## What ESET's AI Security Layer Does

[ESET](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000c9z/eset) built the AI Security layer around four features. AI Conversation Security safeguards interactions between users and ChatGPT, scanning URLs in model responses and flagging content from phishing, malicious or potentially unwanted sources before a user clicks. It also scans scripts generated by large language models to help prevent users from running malicious code. ESET said Gemini and Copilot will be integrated soon.

AI Agent Security monitors what AI agents access and download before execution, protecting against unsafe files, scripts downloaded by AI tools and suspicious external URLs. AI Behavioral Monitoring works alongside it to continuously watch agents' actions for unusual behavior, suspicious access attempts and unexpected download sources. AI Skills Checker, a free online tool powered by AI Agent Security technology, scans AI skills, which ESET describes as add-ons that enhance AI tools, for signs of malicious activity before installation.

"AI is quickly becoming part of everyday digital life, and cybercriminals are already using it to create more convincing scams and new attack paths," said Viktória Ivanová, Vice President of Consumer & IoT at ESET. "With this launch, we are strengthening protection exactly where people work, browse, communicate, and experiment with AI tools."

Browser Screen Protection prevents unauthorized screenshots, screen recording and screen sharing, and guards against infostealers and screen-capture malware during online banking, shopping and private browsing. ESET Mobile Security for iOS, available on the App Store in free and premium versions, includes Link Checker, Device Scan and Device Settings Check for free, and Anti-Phishing for Safari and Connection Security in the premium tier. ESET noted the iOS app is pending approval and subject to Apple App Store approval, with availability varying by region. ESET Small Business Security now includes Web Control, which lets users configure web access settings to protect employees from dangerous, inappropriate or unproductive pages.

## ESET's Earlier AI Investment

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), ESET announced a €40 million AI cybersecurity initiative at ESET World 2026 in Berlin in May 2026, including proprietary AI foundation models, a next-generation AI SOC and a three-year plan to expand its R&D team to 1,000 researchers and engineers. The same records show ESET announced three new offices in France, the Netherlands and India at the same event, bringing its total to 20 global offices.
