The new ESET MDR service provides threat monitoring

ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced the launch of two Managed Detection and Response (MDR) subscription tiers: ESET PROTECT MDR for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and ESET PROTECT MDR Ultimate for enterprises in India.

Trivandrum — In the wake of recent escalations between India and Pakistan, India’s critical digital infrastructure faced a coordinated and massive cyber onslaught last week — and emerged unscathed.

In a swift and seamless defense operation, Prophaze Technologies — a leading AI-based cybersecurity platform proudly Made in India — successfully neutralized a series of large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks targeting high-value national entities.

At its core, ESET’s MDR service takes a prevention-first approach and is backed by world-renowned cybersecurity experts to deliver one of the fastest detection and response times in the industry - within 6 minutes on average, compared to 200+ days for organisations without MDR or SOC teams. The result is fast, precise threat detection and incident response that stops emerging attacks before they can disrupt business operations.

ESET launches new 24/7 SMB-focused MDR service.

The new ESET MDR service provides threat monitoring, detection and hunting, incident response, and robust detection and response capabilities.

Available in select countries as an add-on to ESET PROTECT Enterprise and ESET PROTECT Elite.

What is Extended Detection and Response (XDR)?

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a cybersecurity solution that unifies threat detection and response across endpoints, networks, email, cloud, and more. Unlike siloed tools, XDR collects and correlates data from multiple sources into a single platform. This integration provides better visibility, faster threat detection, and more efficient response to multi-vector attacks. XDR often includes automation and AI to reduce manual work and improve accuracy.

Accelerating Innovation

Innovation has always been a hallmark of the IT industry. Pushing the envelope on the performance and capabilities of IT products: software, PCs, hardware, networks and more, is what it’s all about. And it’s what fuels new opportunities for the channel.

Industry innovation has reached a new high in the last several years with the advent of AI technology, leading to a surge in development of new AI-based applications and agentic AI software and the addition of AI capabilities to existing IT products and systems including PCs, ERP and CRM applications, data management software and cybersecurity tools.

Security vendor ESET has introduced two new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) subscription tiers aimed at helping Australian businesses combat growing cyber threats amid a significant industry talent gap.

The global cybersecurity company unveiled its ESET PROTECT MDR for small and medium businesses.

Meanwhile, the ESET PROTECT MDR Ultimate tier for enterprise customers offers 24/7 protection powered by artificial intelligence and human expertise.
