ESET 2025/2026 Product Launch
As the cybersecurity landscape continues to accelerate in complexity and scale, ESET remains at the forefront—delivering protection that’s powerful, efficient, and seamlessly integrated.
Building on our legacy of performance and trust, ESET continues to evolve its solutions to meet the demands of the modern digital world. In 2023, ESET was recognised as Best in Class by AV-Comparatives for achieving the lowest impact on system performance among leading competitors—a testament to our commitment to pairing lightweight performance with world-class protection.
For 2025, 2026, and beyond, ESET is introducing a new generation of security offerings that bring together advanced protection, simplicity, and value for both new and existing users.
At the heart of this evolution is ESET HOME, a unified security management portal that provides users with complete visibility and control across all their ESET-protected devices. Through ESET HOME, customers can manage subscriptions, activate new products, monitor security status, and stay connected to the broader ESET ecosystem with ease.
Our product lineup has been reimagined around the home experience, ensuring every plan delivers even greater value. Existing customers will see no disruption to their current subscriptions. Instead, at the time of renewal, they’ll be automatically upgraded to the nearest enhanced plan, gaining access to improved features and protection without additional complexity.
With this new product generation, ESET continues to deliver on its promise: maximum protection, minimum impact, and an ever-evolving suite of solutions that keep users one step ahead of tomorrow’s threats.
Every end-user now requires an ESET Home account to activate and manage their ESET Subscription.
