About Eset EPP

ESET Endpoint Protection is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed to protect endpoints such as desktops, laptops, servers, and mobile devices within an organization’s network. Developed by ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, Endpoint Protection offers a range of features to safeguard endpoints against various types of threats, including malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and other malicious activities.

Key features and aspects of ESET Endpoint Protection include:

Antivirus and Antispyware: Provides real-time protection against viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, adware, and other types of malware. It uses advanced detection algorithms and heuristic analysis to identify and block malicious files and processes.
Ransomware Protection: Includes proactive ransomware protection features to detect and block ransomware attacks before they can encrypt files and data. It also offers behavior-based detection mechanisms to identify ransomware-like behavior and stop threats in real-time.
Firewall: Offers a built-in firewall to monitor and control inbound and outbound network traffic. It helps prevent unauthorized access to endpoints and ensures that only trusted applications and services can communicate over the network.
Web Control and Filtering: Enables administrators to enforce web browsing policies and control access to websites based on categories, URLs, and reputation. It helps protect endpoints from malicious websites, phishing scams, and other web-based threats.
Device Control: Allows organizations to manage and control the use of external devices such as USB drives, external hard drives, and printers. Administrators can define policies to restrict or allow access to specific devices based on user roles and permissions.
Advanced Threat Detection: Utilizes machine learning, sandboxing, and behavioral analysis techniques to identify and mitigate advanced threats such as zero-day exploits, polymorphic malware, and targeted attacks.
Centralized Management: Offers a centralized management console that allows administrators to deploy, configure, and monitor endpoint protection across the entire network. It provides visibility into endpoint security status, alerts, and compliance reports.
Low System Impact: Designed to have minimal impact on system performance and resource utilization. It runs efficiently in the background without slowing down endpoints or disrupting user productivity.
Multi-Platform Support: Supports various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, providing comprehensive protection for diverse endpoint environments.

ESET Endpoint Protection is suitable for organizations of all sizes and industries, offering scalable solutions tailored to meet the security needs of small businesses, enterprises, and managed service providers (MSPs). It provides reliable and proactive defense against evolving cyber threats, helping organizations maintain a secure and compliant IT infrastructure.
