ESET File Security now available for Microsoft Azure

Mobilk - ESET®, a global pioneer in IT security for more than two decades, today announced that its next-generation business product ESET File Security will become part of the security offering as a VM extension in Microsoft Azure. Business customers can now benefit from this proven and trusted IT security solution on Microsoft’s cloud computing platform.

In addition to the existing IT security capabilities built into Azure, Microsoft provides a rich array of supplementary antimalware solutions to protect virtual servers, allowing users to benefit from IT security vendors they already know and trust. “ESET File Security provides superior protection for virtual file servers. Our proven ESET NOD32® scanning engine, high detection speed, smooth performance and stability make the solution ideal for virtual environments,” says Peter Vrana, Senior Product Manager at ESET.

Azure is Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, a growing collection of integrated services- analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage, and web- for moving faster, achieving more, and saving money. “ESET provides a great security solution for our customers and is a natural fit to work with Azure,” said Nicole Herskowitz, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Microsoft Azure. "We are excited to have ESET File Security available in the Azure marketplace.”
