At the start of 2022, ESET France and ITrust have entered into a strategic partnership in the European cybersecurity market, enabling them to offer organizations and businesses a comprehensive technological solution for cybersecurity monitoring.
The partnership between ESET France—represented by Athena Global Services in the French market—and ITrust aims to provide a concrete response to the threats and challenges currently emerging in the cybersecurity market, particularly at the European level. The rise in malicious activity, the complexity of attacks, the technical sophistication and proliferation of both tools and actors, and the need to maintain a high level of expertise—all these factors now compel organizations to develop a comprehensive approach to overseeing their cybersecurity defenses.
The partnership agreement between ITrust and ESET France will enable more effective and proactive responses to cyber threats, particularly thanks to the complementary nature of the advanced technologies they bring to the table.
This partnership enables ITrust to deliver a comprehensive platform for centralizing events that integrates antivirus, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions, utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI/UEBA)…
Combining the strengths of two leading companies that share a strong commitment to the French market, the solutions resulting from the ITrust/ESET France partnership will provide more efficient and tailored responses to the needs of organizations of all sizes, whether private or public. In particular, the joint offering will provide high-tech solutions at affordable prices, enabling 360° cybersecurity monitoring.
These solutions will make it easier to classify incidents as attacks, enable organizations to detect malicious activity as early as possible, and address it as quickly as possible—all without disrupting the organization’s operations. They will thus enhance the expected level of cybersecurity service, particularly thanks to the teams at ITrust and ESET France, who receive regular training to deal with new and increasingly sophisticated attacks.
“ In the face of cyber threats, simply piling on solutions is no longer viable: it’s essential to manage them more effectively. To that end, depending on a company’s size, it makes more sense to turn to seasoned professionals than to try to fill this gap on one’s own by hiring staff and using in-house tools. This partnership between ESET and ITrust brings together the best of European solutions to ensure security and sovereignty. ”
Julien JEAN, President of ESET France
“The ESET/ITrust technology and business alliance—independent and European—will provide customers with significantly superior detection and protection capabilities. This will enable them to benefit from an integrated SOC/XDR/MDR platform equipped with the best technologies: Vulnerability Scanner, SIEM (Correlation, CTI, UEBA), SOAR, and EDR/XDR. In this way, we are bringing together the best of European solutions.”
Jean-Nicolas Piotrowski, President of ITrust
