In order to select the award recipient, Frost & Sullivan analysts quantify several market factors for each participant according to predetermined criteria. Each company's customer base and revenues are compared year-on-year to monitor customer response and market expansion. Candidates for the Frost & Sullivan Customer Value Enhancement Award are companies that continue to demonstrate solid growth rates, in both market expansion and customer retention.

In 2010, ESET saw extensive growth with its award-winning anti-malware solutions, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, ESET Smart Security and ESET Cybersecurity for Mac. As ESET's latest security offering, ESET Cybersecurity for Mac leverages the company's ThreatSense engine to protect against malicious attacks, while also providing users access to online cybercrime awareness training. In addition to recognizing ESET for its comprehensive endpoint security products, Frost & Sullivan acknowledged the work that the company has done with its "Securing Our eCity" education initiative, which is a proactive movement created to help users defend themselves against cyber threats and be safe online.
