Guardian360 vs. ESET PROTECT: Security Governance vs. Endpoint Protection
For most MSPs, ESET is the frontline defense for laptops and servers. But who is watching the network gaps, the cloud identity drifts, and the compliance checkboxes? Discover how Guardian360 provides the governance layer that turns ESET’s technical protection into auditor-ready compliance.
ESET is your Shield. If your immediate need is to stop ransomware, block malicious websites on employee laptops, and manage patching for Windows and macOS devices, ESET PROTECT is one of the best in the world. It is an essential operational tool for any IT team that needs to manage the "health" of individual devices.
When Guardian360 is the Right Choice
Guardian360 is your Auditor. Choose us when you need to answer the question: *"Are we compliant?"* We scan the entire network (including printers, IoT, and switches that can't run an ESET agent) and we use honeypots to catch hackers who have already bypassed the endpoint. We provide the "Big Picture" that ESET’s device-centric view might miss.
The Hybrid Security Stack
In a mature MSP stack, these tools don't compete—they collaborate. ESET secures the endpoint; Guardian360 audits the network and the cloud while providing the reporting required for ISO 27001 or NIS2 certification. Using both ensures you are both protected *and* compliant.
