ESET has been recognized as a Top Player for the second year in a row in Radicati’s 2021 Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Protection Market Quadrant. The report evaluates 12 leading security vendors in the market, assessing their functionality and strategic vision, with ESET one of only six vendors to be awarded Top Player status.
The Radicati Market Quadrant is a metric used to paint a picture of a specific technology market, with this edition covering APT Protection, defined as “a set of integrated solutions for the detection, prevention and possible remediation of zero-day threats and persistent malicious attacks.”

The solutions, and EEI in particular, were praised for their strong endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities, including monitoring of events such as process and script execution, and extensive remediation and response capabilities. The report further highlighted ESET solutions for ease of deployment and ease of use, as well as offering multi-language support.
