ESET, a global cybersecurity leader, is pleased to announce that ESET PROTECT Enterprise has been rigorously tested and named a Strategic Leader in the 2023 AV-Comparatives Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Comparative Report. In this assessment, conducted by the esteemed independent testing organization AV-Comparatives, ESET PROTECT Enterprise outperformed 11 other vendors in 50 real-world scenarios testing prevention and response. The resultant EPR CyberRisk Quadrant factors in product efficacy in breach prevention, the calculated savings, and the product’s purchase, operational accuracy, and workflow delay costs.
ESET PROTECT Enterprise version 10.1, which includes ESET PROTECT and ESET INSPECT, has proven its effectiveness in providing robust enterprise prevention and response capabilities against threats of high concern for enterprises. During the test, it effectively countered threats targeted at business users, particularly by halting threats before they could breach organizational networks.
The product displayed a set of safeguards, effectively protecting enterprise systems and networks against the tested scenarios, and achieving the highest detection rate among all products tested. Overall, ESET PROTECT Enterprise showed a 100% Active Response rate and a 100% Passive Response rate across all scenarios, demonstrating its ability to automatically stop attacks and report them accurately. Its alignment with MITRE ATT&CK® tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) greatly assists even entry-level SOC analysts in conducting detailed investigations and escalating incidents when necessary.
As described in the report, ESET PROTECT Enterprise stands out with its high detection rates, minimal false positives, and intuitive design. Enterprises that transitioned to ESET may not only experience enhanced security but also reduce IT costs significantly in comparison to other vendor solutions.
Roman Kováč, Chief Research Officer at ESET, noted: “Being named a Strategic Leader in the 2023 EPR Comparative Report makes us immensely proud. This recognition demonstrates our commitment to providing top-tier cybersecurity solutions for businesses globally.
