Ransomware and zero-day threat detection

Detect new, never-before-seen types of threats. ESET utilizes several different artificial intelligence models once a file is submitted.

Granular reports

An admin can create a report from ESET LiveGuard Advanced data in the ESET PROTECT console. They can either use one of the pre-defined reports or create a custom one.

Transparent, full visibility

Every analyzed sample status is visible in the ESET PROTECT console, showing data sent to ESET LiveGrid®. For privacy, you can also require immediate post-analysis deletion of samples.

Mobility

Nowadays, employees often do not work on the premises. Our advanced threat defense analyzes files no matter where users are.

Automatic protection

The endpoint or server product automatically decides whether a sample is good, bad or unknown.

Proactive protection

If a sample is found to be suspicious, it is blocked from executing, pending analysis by ESET LiveGuard Advanced. Upon detection, all endpoints in the network are protected within minutes.

ESET LiveGuard Advanced

Ransomware and zero-day threat detection
Detect new, never-before-seen types of threats. ESET utilizes three different artificial intelligence models once a file is submitted. After that, it runs the sample through a full sandbox, simulating user behavior to trick anti-evasive techniques. Next, a deep learning neural network is used to compare the behavior seen versus historical behavioral data. Finally, the latest version of ESET's scanning engine is used to take everything apart and analyze it for anything unusual.

Transparent, full visibility
Every analyzed sample status is visible in the ESET PROTECT console, showing data sent to ESET LiveGrid®. For privacy, you can also require immediate post-analysis deletion of samples.

Automatic protection
The endpoint or server product automatically decides whether a sample is good, bad or unknown. If the sample is unknown, it is sent to ESET LiveGuard Advanced for analysis. Once the analysis is finished, the result is shared, and the endpoint products respond accordingly.

Mail Security protection
Not only does ESET LiveGuard Advanced work with files, but it also works directly with ESET Mail Security, to ensure that malicious emails are not delivered to your organization.

Granular reports
An admin can create a report from ESET LiveGuard Advanced data in the ESET PROTECT console. They can either use one of the pre-defined reports or make a custom one.

Mobility
Nowadays, employees often do not work on the premises. Our advanced threat defense analyzes files no matter where users are.

Proactive protection
If a sample is found to be suspicious, it is blocked from executing, pending analysis by ESET LiveGuard Advanced. Upon detection, all endpoints in the network are protected within minutes.

Tailored customization
ESET allows per-computer detailed policy configuration for ESET LiveGuard Advanced so the admin can control what is sent and what should happen based on the receiving result.

Manual submission
At any time, a user or admin can submit samples via an ESET compatible product for analysis and get the full result. Admins will see who sent what and what the result was directly in the ESET PROTECT console.

How our advanced, multilayered analysis works

ESET LiveGuard Advanced is a cloud-based threat defense solution that executes all submitted suspicious samples in an isolated ESET HQ cloud test environment and evaluates their behavior using threat intelligence feeds, multiple internal tools for static and dynamic analysis, and reputation data to detect zero-day threats. Four layers are used to analyze samples, but not all of these have to be used if we’re sure about the result in advance.
