Serious Discussion TuxTalk - Eset Smart Security Premium Thread

My custom HIPS Rules, this set blocks 70-80% of the RATS out there.

In all these years I never saw a single behavioural detection from Eset. The behavioural blocking is explained to be “an extension to HIPS) but I haven’t seen it doing anything.
I've seen Eset's HIPS intervene only once and that happened when it was put it in Smart mode. After updating one of my applications, it detected that application was changed and it notified me about it and asked if it should let it run. Though I can't remember which application raised that notification.
 
When first I opened the VT link @TuxTalk posted, ESET didn't detect it. But they later started detecting it again with the same name as was detected as originally.
In fact, ESET is fast. I assume it is cloud-based, heuristic, emulation, or something of that nature. If it does not detect it the first time, it will certainly detect it the second time.

Liveguard ;-)

ESET LiveGuard is a cloud-based security feature developed by ESET to provide proactive protection against new, unknown, and sophisticated threats such as ransomware, zero-day exploits, and advanced persistent threats (APTs).


🔐 What It Does​


ESET LiveGuard works by:


  • Automatically submitting suspicious files to ESET’s cloud sandbox environment.
  • Running and analyzing these files in isolation using advanced malware detection engines, machine learning, and behavioral analysis.
  • Blocking malicious files before they can affect your system or network.

🧠 How It Works​


  1. Suspicious files (from browsers, email clients, archives, or USB drives) are detected.
  2. These files are uploaded to the cloud sandbox for analysis.
  3. The system uses AI and machine learning to determine if the file is malicious.
  4. If a threat is found, it is blocked across all endpoints in the organization before it can execute.

🛠️ Key Features​


  • Cloud sandboxing for real-time threat analysis.
  • Behavioral analysis to detect what a file intends to do.
  • Fast response time—typically under 5 minutes.
  • Integration with ESET PROTECT for centralized management.
  • Proactive protection that can block file execution until analysis is complete.

🧩 Product Integration​


LiveGuard is available in:


  • ESET Smart Security Premium (for home users)
  • ESET LiveGuard Advanced (for business users via ESET PROTECT)

It complements other ESET technologies like LiveGrid® and Threat Intelligence, forming a multi-layered defense system. [help.eset.com], [www.eset.com], [help.eset.com], [help.eset.com], [www.eset.com]
