IT security software and services provider, ESET, recently announced the launch of new cloud and XDR solutions for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). The ESET PROTECT Platform now includes ESET Inspect and ESET Inspect Cloud. Therefore, MSPs and their business customers get access to dedicated XDR security solutions which are available on-prem or via the cloud.
ESET also launched an all-new ESET Direct Endpoint Management plugin for Kaseya VSA and Native ARM Support for macOS.
“With this launch, our MSP partners have access to a sophisticated, cloud-based EDR solution with ESET PROTECT and new cutting-edge tools that support their growth, productivity and enable increased visibility into their networks,” said Ryan Grant, Vice President of Sales for ESET North America. “MSPs environments are complex – supporting a wide range of customers across a variety of industries. The ESET PROTECT Platform provides a unified ecosystem with a single pane of glass to view, manage and secure business customers from.”
ESET Inspect Cloud for MSP
ESET Inspect Cloud, which was previously released for the enterprise market, is a sophisticated cloud-based tool that enables MSPs to evolve the ESET PROTECT Platform into an XDR solution for enterprise-grade security and risk management capabilities. The capabilities include advanced threat hunting, incident response, full network visibility, cloud-based threat defense, and more. ESET Inspect and ESET Inspect Cloud can be accessed through ESET’s MSP Administrator platform currently used by partners.
EDM Kaseya VSA Management
ESET released an all-new ESET Direct Endpoint Management plugin for MSPs by using the Kaseya VSA Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. ESET Direct Endpoint Management plugin for Kaseya VSA provides MSPs with a wide range of functionality, spanning from fast installation and deployment to policy management. It also allows for a very high level of automation. Any additional cloud or on-premise console need not be installed as the plugin works from Kaseya VSA and communicates directly with endpoints.
Flexible billing
The new offering will enable current and prospective MSP customers to access a simplified and easy-to-use digital security platform, with MSP-optimized solutions. It will minimize their daily operations and allow MSPs to provide top-rated security to strengthen customers’ trust. ESET has a flexible, self-service, zero-commitment billing model allowing MSP partners to ‘pay as they go’ monthly and for the subscriptions they need.
ARM Advancements
ESET has added Native ARM Support for macOS to its EDR and XDR solutions in order to stay competitive in the market, as Mac adoption continues to grow among SMBs and enterprises. This follows ESET’s earlier introduction of Native ARM Support for Windows this year.
“When businesses need hardened, next-generation cybersecurity solutions, ESET’s approach to multilayered security plus real-time intelligence sets us apart,” said Grant. “We have hundreds of experts and researchers in 13 R&D centers around the world who are analyzing never-before-seen threats, tracking sophisticated APT group activity and creating resources for our partner community that keep them up to date on the latest cybersecurity concerns. This intelligence is wrapped into our advanced EDR and XDR solutions to ensure next-generation prevention, detection and response.”
