ESET Introduces Cloud Workload Protection

Security experts emphasize the critical importance of protecting cloud-based assets, given the alarming rate of data breaches within this environment. A staggering 80 percent of organizations rely heavily on the public cloud for their digital endeavors, underscoring the need for robust security measures.

Addressing Cloud Security Challenges

ESET has responded to this challenge by launching Cloud Workload Protection as part of its comprehensive ESET PROTECT Platform upgrade.
This innovative module extends security coverage from endpoints and servers to encompass cloud workloads, thereby enriching detection and response capabilities while streamlining security management across both on-premise and cloud environments.

The module offers real-time monitoring and protection for virtual machines operating in prominent cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

According to ESET, “The average cost of a public cloud data breach is $5.17 million, highlighting the need for effective cloud workload protection.”

Integration with ESET PROTECT Suite

ESET’s approach diverges from some industry peers who often provide cloud workload protection as a standalone service.
In contrast, ESET integrates this feature at no additional cost for subscribers to its ESET PROTECT suite (excluding the base-level ESET PROTECT Entry version).

The addition of AI-driven automation simplifies the process of identifying and remediating threats at various stages of an attack.

Integration of ESET AI Advisor into the ESET PROTECT console for improved usability and simplified access to this valuable resource.

These advancements underscore ESET’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge security solutions that protect against evolving threats and support the complex needs of modern enterprises.
