Equipment ranging from legacy hardware and multiple OSes to the latest mobile devices.

Users and equipment in a range of locations, with the need to protect both school-issued and personal devices.

We chose ESET because of deployment, cost of the suite, and overall effectiveness. Not to mention the awesome ‘low footprint’ of ESET. In the past three years, we have caught and stopped over 140,000 infections. Protection of that level speaks for itself.
