ESET Launches Fast Cloud Threat Scanner on Amazon Web Services
Seattle, Monday, 24 August 2026.
Cybersecurity provider ESET has launched its high-speed threat scanning tool on Amazon Web Services, allowing enterprise clients to detect malware in milliseconds directly within cloud applications.
Strategic Cloud Integration and Procurement
The strategic integration allows enterprise cloud clients and IT decision-makers to seamlessly deploy advanced threat-detection infrastructure within their cloud environments while consolidating procurement and billing through AWS (NASDAQ: AMZN) [1]. This expansion highlights the growing enterprise demand for frictionless, cloud-native security integrations amidst escalating global cybersecurity risks [1]. Andrea Doyle, Head of Corporate Solutions NORAM, stated that organizations expect security solutions they can evaluate quickly, purchase seamlessly, and deploy without delay [1]. By making ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solutions available in AWS Marketplace, the company is simplifying procurement while enabling organizations to integrate high-performance threat scanning into their cloud applications to help protect critical data flows [1].
Technical Capabilities and Trial Availability
The ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solutions engine utilizes static scanning and behavioral analysis to detect malware and zero-day threats in milliseconds [1]. This solution is intended for integration into apps, storage platforms, and upload portals without requiring full endpoint security deployment [1]. To facilitate adoption, ESET is offering a one-month free trial of the scanning solution available via AWS Marketplace [1][2]. The security solution relies on ESET’s existing research, threat intelligence, and global partner network, supported by the company’s dedicated R&D centers [1].
