(PRESS RELEASE) BRATISLAVA, 22-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — ESET, a global cybersecurity pioneer, has introduced its newly enhanced ESET HOME Security and ESET Small Business Security solutions, designed to bring enterprise-grade protection to individual users and small business environments. This rollout broadens access to the company’s acclaimed Ransomware Remediation technology—previously exclusive to corporate clients—now enabling home and SOHO users to automatically create secure, encrypted backups and swiftly recover from ransomware incidents with minimal data loss or downtime.

In response to the rising sophistication of scams targeting users across digital platforms, ESET has upgraded its defense mechanisms to recognize and block threats that spread through text messages, emails, phone calls, QR codes, and malicious websites or downloads. Alongside these improvements, the update refines ESET’s privacy and security toolkit with upgraded versions of its Microphone Monitor, which detects unauthorized mic access, and the Website Security Inspector, capable of spotting malicious web elements invisible to traditional URL-based filters.
