Stellar Cyber, an innovator in open AI-native security operations, has joined forces with global cybersecurity firm ESET in a strategic partnership designed to deliver ESET Threat Intelligence directly through the Stellar Cyber Open Threat Intelligence Platform.
This deep technical integration simplifies detection, investigation, and response workflows for joint users, eliminating the operational overhead of deploying and managing a separate threat intelligence platform. By operationalizing ESET’s high-fidelity intelligence natively within Stellar Cyber’s AI-driven SecOps framework, organizations can seamlessly access elite security telemetry without incurring traditional secondary costs.
Advancing Ingestion-Time Threat Detection
With modern cyber threats growing in both velocity and complexity, enterprise Security Operations Center (SOC) teams require context that immediately translates into improved threat prevention. Through this collaboration, organizations gain direct access to ESET’s global threat research and high-confidence Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) across diverse environments including network, endpoint, cloud, identity, SaaS, and core infrastructure.
ESET’s threat hunting team analyzes over 750,000 suspicious samples and evaluates 2.5 billion URLs daily, cultivating rich, real-world data that helps organizations proactively intercept global attacks.
Whereas traditional security solutions leverage threat intelligence post-alert generation, Stellar Cyber changes the game by including intelligence at the stage of data collection. In the process of security telemetry collection, the telemetry itself is analyzed for context on an ongoing basis based on ESET’s regularly refreshed telemetry pool that includes malicious IPs, malicious domains, malicious URLs, file hashes, etc. By doing so, the solution provides contextual awareness right away to AI algorithms, correlation engine, and automation scripts.

“ESET has earned a global reputation for its highly actionable, curated threat intelligence, which cuts through the noise and provides real-world attack visibility from the cyber front lines,” said Andrew Homer, Senior Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Stellar Cyber.
“By integrating ESET Threat Intelligence directly into our Open Threat Intelligence Platform, we’re helping customers operationalize that intelligence where it delivers the greatest value during data ingestion. Rather than simply enriching alerts after the fact, we enable intelligence to become part of the detection process itself, allowing organizations to detect threats earlier, investigate faster, and respond with greater confidence.”
“AI is changing the scale of cyber risk, and organizations need threat intelligence that is both actionable and operational,” said Ryan Grant, Country Manager, U.S. and Canada, at ESET North America. “We are thrilled to expand on our existing partnership with Stellar Cyber – enabling customers to seamlessly incorporate ESET Threat Intelligence into their day-to-day security operations through an open, AI-driven SecOps platform. Together, we’re helping security teams reduce operational complexity while improving the speed, accuracy, and confidence of threat detection and response.”
Expanding Value for MSSPs and Channel Partners
The partnership opens up possibilities for MSSPs and other channel partners to leverage business value and capabilities through integration. Service providers are enabled to use the pre-packaged intelligence within their managed solutions to deliver unique and intelligent managed services like premium tiers of detection and rapid incident handling without requiring an additional piece of software to be managed.
ESET Threat Intelligence customers will now be able to feed their credentials into the Stellar Cyber Open Threat Intelligence Platform to create an ongoing intelligence pipeline without adding any more software or hardware.
The partnership underscores the companies’ commitment to open architecture and multiplatform support, making it possible for enterprises and MSSPs to create modular security stacks.
