Howard Technology Solutions Partners with ESET, a global leader in digital security

Ellisville, MS – May 20, 2024 – Howard Technology Solutions (HTS), a leading manufacturer and reseller of custom computers, servers, self-service kiosks, and mobility carts, as well as related technologies, recently partnered with ESET, a global leader in digital security, to protect businesses, critical infrastructure, and consumers worldwide from increasingly sophisticated digital threats.

Data breaches and ransomware attacks that result in financial loss and disruption of business are major concerns for companies worldwide. Culprits range from system misconfiguration and operating system (OS) vulnerabilities on endpoint devices to outright cyberattacks. Safeguarding an organization’s sensitive information requires awareness, diligence, and the right tools.

Howard is committed to helping its client base enhance digital privacy and stop breaches before they start, and their recent partnership with ESET is key in that process. ESET enables Howard to service clients more effectively in their fight against cybercrime and to avoid common technology pitfalls that result in losses to both businesses and customers alike.

A single layer of defense is not enough in today’s constantly evolving threat landscape. ESET offers next-gen digital security for businesses and is a preferred vendor for education, medical, and healthcare facilities and government organizations that require cost-effective, reliable, easy-to-deploy cybersecurity solutions that protect sensitive data from the most sophisticated threat actors.

According to Howard Vice President of Sales, David Perkins, “It’s our job to help our clients protect their information and assets. Our decision to partner with ESET was based on their solid reputation and long-term leadership for cyber threat prevention, detection, and response.” He further stated that ESET’s similar core values added weight to their decision.

For decades, ESET has been an early pioneer in the use of AI for threat detection, investigation, and response. Organizations can stay protected against ransomware, phishing, zero-day threats, and targeted attacks with the cloud-based ESET PROTECT platform, which offers automated, all-in-one defense—from endpoints to other potential threat vectors, including mobile phones, email, web, and cloud apps.

Perkins stated, “We believe our partnership with ESET will benefit us as much as it does our clients. It will allow both companies to support clients across more markets and enable us to provide them with exceptional digital security. We believe this is something our clients can’t do without.”

Ryan Grant, Vice President of Sales for ESET North America, said, “Howard is known for their long history of excellence and white glove service that sets them apart in a crowded industry. Their business customers range from Fortune 100 organizations to SMBs. We are thrilled to support Howard as their cybersecurity partner – helping their diverse customers to optimize their budgets while deploying proven, world-class security solutions, including endpoint, XDR, and MDR.”
