Why do customers appreciate our file server security?
Multilayered defense
A single layer of defense is not enough for today's constantly evolving threat landscape. ESET protection for file servers detects malware pre-execution, during execution and post-execution.
Central management
ESET File Security solutions can be managed from the ESET PROTECT management console, which is a cloud-based, unified threat management tool.
Cross-platform Support
Protect your file servers on multiple OSes and platforms including Windows Server, Office365 OneDrive, Linux and Microsoft Azure.
Common use cases
Worried about
Fileless malware?
Fileless malware is a relatively new threat, and due to only existing in memory, it requires a different approach than traditional file-based malware.
Worried about
Ransomware?
Some businesses require extra insurance against ransomware attacks. They also want to ensure their network drives are safe from undesired encryption.
Worried about
Zero-day threats?
Zero-day threats are a major concern for businesses due to not knowing how to protect themselves against something that they have never seen before.
What makes our solutions a perfect fit for your needs?

Machine learning
All ESET products currently use machine learning in conjunction with all of our other defense layers and have done so since 1997.
Behavioral Detection - HIPS
ESET's Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) monitors system activity and uses a pre-defined set of rules to recognize and stop suspicious system behavior.
Ransomware Shield
An additional layer protecting users from ransomware. Our technology monitors and evaluates all executed applications based on their behavior and reputation.
Advanced Memory Scanner
ESET Advanced Memory Scanner monitors the behavior of a malicious process and scans it once it decloaks in memory.
Network Attack Protection
ESET Network Attack Protection improves detection of known vulnerabilities on the network level.
