SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 24, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 ESET<\/a>, a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced that it has received \u00a9Intel vPro Certified App status for ESET PROTECT cybersecurity solutions. This certification validates that ESET PROTECT meets the rigorous efficiency and performance targets set for \u00a9Intel vPro platforms, including enhanced user experience, extended battery life, preserved CPU usage and background performance for business customers.<\/p>

\u201cAt ESET, we believe that world class protection must never come at the cost of performance,\u201d said Juraj Malcho, CTO at ESET. \u201cReaching Intel \u00a9vPro Certified App status reflects our dedication to innovation by engineering highly efficient security solutions. Through our collaboration with Intel, we\u2019ve been able to elevate the performance and energy efficiency of ESET PROTECT by leveraging the advanced features of Intel\u2019s hardware technologies.\u201d<\/p>

Since 2022, ESET and Intel have closely collaborated<\/a>\u00a0to deliver advanced ransomware protection through \u00a9Intel Threat Detection Technology (Intel TDT) to customers around the world,
and\u2014together\u2014the companies have worked to enable Intel-powered AI PC users to take advantage of Intel\u2019s hybrid processor architecture to access advanced protection and performance benefits. To gain Intel vPro Certified App status, ESET fine-tuned its products to efficiently run on Intel vPro. These efforts have delivered an 86% reduction in background activity, lowered CPU utilization by 72%, and increased power efficiency by 66% on Intel vPro powered PCs1.<\/p>

As the latest chapter in the collaboration, ESET is in advanced evaluation of detection capabilities for \u00a9Intel Threat Detection Technology – Deep Learning & Trace based Execution Context Tracker (\u00a9Intel TDT-DTECT). Intel TDT-DTECT presents a novel approach to detecting malicious activity by leveraging advanced AI techniques to analyze runtime x86 machine code execution, captured directly from the CPU. This method bypasses traditional security strategies that rely on file scanning, behavioral indicators, or cloud sandboxing, focusing instead on the actual instructions executed by the processor in real-time.<\/p>

\u201cIntel TDT-DTECT introduces a new approach to threat detection by applying AI to processor-level execution tracing, available uniquely with Intel\u201d said Dennis Luo, Sr. Director and GM, Worldwide AI PC Developer Relations at Intel. “We’re working closely with ESET as they are implementing TDT-DTECT to offer commercial users an effective solution to counter advanced malware threats in today’s evolving cybersecurity landscape.”<\/p>

Intel TDT-DTECT exemplifies a paradigm shift by embedding detection capabilities at the hardware execution level, enhancing security beyond conventional software-based methods. By innovating on top of Intel TDT-DTECT, ESET customers will gain better visibility and overall performance in the following areas:<\/p>
