Frequently Asked Questions

Still deciding? Here's what most businesses ask before switching to ESET.

What is ESET PROTECT Platform?

ESET PROTECT Platform is a modern, balanced security ecosystem built on the technological superiority of ESET LiveSense — ESET's multilayered technologies, shaped by 30 years of human expertise, cybersecurity-focused machine learning, and ESET LiveGrid, our global cloud-based reputation tool.

It integrates balanced breach prevention, detection and response capabilities, complemented by ESET's managed and professional services and threat intelligence. It's simple, modular, adaptable, and continuously developed with customers' requirements at the forefront.

What are the ESET PROTECT Platform modules?

ESET PROTECT Platform modules:

  • Modern Endpoint Protection
  • Extended Detection & Response
  • Server Security
  • Mobile Threat Defense
  • Encryption
  • Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Advanced Threat Defense
  • Mail Server Security
  • Cloud Application Protection
  • Cloud Workload Protection
  • Vulnerability & Patch Management
  • Threat Intelligence
  • MDR Services
  • Premium Support
  • Console
  • AI Advisor

Together they protect your entire business environment — endpoints, servers, mobiles, cloud applications, cloud workloads, mail and SharePoint environments — across all operating systems, with ESET's trademark balanced protection, a robust and simple-to-use architecture, and the freedom to deploy in the cloud or on-premises according to your preference.

Against which threats will the ESET PROTECT Platform secure my company?

The specific threats you're protected against depend on which ESET PROTECT tier you choose, but every tier uses multilayered technologies that go well beyond what a basic antivirus or antimalware tool can do.

Even the entry-level ESET PROTECT tiers give you top-tier multilayered protection and threat intelligence, covering ransomware, botnets, targeted attacks, data breaches, zero-day threats, fileless attacks and advanced persistent threats — spanning the prevent, detect and respond phases.

As you move up the tiers, the protection becomes more sophisticated, adding measures such as Advanced Threat Defense and XDR under a zero-trust approach.

  • ESET PROTECT Entry
  • ESET PROTECT Advanced
  • ESET PROTECT Complete
  • ESET PROTECT Elite
  • ESET PROTECT MDR

"Sleek interface and works as expected every time." — Allen L., Founder, via G2.

Do I have to pay for the ESET PROTECT Platform separately?
No — there's no additional fee for using the ESET PROTECT Platform. Every solution tier automatically includes it, with the console bundled in at no extra licence cost whether you run it in the cloud or deploy it on your own infrastructure.
Can I try ESET PROTECT Platform solutions before buying?

Absolutely. If you'd like to see the platform's capabilities first, we recommend watching a product demo and a walkthrough video showing how an ESET security module is set up and deployed.

For a hands-on look, request a free 30-day, no-commitment trial of our full-feature subscription — it's straightforward to install and deploy.

Submit a trial request and our local team will follow up to help with any questions or specific business needs.

What is the difference between the ESET PROTECT Platform and ESET PROTECT Console?
ESET PROTECT Platform is ESET's entire cybersecurity ecosystem, while ESET PROTECT Console is the unified management interface that gives you real-time, full visibility into your network.
Cloud or on-prem deployment of ESET PROTECT Platform?

ESET PROTECT Platform gives you the freedom to choose either cloud or on-premises deployment, with cloud offering the broadest set of benefits.

Cloud deployment gives you anywhere, anytime access to your company's security data from any connected device, without needing to work around networking issues like VPNs. Compared to on-prem, it keeps your information continuously up to date and is maintained by ESET, freeing your IT team to focus on core business priorities. In short, cloud deployment puts the platform's full capability at your fingertips.
