Unwavering support to Ukraine
Since 2014, ESET has played a key role in protecting Ukraine, working with several entities in the country to provide intelligence and help protect critical infrastructure. In 2022, ESET became the country’s top cybersecurity provider. Our commitment to Ukraine has become an essential mission across ESET. Our researchers work tirelessly to detect, block, track, and report on new cyberattacks, while our local support teams actively help organisations respond and recover.
