Key benefits

What makes ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solutions a critical addition to an organization's tailored cybersecurity?

HIGH-PERFORMANCE SCANNING ENGINE

ESET's core scanning engine is optimized for efficiency, ultra-high throughput and accuracy. ESET’s multilayered scanning combines signature-based detection, heuristic analysis, machine learning, and behavioral monitoring to deliver comprehensive protection against known, emerging and never-before-seen threats.

BUILT FOR SCALE

A multi-threaded architecture, smart file hashing, and dynamic load balancing ensure near-instant responses in high-volume environments.

ADVANCED MACHINE LEARNING DETECTION

Machine learning and neural network models trained on extensive real-world malware datasets. AI-driven protection built on nearly 30 years of advanced machine learning, trained on billions of proprietary samples gathered from ESET’s own intelligence networks; protection is continuously evolving to detect and intercept never-before-seen threats.

FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

Cloud-native service, fully containerized on-premises solution, or air-gapped deployment. Tailored and flexible deployment: Easily adaptable to your unique operational needs, with flexible cloud or on-premises deployment options. Can also be delivered as a fully managed service.

SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATED

Integration is simple, via a low-latency enterprise API or via comprehensive SDK. White-labeling is supported so you can deliver scanning under your own brand.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE SUPPORT

Custom SLAs and 24/7 access to ESET's top-ranked enterprise support teams provide operational confidence and rapid issue resolution.

Challenges vary. 
Our solutions are purpose-built to address yours.

Security & Threat Protection

CHALLENGES

  • Detecting advanced threats and malware with the accuracy and resilience required in complex environments is increasingly difficult.
  • Exposure to zero-day and emerging threats increases demand for more adaptive, intelligence-led protection.
  • Security gaps in containerized application environments can disrupt development workflows and increase risk.

SOLUTIONS

  • Tailored, multilayered protection: Our experts consult on your specific environment, then apply ESET’s multilayered scanning—combining signature-based detection, heuristic analysis, Machine learning, and behavioral monitoring—to deliver comprehensive protection against known and emerging threats.
  • Advanced AI-driven threat detection: Our advanced AI-based models not only scan your files for all known threats, but also for new zero-day threats, and even for never-before-seen attacks, helping you stay ahead of evolving adversaries.
  • Container native scanning: ESET’s container-based scanning architecture enables flexible and isolated antimalware scanning within containerized environments, ensuring compatibility with modern DevOps workflows and microservices.

Operational Efficiency & Risk Reduction

CHALLENGES

  • Your security team is under pressure to make fast, confident decisions while minimizing false positives and reducing operational risk.
  • Inconsistent performance and delayed response times during peak scanning demand can impact efficiency and increase exposure.

SOLUTIONS

  • High performance with exceptional accuracy: ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solutions delivers lightning-fast file scanning, and high detection accuracy with minimal false positives, thanks to leading-edge detection technology, continuously developed over more than 30 years.
  • Automatic scaling and real time response: The scanning infrastructure automatically scales based on load, distributing traffic to ensure instant, real time responses even during peak demand.

Policy Alignment & Compliance

CHALLENGES

  • Scanning capabilities must align with corporate security policies and operational requirements across the organization.
  • Supporting diverse infrastructure models while meeting compliance expectations adds operational and architectural complexity.

SOLUTIONS

  • Policy-driven customization: Scanning is configured to match your environment, security policies, and specific compliance requirements.
  • Expert-led implementation: ESET experts deliver scanning solutions based on deep knowledge of sector-specific needs, ensuring alignment with your regulatory, operational, and business objectives.

Scalability & Integration

CHALLENGES

  • Integrating scanning capabilities into existing business systems can create overhead and slow implementation timelines.
  • Scanning large volumes of files and handling complex file structures requires speed, reliability, and scalability.

SOLUTIONS

  • Seamless, low-overhead integration: Our scanning solutions are designed for easy integration into existing systems, minimizing development effort and accelerating time-to-deployment across diverse environments.
  • High-throughput, elastic scanning: ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solutions efficiently processes large volumes of files while automatically scaling to demand, ensuring fast, reliable, low latency scanning even during traffic spikes.

How it works

By integrating ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solutions into your core security practices, your organization strengthens resilience against evolving threats, reduces exposure, and maintains control over sensitive environments. ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solutions operates via a three-stage process:

  • Files are submitted into the scanning workflow
  • The scanning engine is available via high-speed gRPC API
  • API is called via ESET agent (ready-to-use reference implementation) or via a direct integration developed by your security team
  • Scan results are returned as part of the response to the client system
  • Workflow continues based on scan verdict (reject, quarantine, proceed)

YOUR SYSTEM

Ultra-fast response to protect against known and zero-day threats

  • The static scanning engine performs malware detection, inspects the file source code and identifies suspicious patterns, and applies Machine learning models to uncover hidden or obfuscated threats
  • It provides lightning-fast response (clean/not clean), in milliseconds
  • File load is distributed to scanners by load balancer to enable high-throughput
  • Where malware is not found by the static scanning engine, but the file qualifies for advanced analysis, the file is further submitted to the advanced dynamic scanning engine

STATIC SCANNING ENGINE

Unpackaging & Antimalware Scanning

Adaptive Source Code Scanning & Comprehensive DNA Analysis

State-of-the-art detection of never-before-seen threats, in minutes

  • Advanced Al-based deep scanning for thorough threat detection
  • File reputation is checked using ESET's global threat intelligence and feedback system
  • The dynamic scanning engine executes the file in a simulated environment—a secure, cloud-based sandbox—and conducts detonation and deep behavioral analysis.
  • The system generates detailed reports, highlighting malicious actions and anomalies
  • In specific cases, files are submitted to the ESET Virus Lab for manual analysis

DYNAMIC SCANNING ENGINE

Advanced Detonation Techniques & Detailed Behavioral Analysis
