Technology

Today’s dynamic and targeted malware necessitates a multilayered approach based on proactive and smart technologies allowing us to detect threats faster and at different stages of the cyber kill chain, helping all our customers benefit from stronger and more effective protection combining endpoint-based and cloud-augmented technologies.

Our products and technologies stand on three pillars:

1. ESET LIVEGRID

Whenever a zero-day threat such as ransomware is seen, the file is sent to our cloud-based malware protection system – LiveGrid®, where the threat is detonated and behavior is monitored. Results of this system are provided to all endpoints globally within minutes without requiring any updates.

2. MACHINE LEARNING

ESET has developed its own in-house machine learning engine, dubbed ESET Augur. It uses the combined power of neural networks (such as deep learning and long short-term memory) and a handpicked group of six classification algorithms. This allows it to generate a consolidated output and help correctly label the incoming sample as clean, potentially unwanted or malicious.

To offer the best detection rates and lowest possible number of false positives, ESET Augur engine is fine-tuned to cooperate with other protective technologies such as DNA, sandbox and memory analysis as well as extraction of behavioral features.

3. HUMAN EXPERTISE

World-class security researchers share elite know-how and intelligence to ensure the best round-the-clock, global threat intelligence.

ESET’s multilayered approach includes pre-execution, execution and post-execution layers.
