and if it’s deemed suspicious, the threat can be immediately blocked on the machine. ESET

Ransomware

Shield is an additional layer that protects users against ransomware. This technology monitors and evaluates all running applications based on their behavior and reputation. It’s designed to detect and block processes that resemble ransomware behavior.

Protection against network attacks:

Protection against network attacks is an extension of firewall technology and improves the detection of known network vulnerabilities. It provides another important layer of protection against malware proliferation, network-managed attacks, and the exploitation of vulnerabilities for which a patch has not yet been released or deployed.

ESET Botnet Protection

detects malicious communications used by botnets and identifies attack processes. Any detected malicious communication is blocked and reported to the user.
