ESET enhances its European footprint with new ESET Nordics offices

Created: 2026-01-29 04:42:41

  • ESET Nordics, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, along with a satellite office in Göteborg, Sweden, join the ranks of ESET’s global commercial offices.
  • The new office will support entities based in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.
  • ESET Nordics will continue to deliver outstanding cybersecurity solutions and provide local support for both channel partners and end customers.

BRATISLAVA, COPENHAGEN (DK)January 5, 2026 — ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced the opening of its ESET Nordics branch in Copenhagen, Denmark, along with a satellite office in Göteborg, Sweden, both working together to bring ESET closer to its customers and partners in Northern Europe starting on January 1st, 2026.

As the world rapidly changes, driven by disruptive technologies and an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape, Europe’s need to guarantee its digital sovereignty has become essential to securing the region’s digital ecosystem. EU-based solutions, such as ESET, provide citizens, businesses, and governments with confidence that their data and, more importantly, their critical infrastructure are protected. This is increasingly vital amid growing cybercrime and state-aligned activity, marked by high-profile hacking attempts against hospitals, manufacturers, financial entities and other critical industries across the EU.

Thus, establishing ESET Nordics and its satellite office in Sweden is both part of the company’s long-term strategy to boost market growth in Europe's top IT security markets, but also an answer to the woes of customers and companies based in the Nordics, asking for a partner that could help them when the pressure is already mounting — rapidly, with local intelligence, and in their own language.

“The world’s changing. If a global cybersecurity company wants to properly reflect regional rules, regulations and overall, the populace’s needs, it must establish a local presence,” commented Pavol Holéczy, Vice President of EMEA Sales at ESET, “We’re proud of being recognized for our local commitments, and we will continue on delivering our portfolio of products and services in line with what our existing and prospective partners in the Nordics require,” Mr. Holéczy added.

This strategic expansion strengthens our presence across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland, helping ESET bridge the gap between its global offer and distinct regional needs.

“Showing up locally isn’t just good manners, it’s good business. Real relationships are built through proximity. Local presence means we speak the language, feel the rhythm, and earn trust the way only neighbors can,” said Leif Jensen, Country Manager for ESET Nordics.

The efficacy of this strategy is clearly displayed by the assessments of independent analysts like Forrester, ECSO, and KuppingerCole, commending ESET for its local presence and support that empowers its products and services like ESET MDR wherever they’re needed.

Founded in 1992, European Union-based ESET has been a dominant player in the endpoint security market. Since then, ESET has been gaining ground and growing its enterprise portfolio with specialized products and divisions like ESET Corporate Solutions, protecting some of the largest companies in the world. ESET security solutions are currently sold in over 178 markets protecting more than one billion people across the globe.
