Leading Cybersecurity in the AI Era

Shaping the future of AI-powered cybersecurity

ESET is advancing cybersecurity for the AI era. With a €40 million self‑funded investment, ESET is accelerating its AI strategy and innovation across three main pillars, combining autonomous intelligence with decades of security expertise to deliver a new generation of trusted protection, built in Europe and trusted worldwide.

Independent, security-first foundational AI models

ESET is building its own security-first AI foundational models designed specifically for cybersecurity. ESET’s own technologies like ESET LiveGuard and ESET LiveCortex already rely on highly specialized AI models to accelerate and improve threat analysis, enabling faster and more efficient protection. We are also exploring entirely new AI concepts for cybersecurity, including the application of World Models.

Layered security for 
the AI Stack

AI is becoming part of every workflow, expanding the attack surface for organizations of all sizes. ESET is investing in a complete AI-native security architecture designed to provide the guardrails for secure AI adoption - from AI-driven threats and supply-chain risks to Shadow AI and agent-based interactions. Our approach aims to secure AI across networks, browsers, and applications, ensuring resilience in an increasingly AI-powered world.

Building the new generation AI SOC

The speed, scale, and complexity of events generated by systems such as XDRs are growing beyond what traditional approaches can handle. Replacing analysts with AI agents will not be sufficient. But the new generation of AI SOC technology will combine breakthrough AI technologies and expert oversight. Built for all. From smaller organizations to large enterprises. Effortless supervised cybersecurity for everyone.
