ESET, a global cybersecurity leader, is expanding its B2B portfolio with a new AI Security module for the ESET PROTECT Platform. Designed to help organizations secure the AI ecosystem, the module enables businesses to adopt AI with greater confidence through:

• AI Agent Security: A dedicated security layer that protects organizations using autonomous AI agents from malicious AI components, extending defenses into the AI agent ecosystem while supporting productivity without compromising security.
• AI Behavioral Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of autonomous AI agent activity to detect and flag suspicious behavior, strengthen oversight, reduce risk, and help prevent potential security incidents.

AI is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape. As employees adopt AI tools, developers use coding assistants, and organizations integrate AI agents and AI-driven workflows, a new attack surface is emerging. ESET is already seeing this shift firsthand. The latest ESET Enterprise Cybersecurity Report 2026 (Singapore) found that 79% of organizations in Singapore experienced at least one AI-related cyber threat in the past 12 months. ESET researchers have also uncovered AI-enabled threats such as PromptLock and PromptSpy, while detecting thousands of malicious agentic AI skills. As AI accelerates innovation, it is also accelerating risk—creating a need for a new approach to cyber resilience.

“AI is transforming the way businesses operate, innovate and grow, but it is also reshaping the cybersecurity landscape at an extraordinary pace. Across APAC, organizations are increasingly looking for security that can keep pace with this change while giving them the confidence to embrace new technologies. For us, cybersecurity is not only about responding to threats; it is about enabling progress securely. ESET’s updated B2B portfolio, supported by an additional €40 million investment in AI in 2026, reflects our commitment to helping organizations strengthen their resilience, navigate emerging AI-driven risks and ensure that security remains a foundation for innovation,” said Parvinder Walia, President of the APAC Region, ESET.

ESET is also strengthening its core AI detection technologies, decades in development, with security-first AI foundations purpose-built for cybersecurity. These include ESET LiveCortex, a cross-perimeter correlation and response engine integrated into the ESET PROTECT Platform. ESET AI Advisor is also being renamed ESET LiveAI, reflecting its role in ESET’s core product portfolio and its expanded ability to provide live incident remediation context.
