What is ESET’s end point security?

Endpoint security is the protection of your endpoints against cyber attacks. This means securing your laptops, desktops, smartphones and other endpoints specifically, as they are vulnerable access points for viruses, malware and other cyberthreats.

Endpoint security has a number of different forms, including antivirus software and firewalls. ESET’s endpoint protection uses a multilayered approach to securing endpoints like mobile devices and laptops.


Why have we decided to start offering it for our customers?

We are seeing an increase in ransomware attacks in recent months and we are advising customers to change their virus protection from Windows Defender to something else.

Hackers are using PowerShell scripts to disable Windows Defender which then allows them to download ransomware tools and execute attacks on servers. Unfortunately this quite easy to do and it’s a very effective trick for hackers to get control of a server. Once the hacker does this they are able to encrypt all the data on the server and demand a payment by Bitcoin.

We are recommending ESET Endpoint Protection to all our customers (Web World are an official partner), the cost of this software is €100+VAT per year per server.
