Facing ransomware threats head-on – by ESET
Among today’s most persistent cybersecurity challenges, ransomware stands out for its destructive potential. Capable of halting business operations within hours, ransomware is often part of multi-stage attacks, sometimes exploiting supply chain vulnerabilities—as seen in the 2021 Kaseya incident. According to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, one-third of breaches now involve ransomware or other extortion techniques. The report also highlights that ransomware was a top threat across 92% of industries, making it a near-universal concern for organizations worldwide.
A Multi-Layered Defense Approach
ESET tackles modern threats with a next-gen, multi-layered approach to cybersecurity. Its technology stack includes behavioral detection through Host-Based Intrusion Prevention (HIPS), machine learning, advanced memory scanning, and network attack protection. These layers are further strengthened by ESET LiveGrid®, a cloud-based threat intelligence system, and features like UEFI scanning for firmware-level protection. This ensures a deep, resilient defense across endpoints, cloud environments, and mobile devices.
This layered security model not only focuses on early detection and prevention but also provides adaptive responses to evolving threats, minimizing the risk of business disruption.
Ransomware Remediation, Reimagined
At ESET World 2025, the company introduced a new Ransomware Remediation feature that bridges prevention and recovery. When ransomware-like behavior is detected, ESET creates targeted, protected file backups that are shielded from tampering by attackers. This is especially critical in cases where standard backups may already be compromised. This results in faster recovery, minimal downtime and reduced data loss.
MDR: Security as a Service
Not all organizations have the in-house resources to deal with complex cyber threats. This is where ESET’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) comes in—offering 24/7 expert monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response. These services act as an extension of internal IT teams, giving businesses access to cybersecurity professionals without the need to build a full-scale SOC.
ESET MDR helps organizations detect hidden threats, understand the scope of incidents, and respond quickly to limit impact. It provides visibility, scalability, and peace of mind—especially for mid-sized companies looking to elevate their security posture.
Cyber Threat Intelligence for Proactive Protection
Also launched at ESET World 2025 is the expansion of ESET’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) services, including new threat data feeds, custom alerting, and APT reporting tiers. With CTI, organizations of all size can monitor advanced persistent threats, analyze global attack trends, and anticipate targeted campaigns.
Cyber threat intelligence is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. ESET helps organizations make data-driven decisions based on actionable insights, making them better equipped to defend against sophisticated cyber adversaries.
