Click to expand

ESET Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provides 24/7 threat monitoring, detection, and incident response by combining AI and human expertise to protect against cyber threats, including breaches and ransomware. It identifies malicious activity, groups it into incidents, and, when attacks are confirmed, stops escalation and blocks unauthorized access. The service offers immediate visibility into incidents, countermeasures, and monitored activity, and sends critical, weekly, and monthly reports.

When the prerequisites are met, ESET MDR is automatically activated on the client devices with the ESET Inspect Connector deployed. You can verify that ESET MDR is activated in ESET PROTECT.
