ESET Server Security

ESET Server Security provides multi-layered protection specifically optimised for file servers running Windows Server and Linux. Servers are high-value targets for attackers because they store critical business data and often serve as staging points for lateral movement within a network. ESET Server Security protects these critical assets with minimal performance overhead, ensuring server workloads run at full speed while remaining protected.

The solution includes real-time file system protection that scans files as they are accessed, modified, or created — particularly important for file servers where hundreds of users access shared folders simultaneously. An exploit blocker monitors server applications for exploitation attempts, while the advanced memory scanner detects malware that operates entirely in RAM without writing to disk. Oneclick enforcement provides instant hardening of server security settings.

For virtualised environments, ESET Server Security integrates with VMware, Hyper-V, and Citrix hypervisors, providing agentless scanning that offloads antimalware processing from individual VMs to a shared scanning appliance. This dramatically reduces resource consumption in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and virtual server deployments.

Xcobean deploys ESET Server Security for organisations protecting Windows file servers, Exchange servers, SharePoint servers, and Linux application servers. Our implementation includes performance-optimised scanning schedules, exclusion configuration for server applications, and integration with ESET PROTECT for centralised management.
