ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, today launched the new ESET PROTECT portfolio – designed for the AI era to simplify cybersecurity for businesses of all sizes. These investments expand on ESET's AI-native portfolio as an all-in-one offering that secures AI use, reduces the burden of security operations, trains employees to identify threats, addresses business risks before attacks arise, and strengthens resilience.
Designed for businesses of all sizes, the new ESET PROTECT portfolio wraps innovative AI Security, cyber warranty, cybersecurity awareness training and more into simplified, dynamic bundles.
As organizations rapidly adopt AI tools and autonomous agents—often without IT oversight—ESET has continued to expand its portfolio to help customers secure AI itself, reducing the security and compliance blind spots created by shadow AI. By bundling cutting-edge AI security solutions directly into all ESET PROTECT tiers, the offering ensures even the smallest businesses can improve their cyber posture while embracing innovation.
Today's reimagined portfolio is more than a product update; it is a shift toward a cybersecurity-as-a-service model that helps businesses achieve stronger proactive protection with less complexity, fewer operational demands, and direct access to expert support.
The ESET PROTECT portfolio, with new pricing and expanded to support smaller businesses, is offered in three tiers:
ESET PROTECT Core establishes a new baseline of protection for all customers by securing their AI stacks, while also protecting against ransomware and phishing, and offering comprehensive protection against zero-day threats. Available for 5 seats and above.

To address an AI era, these offerings include AI Agent Security, AI Behavioral Monitoring and AI Conversation Security. Built by ESET technologists, these AI innovations are proprietary - delivering supply chain security by design and backed by 20 years of AI and ML innovation at ESET.
For customers looking for multi-attack vector protection, Plus packages are available at each tier to support mail security, MFA, vulnerability and patch management, and more.
