We are pleased to announce the availability of ESET Endpoint Security / Antivirus 9 BETA for public testing.
The new generation of ESET Endpoint products for Windows brings new features and improvements, let us briefly describe the most visible ones.
Auto-update – This feature improves the upgrade experience for administrators and makes keeping ESET products on latest version easier. It is enabled by default and works out of the box. Technology was present in Windows Endpoint version already 8.0, EULA approval was replaced with EULA notifications.
Brute-force attack protection - Evolution of reputation and blacklist-based password-guessing defense technology, providing further protection for RDP and SMB protocols in business networks.
Official ARM64 support for both EES and EEA for Windows on ARM ( Secure Browser, Machine learning protection and Deep behavioral inspection features are not available for ARM64 platform in this version)
The new features mentioned are not manageable by ESET PROTECT management console as of now.
Please check also the list of Known issues for the first public BETA build, we believe the severity of those is very low so they should not affect your user experience much
Device Control: Printing task stays in printing queue when printer is blocked
Audit logs contain strings "FeatureId", "OldState", "NewState"
Web control: Warn action does not work properly for some websites
Secure Browser: Ask me option available for websites in list

Device Control: Some bluetooth devices are not listed in Populate of Device control
