Powered by the ESET PROTECT Platform, ESET’s MDR services combine endpoint expertise with extended detection and response capabilities, providing fast and effective protection tailored to European markets.

(PRESS RELEASE) BRATISLAVA, 4-Sep-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, has been named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Managed Detection and Response Services in Europe, Q3 2025. This recognition highlights the strength of the ESET PROTECT Platform, which powers the company’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services by combining extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities with localized European threat intelligence.

The Forrester report noted that “ESET leverages its Central and Eastern European presence to source highly localized threat intelligence to deliver MDR services. ESET has maintained trust by focusing on endpoint maturity and regional compliance, including dedicated EU tenancy and sovereign operations. Reference customers highlighted ESET’s transparency and hands-on support, noting local language capabilities and threat advisories as positive traits. Organizations with a significant endpoint landscape looking for strong regional threat intelligence should consider ESET.”

With sovereignty, rapid response, and operational maturity as critical benchmarks in the MDR market, ESET has distinguished itself through a strong focus on EU regulatory compliance, transparency, and direct support. Its long-standing expertise in endpoint security provides a solid foundation, while the integration of XDR strengthens detection and response across complex IT environments.

Michal Jankech, Vice President of Enterprise & SMB/MSP at ESET, said:
“We are proud to be recognized as a Strong Performer in Forrester’s evaluation of MDR services in Europe. This acknowledgment reflects our commitment to delivering cybersecurity solutions that are regionally attuned, transparent, and supportive of EU compliance. The ESET PROTECT Platform continues to evolve by blending endpoint expertise with advanced detection and response, enabling our customers to remain resilient against increasingly sophisticated threats. Our mission is to keep innovating and enhancing MDR capabilities to meet the challenges of tomorrow.”

As regulatory frameworks such as NIS2 and DORA reshape Europe’s cybersecurity landscape, MDR providers are expected to deliver not only rapid detection but also compliance-driven, sovereignty-focused solutions. Combined with a shortage of skilled security professionals, European organizations increasingly depend on MDR services for resilience.

ESET believes its recognition in The Forrester Wave™ validates its focus on localized threat intelligence, compliance-first operations, and transparent, trusted support — essential attributes for organizations navigating today’s regulatory and threat environment.
