Industry Practitioners and Expert Insights Recognize ESET’s Decades of Leadership, AI-Native Innovation, and Global Impact
ESET has been officially named a finalist for Best Security Company in the 2026 Cybersecurity Community Awards. Hosted by Expert Insights, this nomination is a testament to ESET’s significant influence and measurable impact on the global threat landscape.
Since its founding in 1992, ESET has remained an engineer-led organization. Today, that technical DNA powers a global network of threat hunters and researchers who track the world’s most sophisticated Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups.
This deep-tier intelligence is the engine behind ESET’s AI-native portfolio, which includes:
- XDR (Extended Detection & Response): Holistic visibility across the enterprise.
- MDR (Managed Detection & Response): 24/7 expert-led threat oversight.
- Prevention-First Philosophy: Multi-layered defense-in-depth to stop breaches before they execute.
“A single layer of defense is not enough in today’s constantly evolving threat landscape. This recognition reflects the trust our customers and partners place in us to deliver effective, intelligence-driven security.” — Ryan Grant, Country Manager, ESET.
Unlike many industry accolades, the Cybersecurity Community Awards are strictly non-pay-to-play. Finalists are selected based on:
- Direct Nominations: From IT professionals and practitioners worldwide.
- Independent Research: Conducted by Expert Insights’ analysis platform.
- Proven Impact: Protecting Fortune 500s, governments, and SMBs across 178 countries.
