ESET Technology

The ThreatSense.Net® automated file and statistics submission system gives ESET malware researchers an accurate global threat landscape around the clock. Our Virus Lab analyzes threat data to fine-tune heuristic and signature updates, eliminating new threats before they can do harm to your system. 

Engineered to be fast, light and accurate, ESET solutions are among most effective malware scanners in the industry. Combined with global malware intelligence and unobtrusive updates, ESET users get maximum protection all the time.

Signatures precisely identify malware and were the original approach to detecting malicious code. ESET ThreatSense® enhances this system by significantly reducing the scanning time needed to identify a particular form of malware.

As the first step towards proactive protection, ESET analysts create generic signatures that make it possible to capture a larger group of malware, including undiscovered variants of known malware.

Given the sheer amount and diversity of malware today, ESET code analysis improves the ability to detect any resemblance to known malicious code samples.

ESET subjects suspected malicious code to active monitoring, while it is executed in a protected environment. Based on the code’s behavior, ThreatSense® determines whether the given sample poses a threat and immediately flags or eliminates all harmful applications.

Performance: ESET features high scanning speed and low demands on system resources for highly adaptive and effective solutions.

Proactive Protection: From individual endpoints to the entire network, our industry-leading technology delivers uncompromising protection with behavior-based detection to discover known and emerging malware.

Usability: Enjoy advanced settings and management tools that reduce demands on IT resources and ensure complete oversight for network security.

While other antivirus solution providers boast about frequent signature updates, they impact network speed and storage without protecting your business from unknown and emerging (zero-day) threats. ESET's Virus Lab collects well over 100,000 unique malware samples per day. Our around-the-clock analysis of these samples, keep the signature database current. Combined with our low impact heuristic detection methods, it’s no wonder ESET is consistently awarded the highest ratings in proactive detection.

ESET makes it easy to deploy, configure and manage protection on thousands of workstations and servers on dispersed networks for a truly effective security solution that protects businesses without increasing IT overhead. ESET Business Edition products include ESET Remote Administrator, which enables IT managers to remotely install ESET solutions, run scans, adjust client configurations, monitor the security status for every endpoint, or identify unprotected computers —all from a single console.

Thanks to users of ESET solutions who participate in malware sample submission via ThreatSense.Net®, ESET Virus Lab specialists have access to vast volume of real-time threat-related data. ESET analysts use this input to continually update the engine’s scanning algorithms for a proactive approach to malware detection that consistently protects you at the highest levels possible.
