May 29, 2024

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is proud to introduce ESET AI Advisor, an innovative generative AI-based cybersecurity assistant that transforms incident response and interactive risk analysis. First showcased at the RSA Conference 2024, the new solution is now available as part of the ESET PROTECT MDR Ultimate subscription tier and ESET Threat Intelligence.

Unlike other vendor offerings and typical generative AI assistants that focus on soft features like administration or device management, ESET AI Advisor seamlessly integrates into the day-to-day operations of security analysts, conducting in-depth analysis. Building on over two decades of ESET’s expertise in AI-driven endpoint protection, the offering provides detailed incident data and offers SOC team-level advisory. This is a gamechanger for companies with limited IT resources who want to utilize the advantages of advanced Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions and threat intelligence feeds.

“As cybersecurity threats become increasingly sophisticated, ESET remains committed to providing cutting-edge solutions that address these challenges. The ESET AI Advisor module represents a significant leap forward in our mission to close the cybersecurity skills gap and empower organizations to safeguard their digital assets effectively,” said Juraj Malcho, Chief Technology Officer at ESET.

One of the primary benefits of this new solution is closing the cybersecurity skills gap. Security analysts of all skill levels can use ESET AI Advisor to conduct interactive risk identification, analysis, and response capabilities, which are provided in an easily understandable format. The user-friendly interface makes sophisticated threat data actionable even for less experienced IT and security professionals.

The ESET AI Advisor also excels in facilitating faster decision-making for critical incidents. Security analysts can simply consult the ESET AI Advisor to understand the specific threats their environment faces. Leveraging extensive XDR collected data, the ESET AI Advisor identifies and analyzes potential breaches and attacks, providing intuitive insights into their behavior and impact. It assists in recognizing phishing attempts and advising users on how to avoid falling victim to fraudulent emails or websites. By monitoring network traffic, the ESET AI Advisor can flag unusual or suspicious behavior, helping security teams take appropriate action. Its ability to automate repetitive tasks is an additional advantage. By managing routine processes such as data collection, extraction, and basic threat detection, it allows security teams to focus on more strategic initiatives.

In ESET Threat Intelligence, the new module will help researchers analyze vast quantities of unique APT reports and understand the latest developments in the world of cyber threats. With its conversational prompts and interactive dialogue, ESET AI Advisor empowers organizations to analyze and mitigate threats effortlessly and fortify their cybersecurity posture.

New partnership directs funds from UK subscriptions to locally led rewilding projects across Britain’s land and seas.

TORONTO, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CoVet, the veterinary industry’s leading AI copilot platform, today announced its first environmental partnership with Rewilding Britain.

Rewilding Britain works to create a wilder Britain for nature, climate, and people. Rewilding is the large-scale restoration of nature until it can take care of itself.

Through the partnership, CoVet will redirect a percentage of individual subscription revenue to Rewilding Britain, helping fund locally led nature recovery across England, Scotland, and Wales. The contributions will support the charity’s Rewilding Innovation Fund and Rewilding Challenge Fund, which back locally-led rewilding projects across habitat restoration, species recovery, community initiatives, and marine projects.

“CoVet has a responsibility to reflect the values of the people we serve,” said Yannick Bloem, CEO and Co-Founder of CoVet. “Rewilding Britain is doing measurable, science-based work to help nature recover across Britain. Every new UK individual subscription will help support that work.”

“We’re delighted to welcome CoVet as a corporate partner,” said Kate Barclay, Director of Fundraising at Rewilding Britain. “Support like this helps us fund crucial rewilding projects, enabling large-scale restoration of ecosystems. It’s encouraging to see a technology company consider its footprint and choose to invest in nature restoration.”

The partnership reflects CoVet’s commitment to supporting the animals, communities, and natural places connected to veterinary care.

CoVet is a remote-first company, which reduces the impacts associated with office operations. Its AI is used only when needed, models are not trained on customer data, and the platform runs on Google Cloud’s energy-efficient infrastructure.

Through Rewilding Britain, CoVet can support nature recovery across Britain while continuing to reduce avoidable impact in its own operations.
