Why do customers appreciate our server security?
Multilayered defense
A single layer of defense is not enough for today's constantly evolving threat landscape. ESET protection for file servers detects malware pre-execution, during execution and post-execution.
Central management
ESET File Security solutions can be managed from the ESET PROTECT management console, which is a cloud-based, unified threat management tool.
Cross-platform Support
Protect your file servers on multiple OSes and platforms including Windows Server, Microsoft 365, OneDrive and Linux.
Common use cases
Worried about
Fileless malware?
Fileless malware only exists in memory – there is no need for the attacker to install additional software. Preventing this kind of attack, therefore, requires a different approach to file-based malware.
Worried about
Ransomware?
Ransomware remains one of the top threats to business continuity across all industries. Company servers deserve extra protection against unwanted encryption, and organizations deserve an extra level of prevention against extortion.
Worried about
Zero-day threats?
Zero-day threats are a major concern for businesses due to not knowing how to protect themselves against something that they have never seen before.
