(PRESS RELEASE) BRATISLAVA , 11-Oct-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — ESET has introduced significant updates to its Vulnerability and Patch Management (V&PM) module, broadening its functionality and system coverage to better protect organizations from cybersecurity threats. These enhancements now include support for Linux (both desktop and server) and macOS systems, making the solution more comprehensive across various operating environments. This expansion ensures that businesses using a wide array of platforms can proactively manage vulnerabilities and maintain stronger cybersecurity defenses.

As part of the update, ESET has integrated a new dashboard within the ESET PROTECT platform. This revamped interface provides greater transparency and visibility into an organization’s vulnerability and patch status, allowing security administrators to easily monitor and manage risks. The dashboard offers both automated, always-on vulnerability scanning and manual, on-demand scanning for more granular control, ensuring that security teams can respond to potential threats without disrupting critical business workflows.

The updates also extend V&PM’s availability to a wider range of ESET PROTECT solutions. Customers can now purchase it as an add-on to their ESET PROTECT Entry and ESET PROTECT Advanced subscriptions, in addition to its existing integration within ESET PROTECT Complete, Elite, and MDR packages. This flexibility allows organizations of all sizes to benefit from ESET’s advanced patch management capabilities, helping them minimize their attack surface and improve compliance with regulatory requirements, such as the EU’s NIS2 directive.

ESET Vice President for Enterprise & SMB/MSP, Michal Jankech, emphasized the company’s commitment to making cybersecurity both effective and user-friendly. “Top-level security should be efficient and straightforward, not complicated. With this update to our V&PM module, we’ve prioritized ease of use, speed, and proactive prevention to help businesses maintain robust security without adding unnecessary complexity.”

The latest update will be rolled out automatically at no additional cost to existing customers.
