Eset launched its new endpoint security management platform, Eset Protect, in selected countries. The new platform brings automated management of Eset’s wide portfolio of security products with two deployment options: on-premises and cloud. 

Eset Protect Cloud provides a cloud-based console for managing Eset security products deployed in a network with real-time visibility into both on-premises and off-premises endpoints. The console allows IT administrators to deploy Eset security products, execute tasks, enforce security policies, monitor system status, and respond to problems or detections on managed endpoints across all platforms, including desktops, servers, virtual machines, and even mobile devices, the company said. In addition to integration for security information and event management (SIEM) tools, reporting, and a fully customisable notification system, Eset Protect Cloud allows IT administrators to take immediate action against incidents. 

The console allows users to manage existing Eset products, including Eset Endpoint Security, Eset Dynamic Threat Defense, and Eset Full Disk Encryption. Customers of Eset Cloud Administrator will be automatically upgraded to Eset Protect Cloud from launch day.

Eset is offering a selection of subscriptions tailored to the specific business needs of home offices, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), managed services providers (MSPs) and enterprises. All business subscriptions include either an on-premises endpoint management platform (Eset Protect; formerly Eset Security Management Center) or a cloud-based one (Eset Protect Cloud), along with Eset Endpoint Security by default. For customers looking only for email security, Eset will also offer an Eset Protect Mail Plus subscription. 

The Eset Protect Advanced subscription was designed with the needs of SMBs and MSPs in mind, while the Eset Protect Enterprise subscription is geared toward large organisations.
