ESET Research
Recognized cybersecurity research & discoveries serving global clients
Research has always been central to ESET and its technology since the company's inception. The journey began with a significant discovery in 1987 when ESET co-founders Miroslav Trnka and Peter Paško identified one of the world's first computer viruses, known as Vienna.
Over the years, ESET and its researchers have been recognised for numerous discoveries and have received accolades for their work. In 2018, ESET made a notable discovery with LoJax, the first UEFI rootkit detected in the wild, used by the infamous Sednit APT group.
Our researchers frequently present at prestigious industry conferences, including RSA, Black Hat, Virus Bulletin, and CARO, among others. They are also committed to educating future researchers and security experts by teaching at universities.
