ESET Small Business Security is a complete security solution that combines maximum protection with a minimal system footprint, using artificial intelligence to prevent infiltration by viruses, spyware, trojans, worms, adware, rootkits, and other threats without hindering system performance. Critically for business environments, Safe Server provides multilayered defence for data on all general and network file storage servers running on Windows Server — shielding against ransomware, botnets, and more. The number of server seats always matches the number of purchased device licences, making capacity planning straightforward.

Ransomware Remediation & Data Encryption

Unlike the consumer tiers, ESET Small Business Security includes active ransomware recovery alongside prevention. Ransomware Remediation combats threats and safeguards files with built-in backup, recovery tools, and remediation — ensuring that even a successful attack doesn’t result in permanent data loss or a ransom payment. Secure Data provides powerful encryption for files and removable media, preventing data theft in the event of a lost laptop or USB drive, while allowing sensitive information to be shared securely. This combination directly supports POPIA compliance obligations around data confidentiality and breach response.

Unlimited VPN & Secure Remote Work

Unlimited VPN covers connections across 70+ countries with unlimited bandwidth, keeping remote workers and travelling staff secure and anonymous on public and office networks alike. The advanced firewall and Network Inspector add further layers of protection against unauthorised access, while the secured browser mode protects online banking and business transactions from keylogging and credential theft.

ESET LiveGuard & AI-Powered Threat Detection

ESET LiveGuard defends against new and never-before-seen threats, while the broader endpoint security stack prevents, detects, and resolves security incidents — providing advanced defence against theft, spam, scams, and more. AI-powered security blocks 99.6% of threats across any operating system, keeping computers, mobiles, and servers safe — all without the performance overhead that typically comes with enterprise-grade tooling.

Simple Management via ESET HOME

The solution protects both work and personal devices under the same subscription, reducing the administrative overhead of managing separate licences. Everything is centralised in the ESET HOME portal, where devices can be added, monitored, and managed without requiring dedicated IT staff or specialist configuration.

ESET Home Security Ultimate carries all the threat detection capabilities of the lower tiers and raises the stakes with active ransomware recovery. While the Ransomware Shield detects and blocks threats, Ransomware Remediation — exclusive to the Ultimate plan — automatically backs up and restores files that come under attack. This moves protection beyond detection into genuine recovery, making it far more resilient for users storing critical data. ESET LiveGuard continues to provide cloud-based advanced machine learning analysis against never-before-seen threats.

Identity Protection & Dark Web Monitoring

The defining addition in the Ultimate tier is Identity Protection. This feature provides comprehensive credit protection including instant credit inquiry alerts, credit score tracking and simulation, and continuous credit report monitoring. It also scans the dark web for data breaches and includes vital recovery and reimbursement services. For individuals and business owners whose personal identity is tied to their professional reputation, this is a meaningful safeguard against the growing threat of identity fraud.

Unlimited VPN Across More Devices

The Ultimate plan includes unlimited VPN access on up to 10 devices, with connections to secure servers across 70+ countries — keeping your IP address anonymous and preventing data theft and tracking. Subscriptions covering more than 10 devices extend VPN coverage to up to 25 devices. A VPN for Router option also encrypts all internet traffic at the network level, protecting every device on the network without needing to install apps on each one individually.

Data Encryption, Privacy & Lightweight Performance

Military-grade encryption keeps files and USB drives safe, elevated folder security ensures only trusted applications can modify protected directories, and enhanced browser privacy protection lets you manage website permissions and strip metadata from images before uploading. Despite the comprehensive feature set, ESET HOME Security Ultimate runs silently in the background, keeping devices fast, efficient, and uninterrupted — with Gamer Mode available to defer alerts and background tasks during resource-intensive activity.

ESET Home Security Premium proactively protects against ever-evolving threats using powerful encryption and award-winning multilayered technology, including a secured browser mode that offers automatic protection when banking online and accessing web-based crypto wallets. ESET LiveGuard provides elevated threat protection using advanced machine learning to defend against evolving and never-before-seen threats. Independent testing backs this up — in AV-Test’s March/April 2025 evaluations, ESET’s engine achieved a 100% detection rate across both zero-day malware samples and widespread prevalent malware.

Data Encryption & Password Management

Sensitive data can be protected with military-grade encryption, safeguarding files and USB drives from unauthorised access while allowing secure sharing. The built-in Password Manager lets you easily create, store, and organise encrypted passwords and use them to automatically log in across your devices — no third-party app required.

Enhanced Privacy & VPN

Elevated file and folder security allows only trusted applications to modify your folders, while enhanced browser and privacy protection lets you manage website notifications and permissions, and remove metadata from images uploaded to your browser — details like capture time and location. The included VPN lets you connect safely via secure servers across 40 countries, with unlimited bandwidth available on up to 3 devices (or up to 5 devices on subscriptions for more than 10 devices).

Lightweight, Manageable & Gamer-Friendly

ESET Home Security Premium has minimal impact on system resources — independent benchmarks showed virtually no performance reduction during web browsing, video calling, gaming, and document editing. Gamer Mode postpones alerts and notifications, disables pop-ups, and halts scheduler activity to save resources, while protection continues running in the background without requiring interaction. Everything is centrally managed through the ESET HOME portal and mobile app.
