Why do customers appreciate our file server security?
Multilayered defence
A single layer of defence 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, Office365, OneDrive and Linux.
Common use cases
Worried about
Fileless malware?
Fileless malware is a relatively new threat, and due to only existing in memory, it requires a different approach from traditional file-based malware.
Worried about
Ransomware?
Some businesses require extra insurance against ransomware attacks. They also want to ensure their network drives are safe from undesired encryption.
Worried about
Zero-day threats?
Zero-day threats are a major concern for many businesses, due to them not knowing how to protect against something they have never seen before.
What makes our solutions a perfect fit for your needs?

Machine learning
All ESET products currently use machine learning in conjunction with all of our other defence layers and have done so since 1997.
Behavioural Detection – HIPS
ESET's Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) monitors system activity and uses a pre-defined set of rules to recognise and stop suspicious system behaviour.
Ransomware shield
An additional layer of protection against ransomware. Our technology evaluates all executed applications based on their behaviour and reputation, with added CPU telemetry from Intel® Threat Detection Technology for enhanced ransomware detection.
Advanced Memory Scanner
ESET Advanced Memory Scanner monitors the behaviour of a malicious process and scans it once it decloaks in memory.
Network Attack Protection
ESET Network Attack Protection improves detection of known vulnerabilities on the network level.
Protection for Linux servers
ESET provides installers for the most popular distributions of Unix-based systems, including the ‘Ready’ variations of RedHat and SuSE that comply with the File-System-Hierarchy standard.
