Frequently Asked Questions
What is ESET PROTECT Platform?
ESET PROTECT Platform is an integrated cybersecurity ecosystem that brings all of ESET's business security products under a single management framework. Rather than piecing together separate point solutions, it lets you deploy endpoint protection, server security, email security, encryption, MFA and detection-and-response capabilities from one cloud or on-premises console. Think of it as the architecture layer that all ESET business products sit within.
What tiers does the platform offer?
The platform is available across five named tiers — Advanced, Mail Plus, Complete, Enterprise and Elite — each building on the previous with additional capabilities. Advanced covers core endpoint and server protection with cloud sandboxing. Mail Plus adds dedicated mail security. Complete extends that with cloud application protection. Enterprise adds extended detection and response tools. Elite rounds out the stack with fully managed detection and response and premium support. Standalone MDR add-ons are also available if you need managed services without the full Elite licence.
Is the ESET PROTECT console a separate cost?
No — the ESET PROTECT management console is included with every tier at no additional licence cost. Whether you run the cloud-hosted version or deploy ESET PROTECT Server on your own infrastructure, the console is bundled with your product subscription. If you choose an on-premises deployment, you will need to factor in your own server hardware or cloud hosting costs for the management server itself.
Cloud or on-premises deployment — which should I choose?
For most Australian businesses, the cloud-hosted console is the simplest and fastest path: no server to maintain, automatic updates, and access from anywhere. On-premises deployment suits organisations with strict data residency or network isolation requirements, or those in regulated industries where management traffic must remain within their own environment. Both options deliver the same protection capabilities — the choice is purely about where the management console runs. If you are unsure, reach out and we can help assess which model fits your infrastructure and compliance needs.
