![]() ![]() ![]() The report notes that while ESET’s endpoint protection platform has a deployment option that supports air-gapped systems, a number of other vendors do not offer this capability, or are in the midst of phasing it out. ![]() “Providers that can accommodate on-premises hosting are now rare,” the Gartner analysts wrote. In its Magic Quadrant report on Endpoint Protection Platforms for 2022, released in December, Gartner analysts Peter Firstbrook and Chris Silva shared survey results showing that 82 percent of the platforms are currently cloud-delivered. The ESET Protect endpoint security platform - which offers threat prevention, detection and response capabilities - can be managed either from an on‑premises console or from the cloud, according to ESET. While acknowledging that a “big push over the cloud” is well underway in security, “we’re fully committed to on-prem,” he said. “We’ve got a number of customers that are continuing to have stacks that remain on-prem, and we’ll continue to focus on that,” Grant told CRN. Unlike some cybersecurity vendors, ESET won’t be shifting its endpoint protection product to a cloud-first or cloud-only model any time soon - given the ongoing importance of on-prem deployment options to many partners and customers, according to Ryan Grant, vice president of sales at ESET North America. “They just haven’t made that leap to migrate to the cloud yet” for security, Smith said. He estimated that 25 percent of the firm’s clients still prefer on-prem. While many ASI clients have at least moved to cloud-based Microsoft 365 deployments for email, for numerous customers “there’s still some hesitation about moving security to the cloud,” Smith said. At Dallas-based ASI Security Partners, the continued support for an on-premises endpoint security option by ESET is “very valuable” to the solution provider as it works to meet customer needs, according to ASI Managing Partner Blake Smith.
