ESET Kick-starts 2007 with Industry’s Highest Global Recognition

SAN DIEGO—February 14, 2007— ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced that Info Security Products Guide, the world’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named ESET an Info Security “Hot Companies” winner for 2007 in the security category.

Selected from industry analysis of more than 500 prominent info security vendors worldwide, this prestigious honor comes to ESET based upon a stern selection criteria of 4Ps, namely Products, People, Performance and Potential behind the company’s growing success. The Hot Companies 2007 selection helps significantly raise the bar for the industry to provide end-users with effective and deployable protective solutions against the next generation of highly sophisticated and blended attacks. The evaluation process also included strong entrepreneurial spirit, seasoned executives with relevant experience, clear understanding of the security market, products and solutions that are positioned to take advantage of the emerging market opportunities, well developed revenue-growth model and clearly planned expansion strategies.

ESET is a global provider of security software for businesses and consumers. ESET NOD32 Antivirus software utilizes ThreatSense™ technology, a sophisticated detection system based on advanced heuristics, to proactively identify previously unknown viruses, Trojans, spyware and phishing attacks in real-time. ThreatSense is built into NOD32’s single scanning engine to provide comprehensive protection so users do not need to rely on additional point solutions for spyware and adware protection.

“Security is now one of the top three issues at almost every organization around the world, including at an individual level where identity thefts have increased rapidly over the past few months,” said Rake Narang, managing editor of Info Security Products Guide, published by Silicon Valley Communications. “Vendors that are building their success strategy based on the four pillars of strength, mainly the 4Ps under which we have evaluated security vendors of all sizes around the world, are the ones that are best positioned to keep your digital resources secured in 2007. ESET has proven to be a key player in the crowded antivirus market, providing companies with high proactive detection and performance.” 

“We are delighted to receive the ‘Hot Company 2007’ recognition by Info Security Products Guide,” said Rick Moy, vice president of marketing, ESET LLC. “This award is a testament to ESET’s advanced technology and the commitment of its global team, which made ESET the fastest growing antivirus company in the world in 2006.”
