ESET Enterprise Inspector

Antimalware products are, of course, getting smarter and more powerful all the time. That’s the good news. The bad news is, so is the malware. Honestly, we are more vulnerable to malware than ever before. That means you need protection that is up-to-par with current technology. And this has led to the emergence of a new category of security; Endpoint Protection, Detection & Response. Of course, ESET is no newcomer to the field of antivirus and EDR. And with ESET Enterprise Inspector, ESET has made it clear they’re not going anywhere soon.

Endpoint Detection & Response is a sophisticated tool for identification of anomalous behavior and breaches, risk assessment, incident response, investigations and remediation.

What does ESET Enterprise Inspector do?

EEI provides outstanding visibility and synchronized remediation with the ESET Endpoint Protection suites. It’s also available as part of ESET’s Managed Detection & Response service.

EEI collects data in real-time on endpoint devices. The data is matched against a set of rules to detect suspicious activities automatically. Then the gathered data is processed, and the information is prioritized and correlated in a searchable form. This data allows a security professional to search for unusual and suspicious activities more easily. It also enables efficient and accurate incident response, management and reporting.

ESET has been sort of a cutting-edge anti-malware company for years. Their products incorporate the latest approaches to discovering and preventing malware. This includes advanced ML detection models, exploit prevention, memory analysis, and anti-stealth technologies that can eliminate hard-to-discover UEFI and MFT rootkits.

What sets ESET Enterprise Inspector apart

ESET Enterprise Inspector includes the following three components. The first is the EEI Agent. This is installed on endpoints that are monitored by the EEI. It then collects data for the EEI, removes malicious components and blocks execution of these components.

Second, the EEI Server aggregates and stores the collected data. Continually. And, it displays it in the EEI Web Console.

Third is the EEI Web Console. This is the user interface for ESET Enterprise Inspector built as an HTML5 web application.

New detection capabilities

ESET Enterprise Inspector features improved detection capability for advanced code injection methods. It can also invalidate trust attributes of compromised processes. In addition, it provides greater visibility into file reading operations for specific scenarios (e.g. reading of passwords), as well as greater visibility into WMI Query behavior.

What does this mean in layman’s terms? EEI is ideal for threat hunting. It proactively prevents future attacks, including insidious APTs. ESET Enterprise Inspector analyzes vast amounts of data in real-time. This reduces response time, remediates issues and improves overall security. It also helps implement the Zero Trust Framework for strict security.

And, it’s greatly increased visibility translates in to early detection of clandestine insider threats, phishing or other attacks commonly used against enterprises. Paired with the ESET Endpoint Protection Platform, ESET Enterprise Inspector is a complete prevention, detection and remediation solution.
