Antivirus

ESET industry leading technology

Continually developing leading edge, balanced ESET Prevention, Detection, and Response (EPDR)

ESET uses multilayered technologies that go far beyond the capabilities of basic antivirus. The figure below shows various core ESET technologies and an approximation of when and how they can detect and/or block a threat during its lifecycle in the system.

UEFI Scanner

ESET was the first endpoint security provider to add a dedicated layer into its solution that protects the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). ESET UEFI Scanner checks and enforces the security of the pre-boot environment that is compliant with the UEFI specification. It is designed to detect malicious components in the firmware and report them to the user.

DNA Detections

Detection types range from very specific hashes to ESET DNA Detections, which are complex definitions of malicious behavior and malware characteristics.

While malicious code can be easily modified or obfuscated by attackers, the behavior of objects cannot be changed so easily and ESET DNA Detections are designed to take advantage of this principle.
