Solution Overview

ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solution is a set of anti-malware scanning solutions developed by ESET spol. s r.o., designed to detect Malware, Spam, and Phishing detection in email files. It leverages two complementary scanning methods – static scanning (fast scanning) and dynamic scanning – each optimized for different threat scenarios.

By default, ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solution is configured to perform static scanning using ESET PRIVATE Static Scanning Engine, which is ideal for detecting known threats with high speed and efficiency. It analyzes file metadata and source code using a combination of malware signatures detection, advanced heuristics and machine learning models. Multiple detection layers allow rapid and reliable identification of malware based on recognizable patterns and behaviors. As a result, files scanned statically are classified as clean or malicious, with a corresponding threat name and category if malware is detected.

For deeper inspection of unknown or never-before-seen threats, ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solution can be extended with ESET PRIVATE Dynamic Scanning Engine (available as an optional component). ESET PRIVATE Dynamic Scanning Engine evaluates file reputation using ESET’s cloud-based reputation system and executes the file in a secure sandbox to observe its behavior in real-time. This behavioral approach allows detection of complex, evasive, or obfuscated threats that may evade static methods, and it generates a comprehensive behavioral report for each analyzed file. In specific cases, files may also be sent to ESET’s Virus Lab for further manual analysis.

For the most advanced threat scenarios, combining static and dynamic scanning ensures multilayered protection—delivering the speed of signature-based detection alongside the deep behavioral insight of dynamic scanning.

Key benefits

•High detection accuracy with minimal false positives, powered by ESET’s award-winning detection technologies and multi-layered scanning approach.

•Fast and efficient scanning of known threats using static analysis by default, supported by ESET’s continuously updated malware signature database and intelligent file inspection.

•The solution does not store scanned files or any customer-specific sensitive data, ensuring full data privacy and compliance.

•Scalable high-performance scanning, capable of processing large files and high volumes through parallelization and containerized deployment—adaptable to diverse IT environments.

•Cloud-native by design, with seamless integration into major cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud), while remaining platform-agnostic for maximum flexibility.

•High degree of customization, allowing organizations to adapt the scanning solution to their unique operation needs, security policies, compliance standards or workflow.

•Ideal for IoT protection with a lightweight, efficient agent that’s easy to deploy and ideal for edge devices and low-resource environments.

•Offers robust protection against advanced or elusive threats by analyzing the behavior of suspicious or unknown files in a secure, cloud-based sandbox environment.

•Available for both cloud and on-premise deployments, making it a versatile solution for organizations with hybrid or regulated infrastructure needs.

ESET PRIVATE Scanning Solution combines a powerful feature set with a flexible, scalable architecture – making it an ideal security solution for organizations of all sizes. Whether deployed in cloud-native, hybrid, or on-premises environments, it delivers reliable malware protection that adapts to diverse infrastructure needs. Its versatility ensures seamless integration into existing workflows, while its robust design supports everything from high-throughput enterprise use cases to lightweight IoT deployments.

Typical Use Cases:
