ESET has announced its co-operation with Elementra to release version 1.1 of their product Endpoint Protection, providing a raft of new features and enhancements.

The Endpoint Protection software is an integration module that allows IT providers to manage their ESET Endpoint Security from within Kaseya. It provides a central tool to view the ESET deployments across the customer’s client networks, gain status updates and alerts, and perform important administrative tasks to ensure maximum security.

"The size and complexity of the development of version 1.1 required a significantly deeper integration with both Kaseya and ESET security products. The assistance provided by both of these business partners meant we could focus on the core functionality while tapping into expertise where and when it was needed, resulting in a more reliable and integrated product for our customers" says VP engineering, Duanne O’Brien.

The response from the market has been extremely positive with many customers pleased to finally have integration between two essential software products – ESET and Kaseya.

Major features of the new release include easier installation, more comprehensive client and server information, the introduction of tasks, logs and alerts, and more configurable system settings.

"With dashboards, recognisable icons, colour-coded text, and configurable alerts it’s much easier to see where problems lie, providing a more proactive approach. All good stuff for MSPs and their customers," added O’Brien.

Jim Alves, EVP OEM & strategic initiatives, Kaseya, said: "The combination of the Kaseya IT service management framework and the Elementra ESET solution represents an additional endpoint security opportunity for IT professionals.

"The Elementra ESET plug-in for Kaseya is another example of the growing demand for seamless centralised service management and further adds to the Kaseya ecosystem."
