After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, ESET was formally established in 1992 and later started subsidiaries in the United States (1999), Czech Republic (2001), Poland (2008), and Canada (2012). With 35 years of anti-virus and endpoint protection experience, the vendor continues its threat research with 13 R&amp;D centers worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a security company, ESET\u2019s name recognition may not be as high as other long-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/top-cybersecurity-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cybersecurity brands<\/a>. Yet with 35 years of experience, the Slovakia-based company has been around longer than most rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015, ESET made its sole acquisition of UK-based DESlock, a provider of encryption solutions for businesses. With over 1,800 employees in 24 branches around the world, ESET\u2019s security solutions serve over 110 million users and business customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read: <\/strong>Why ESET makes our list for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/cybersecurity-training\/\">Best Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Employees in 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was originally written by <\/em><em>Sam Ingalls<\/em><em> on October 9, 2021, and updated by <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/author\/chad-kime\/\"><em>Chad Kime<\/em><\/a><em> on February 15, 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"ta-campaign-widget-66d6e066d896a-popup-wrapper\" class=\"ta-campaign-widget__popup-wrapper\">\n    \n<div\n    style=\"\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-primary: #3545ed;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-text: #fff;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-hover-background: #3231b4;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-hover-text: #fff;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-toggle-background: #3231b4;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-toggle-text: #3231B4;\n    \"\n    data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/wp\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\">\n    <div\n        id=\"ta-campaign-widget-66d6e066d896a\"\n        class=\"ta-campaign-widget ta-campaign-widget--popup\"\n        data-campaign-fields='{\"properties\":{\"campaign_type\":\"popup\",\"campaign_category\":false,\"sailthru_list\":[\"cybersecurity-insider\"],\"popup_type\":\"exit_intent\",\"appearance\":{\"colors\":{\"primary_color\":\"#3545ed\",\"button\":{\"button_text_color\":\"#fff\",\"hover\":{\"button_hover_background_color\":\"#3231b4\",\"button_hover_text_color\":\"#fff\"},\"toggle\":{\"button_toggle_background_color\":\"#3231b4\",\"button_toggle_text_color\":\"#3231B4\"}}},\"custom_scss\":\"\"},\"behavior\":{\"opt_in_enabled\":true},\"language\":{\"tagline\":\"Get the Free Cybersecurity Newsletter\",\"subtagline\":\"\",\"content\":\"Strengthen your organization&#39;s IT security defenses by keeping up to date on the latest cybersecurity news, solutions, and best practices.
