ESET Unveils New Line of Enterprise Security solutions

ESET has launched a new line of enterprise security solutions designed to provide the global enterprise sector with tools for prevention and management of cyber risks on a global scale.
The company in a statement released on Wednesday said that it is raising its game with the introduction of ESET Dynamic Threat Defense, an off-premise cloud sandboxing solution providing almost instant analysis of zero-day and ransomware threats before they reach the network.
According to the release, a recently report by Forrester1, shows that buyers want an “endpoint security suite that consolidates capabilities and minimizes complexity when possible,” which they noted that these new line of cybersecurity solutions meets the demand and offers something extra.
The new line of enterprise security solutions also welcomes the brand-new ESET Security Management Center, a revamp of the renowned online console ESET Remote Administrator.
This online console provides not only complete network visibility and full security management via one single pane of glass, but also fully customizable reporting and single-click threat remediation, adding important complexity-minimizing elements to the whole suite.
Juraj Malcho, Chief Technology Officer, ESET, said “We understand global enterprise increasingly requires cybersecurity solutions that are more tailored to their specific needs, because we cooperate with a large number of them at the country level.

“Get your hands on our latest offering and you’ll see how easily manageable an enterprise security solution can be.”
The ESET Endpoint Protection solutions offer enterprises increased visibility of the alerts being sent to ESET LiveGrid® – a platform made up of 110 million sensors worldwide and verified by ESET research & development centres.
This allows customers to have the highest level of confidence when viewing data and reports within their consoles.
ESET’s new enterprise products and services are designed to be seamlessly deployed in parallel with the existing ESET enterprise offer.
Speaking during the unveiling of the products in Lagos, Mr. Olufemi Ake, ESET’s Country Manager, further explained that the West African market now have access to upgrade or subscribe to the newly launched enterprise products and services.
He said, “These powerful new tools which fit into the Gartner CARTA framework helps organisations to prevent, detect, predict and resolve all forms of known and unknown threats.
“This is based on our multi-layered technology with metadata from each of these layers processed to our ESET LiveGrid® cloud systems, providing further intelligence to our machine learning algorithms.
“These automated systems, in combination with the expertise of our researchers and engineers, enable us to prevent these threats at the network level before they hit the network.
“This solution is fully customizable, enabling customers to tailor the solution to their needs, and it provides vastly more visibility for complete prevention, detection and response against all types of cyber threats with continuous management, visibility and monitoring of all products and threats from a single pane of glass.

IFC Invests $45m to Green African Telecom Sites

Clean and reliable power for telecom networks in Ethiopia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone will be expanded following a $45 million investment by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in IPT PowerTech.

The investment targets countries where limited power supply continues to slow digital connectivity and broader economic participation, the institution stated earlier this week.
To enable this expansion, the IFC is providing a $45 million corporate financing package consisting of an A-loan of $27 million and $18 million in blended finance.
The blended portion is sourced from the Canada-IFC Blended Climate Finance Programme and the IDA20 Private Sector Window Blended Finance Facility.
The initiative marks the IFC’s first direct infrastructure engagement in Liberia in a decade and in Sierra Leone in six years.
It will help scale solar- and battery-based power systems that reduce reliance on diesel and support greener, more resilient telecom networks.
By improving the quality and stability of power to telecom towers, the initiative will strengthen mobile coverage and ensure that households, schools, health centres, and small businesses can depend on consistent digital services, said the IFC.
The funding supports the modernisation, operation, and maintenance of 2 235 telecom sites across the three nations. More than 90% of these are located in off-grid or weak-grid locations.
With new solar and battery systems powering these sites, mobile networks will experience fewer outages and improved service quality.
Optimising the energy mix is estimated to reduce power costs for operators by up to 30% in Liberia, 26% in Sierra Leone, and 52% in Ethiopia.
This transition is also expected to cut emissions by more than 10 624 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Furthermore, the partnership will promote gender inclusion by expanding opportunities for women in technical, operational, and leadership roles within the sector, says the IFC.
This agreement reflects a shared vision for a greener telecom industry and empowers the company to scale its innovative energy platforms, according to Nabil Haddad, CEO of IPT PowerTech Group.
Reliable and affordable power for telecom networks is a cornerstone of Africa’s digital transformation, said Nathalie Kouassi-Akon, IFC regional director for West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea.
Through this partnership, the institution is supporting a scalable, private sector-led solution that enables mobile operators to reach underserved and fragile communities more sustainably, added Kouassi-Akon.
The project advances the World Bank Group and African Development Bank’s Mission 300 initiative, which aims to provide electricity to 300 million Africans by 2030.
