Key Capabilities
ESET Threat Intelligence delivers curated, real-world intelligence that help businesses, government agencies, critical infrastructure entities and channel companies to anticipateand defend against modern cyberattacks. These offerings are enhanced by ESET AIAdvisor, which enables security analysts and decision makers to rapidlyinterpret incidents and act upon threats.

Detailed below, ESET offers 2 tiers of eCrime Reports, 3 tiers of APT Reports, and 18 proprietary intelligence feeds and two sub-feeds, including Android threats, IoCs, Botnets, Phishing URLs, and more.
APT Reports
ESET offers Premium APT reports with in-depth analysis of global APTs, including state-aligned Russian, Chinese, Iranian and North Korean groups. Supported by global threat hunters, these reports expose espionage activities, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and zero days, with added geopolitical context to better understand intent and impact. With R&D centers spanning Europe, Asia, and North America, ESET's analysts provide around-the-clock coverage, leveraging diverse time zones and locations to address the evolving threat landscape.
New: eCrime Reports
In 2026, ESET expanded its offering with eCrime Reports, which provide affiliate-level visibility, full attack-chain timelines, tooling analysis, and region-specific telemetry. Each report includes practical defense recommendations, configuration guidance, and hunting rules tied directly to observed attacks. As financially motivated attacks continue to grow in scale, speed, and complexity, organizations are increasingly overwhelmed by ransomware and infostealers, driving demand for intelligence that goes beyond raw data and provides clear, actionable insight. These capabilities help security teams anticipate emerging threats, validate defenses and prioritize mitigation steps more effectively.
Proprietary Intelligence Feeds
ESET also delivers 15 proprietary intelligence feeds and 2 sub-feeds covering ransomware, botnets, malicious email attachments, cryptoscams, phishing URLs, smishing, and more. These feeds are carefully deduplicated and delivered in near real time, enabling analysts to act immediately and identify emerging business risks and previously unknown threats.
How we are different
ESET is globally recognized for our worldwide research organization. Research, innovation, and expertise are at the heart of the development of technologies and products that ESET brings to its customers. In our 11 research and development centers, hundreds of cybersecurity experts work to protect more than one billion users worldwide. Every single day, ESET technology processes 2.5 billion URLs, 60 million metadata records, and receives 750,000 suspicious samples. This translates into top-class threat awareness research, freely accessible on our award-winning WeLiveSecurity blog and embedded into all ESET products and services.
ESET's threat intelligence offerings stand out by delivering clean, actionable intelligence that enhances existing security investments while prioritizing quality over quantity. Rather than forcing organizations to sift through large, noncurated datasets, ESET validates raw telemetry into actionable data within minutes, ensuring that customers can quickly identify and prioritize the most relevant threats. This approach reduces operational burden and allows security teams to create a more proactive cybersecurity posture.
ESET combines expert human intelligence with AI-driven enrichment to provide deep visibility into both widely targeted regions and smaller or niche threat actors that other vendors often overlook. This global perspective, paired with real-time enriched IoC feeds and curated reporting, delivers a unique combination of speed, depth, and exclusivity.
ESET's innovation is further demonstrated through capabilities such as ESET AI Advisor, which brings SOC-level insights, IoC generation, and proactive threat analysis into an interactive and easy-to-use format. The platform is designed for flexibility and integration, with ESET Connect enabling seamless interoperability with leading security tools such as Microsoft Sentinel and IBM QRadar.
Finally, ESET's strong customer focus and proven value reinforce its differentiation. With a 100 percent customer retention rate and growing adoption across North America and global markets, organizations rely on ESET for high-quality intelligence, rigorous research methodologies, and insights that directly inform strategic security decisions and strengthen overall cybersecurity posture.
