Cloud Workload Protection

A cybersecurity solution designed to protect workloads (virtual machines) in public cloud environments. CWP provides visibility, threat detection, and runtime protection against vulnerabilities and cyber-attacks targeting cloud-hosted applications.

ESET Cloud Workload Protection
Protect your cloud virtual machines (VMs) from advanced cyber-threats across your cloud or hybrid environment.

Endpoint protection

Endpoint protection platform (EPP) is a security solution deployed on company devices to prevent cyber attacks, detect malicious activity, and provide instant remediation capabilities.

ESET Endpoint Security

Multilayered protection across all platforms

Why do customers appreciate our cloud security solution?

Simplicity

Enjoy seamless integration with public cloud providers (AWS, Azure and GCP). Use the ESET PROTECT console for easy centralized cloud VM and endpoint management. Licensing is simple—get one subscription for endpoint and cloud VMs security as required.

Effectiveness

Proven technology provides real-time detection and automated threat prevention that goes far beyond native cloud security. A lightweight agent is deployed on your VMs to achieve increased security for your assets without compromising system performance.

Flexibility

Scale your security as you grow or your requirements change. Mix and match unit counts with endpoints in a hybrid cloud setup or in multi-cloud environments.

Common use cases

Worried about

Costly disruptions or downtime?

You want to be agile and benefit from the power of the cloud, but without proper protection, a single ransomware or malware attack can halt operations and lead to expensive downtime.

See ESET solution

Worried about

Data breaches and rapid attack escalation?

You want to scale securely in the cloud, but without strong security measures in place and real-time visibility, attackers can compromise exposed workloads quickly.

See ESET solution

Worried about

Losing visibility & control?

Hybrid environments add complexity. Securing on-prem endpoints and cloud VMs without the right tools leaves gaps in monitoring and management, making it harder to stop threats before they strike.

Risk mitigation

PROBLEM AREA

Unprotected cloud VMs are vulnerable to ransomware and malware infections. A single breach can halt operations, cause data loss, and lead to expensive downtime.

SOLUTION

ESET Cloud Workload Protection delivers real-time, agent-based protection for cloud VMs across Azure, AWS, and GCP. Integrated XDR capabilities detect anomalies early, minimizing operational risk.

PROTECTION APPLIED

Advanced malware detection and exploit blocking
XDR monitoring for suspicious file executions
Automated remediation policies

Data stored in the cloud?

PROBLEM AREA

Cloud VMs face similar risks as traditional endpoints, but are often more exposed due to constant connectivity and dynamic workloads. Without deep visibility into processes, behaviors, and lateral movement attempts, advanced attacks can escalate quickly.

SOLUTION

ESET Cloud Workload Protection extends full XDR capabilities to cloud-based virtual machines. It provides deep visibility by continuously collecting rich, low-level telemetry and security signals, enabling security teams to detect and investigate advanced malware, fileless attacks, misuse of legitimate tools, and suspicious user or application behavior in real time.

PROTECTION APPLIED

Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS)
XDR correlation of login attempts and privilege changes
Network Attack Protection to block suspicious outbound traffic

Ransomware, unknown or questionable files?

PROBLEM AREA

SMBs often lack centralized visibility across on-prem and cloud workloads, leaving blind spots that attackers exploit. Fragmented security tools make it impossible to assess the full attack surface.

SOLUTION

ESET CWP integrates with ESET PROTECT to provide a single console for complete visibility and control over all workloads (on-prem and cloud). Automated policies ensure consistent protection across environments.

PROTECTION APPLIED

Centralized security management of all VMs and endpoints
Policy-based automated deployment
XDR telemetry for threat detection

Cloud Security

ESET Cloud Office Security

Antispam
Now using an enhanced, award-winning engine with improved performance, this essential component filters all spam emails and keeps user mailboxes free of unsolicited or undesired messages.

Anti-Phishing
Prevents users from accessing web pages that are known to be phishing sites. Email messages can contain links that lead to phishing webpages. ESET Cloud Office Security searches the message body and the subject of incoming email messages to identify such links (URLs). The links are compared against the phishing database, which is being constantly updated.

Automatic protection
With this option enabled, admins can be sure that new users created within the Microsoft 365 tenant will be automatically protected without the need to go to the console to add them separately.

Multitenancy
Add unlimited tenants and serve multiple companies from a single dedicated ESET Cloud Office Security console.

Reports
Reports allow admins to view the most crucial data in a convenient way. The reports are prepared in PDF or CSV formats and can be both recurrently scheduled or generated on-demand.

User reports with quarantine release New
An admin can let employees have visibility into what is kept in quarantine. Once an email or any kind of object is put into quarantine, employees can receive an email with information about what has been quarantined and why. For spam detections, the end-user can also release an email from quarantine instead of an admin.

Anti-Malware
Scans all incoming emails and attachments as well as all new and changed files. This helps keep each user’s mailbox free of malware and prevents the spread of malware through cloud storage across multiple devices.

Advanced Threat Defense New
Proactive threat defense against new, never-before-seen type of threats. Utilizes advanced adaptive scanning, cutting-edge machine learning, cloud sandboxing and in-depth behavioral analysis.

Notifications
Notifications greatly improve admins’ efficiency by removing the need to constantly check the dashboard. When a potentially suspicious new activity is detected within ESET Cloud Office Security, it can send out an email to notify admins or users so that they are immediately made aware of the threat.

Homoglyph protection
Scans email for deceptive characters, including those borrowed from various global alphabets. This ensures your organization is better protected against attacks that mimic legitimate email addresses, enhancing overall email security.

Rules
ESET’s comprehensive rule system allows administrators to manually define email filtering conditions and actions to take with the filtered emails.

Subscription to Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or Google Cloud Platform to connect with virtual machines (supported OS distributions: Linux and Windows).

Note: Exact protection features and XDR functionality availability may vary depending on the cloud service provider and OS distribution used for VMs.
