ESET Threat intelligence is a game changer

Cyber ​​threats have gained the upper hand in many global organizations, attacking through a relentless cycle of new phishing scams, malware attacks, and deepfake incidents. As next-generation IT (ESET) and cybersecurity projects continue to proliferate, CIOs, CISOs, and their teams are adopting a variety of advanced strategies to add intelligence to the ever-increasing volume of data, create a culture of innovation, and accelerate their cybersecurity roadmaps.

According to ESET Telemetry, the total volume of threat detections in India decreased by 12% between January and August 2025 compared to the same period last year, suggesting that awareness and prevention efforts are starting to pay off. However, ransomware activity continues to evolve rapidly.

“The threat landscape is changing, but many things from the past have not yet been solved, such as Phishing and Ransomware that continue to concern organizations, while threat actors’ tactics are becoming more effective with the use of Artificial Intelligence,” said Roman Kovac, Chief Research Officer at ESET.

Ransomware detections in India increased by 70% between the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025, according to ESET Telemetry. Phishing remains the most prevalent cyberthreat affecting Indian users, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance and education around social engineering tactics. Attacks are increasing on systems and peripheral devices, as either systems are not updated and carry old vulnerabilities, or there is a case of zero-day exploits on devices, Roman says.

Now, AI threats are becoming more serious for organizations globally and in India. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and fake videos.

As Roman explains, “The APT report as a package includes that our customers can speak directly with ESET analysts and improve their knowledge, and they see us as one of the most valuable Threat intelligence providers globally, including Asia.” ESET has an extensive portfolio that includes endpoint protection, XDR for identity protection, and Threat intelligence.

From a service perspective, MDR is gaining ground, says Roman. “We have key customers in private sectors like mining and energy. Mature, large organizations like BFSI and industrial are ideal customers for threat intelligence. CIOs and CISOs need to always be up-to-date and on top of new trends and the business climate. AI brings many opportunities, but it also offers many challenges, which is why organizations need to partner with technically advanced, capable cybersecurity vendors as a long-term partnership,” says Roman.
