ESET recognised for cutting-edge ransomware remediation
The SC Awards, now in its 28th year, recognise the solutions, organisations, and individuals that have demonstrated outstanding achievement in advancing the security of information systems.
'SC Awards are recognised worldwide by the cybersecurity community, and we are honoured to be a finalist in the Best Business Continuity, Disaster, Ransomware Recovery Solutions category', said Ryan Grant, VP of Marketing and Sales at ESET North America. 'ESET has a history of innovation in mitigating ransomware, and Ransomware Remediation was launched to deliver comprehensive defence from encryption, theft and data holding. This recognition speaks to our continued investment in the ESET PROTECT platform and our commitment to offering businesses peace of mind in the fight against ransomware'.
Unlike solutions based on the Windows Volume Shadow Copy service, ESET Ransomware Remediation is a proprietary post-execution solution which works with and is enabled by ESET Ransomware Shield – monitoring for and blocking sophisticated attacks before they happen. Solving one of the most common failings of regular backups during a ransomware attack – the lack of isolation or segmentation of data — ESET Ransomware Remediation creates temporary encrypted backups of important data, all in a sequestered environment untouchable by untrustworthy apps and processes.
'From the rise of generative AI attacks to breaches exploiting third-party access and non-human credentials, the past year has reminded us that cybersecurity needs to be about innovations that help enterprises pivot, adapt, and thrive in a threat landscape that changes by the hour', said Tom Spring, Senior Editorial Director, SC Media.
'Being named an SC Awards finalist is a recognition not only of technical innovation, but of a shared commitment to making the digital world safer', Spring said. 'It's inspiring to see how this year's community of finalists — across identity, cloud, data protection, and beyond—is pushing forward together, united by purpose'.
The 2025 SC Awards entries were evaluated across 33 specialty categories by a distinguished panel of judges, comprised of cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, and members of the CyberRisk Alliance CISO community, representing sectors such as healthcare, financial services, education, and technology.
The 2025 winners will be announced on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at RSAC '25 in San Francisco at the SC Awards Reception. Find the full list of 2025 finalists on SC Media's website here.

ESET joins Europol's Cyber Intelligence Extension Programme
Dubai, UAE: ESET, Europe's leading global cybersecurity company, is proud to announce its participation in the pilot phase of the Cyber Intelligence Extension Programme (CIEP), a new initiative launched by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3). The program aims to strengthen public-private cooperation in the fight against cybercrime by enabling real-time collaboration and intelligence sharing. As part of this initiative, ESET Chief Research Officer Roman Kováč, and Senior Malware Researcher Jakub Souček, recently spent several days at Europol headquarters in The Hague meeting EC3 teams and exploring ways in which ESET's threat intelligence can directly support investigations into ransomware operations, payment fraud schemes, or complex cybercrime infrastructure. Europol functions as a people hub, a data hub, and a case hub, a place where collaboration, intelligence, and operations converge. ESET's team met with law enforcement officers from multiple countries, experiencing firsthand how one central platform fosters effective cross-border cooperation. 'We believe the CIEP sets a new benchmark for actionable intelligence sharing, joint operational readiness, and collective impact,' says Roman Kováč, Chief Research Officer at ESET. ESET has a long history of collaboration with global law enforcement agencies, including in EC3's Advisory Group, where we are represented by ESET Senior Research Fellow Righard Zwienenberg. ESET has also contributed to successful law enforcement operations, including the takedowns of prominent threats such as Gamarue, RedLine, Grandoreiro, Lumma Stealer, and most recently, Danabot. The new CIEP initiative elevates this collaboration further, creating opportunities for direct, real-time engagement with Europol's operational teams. Public-private partnerships like this one are crucial in mitigating risks within today's rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape. ESET extends sincere gratitude to Marijn Schuurbiers, Head of Operations, Gonçalo Ribeiro, Head of Cyber Intelligence and architect of the CIEP program, and to all dedicated professionals at EC3 for their continued efforts in enhancing the fight against cybercrime across Europe and beyond. Cyber threats evolve rapidly, but through partnerships such as this, so does our collective defense. Together we can make Europe a safer place. About ESET ESET® provides cutting-edge digital security to prevent attacks before they happen.
