What it is

ESET Small Business Security is a paid security suite for small offices covering business and personal devices. The Small Office plan is intended for non-IT specialists and supports 5–25 devices across Windows, Windows Server, macOS, Android and iOS. Its multilayered protection addresses malware including viruses, trojans, spyware and phishing, while ransomware protection can back up and recover at-risk files. The suite also protects AI chats and interactions, includes a password manager, and encrypts company and customer data, sensitive information and USB devices. Secure banking and browsing offers a secured browser mode and a Windows extension with safe search, keylogger protection and safeguards against unauthorized screen capture. The plan includes unlimited VPN traffic and router VPN for devices supporting OpenVPN or WireGuard clients. Safe Server protects Windows Server file storage, with server seats matching purchased device seats. Outlook email protection covers sent, read and received messages and includes antispam. ESET HOME supports security-status monitoring, coworker sharing and mobile-app alerts. The plan includes free local support and has a 30-day trial; its first-term price varies by device count and is selected through the store.
