Stellar Cyber, the leader in open AI-native security operations, announced a strategic technology partnership with ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, to integrate ESET Threat Intelligence into the Stellar Cyber Open Threat Intelligence Platform. This major integration streamlines threat detection, investigation, and response for joint customers without the added burden of managing a separate threat intelligence platform. By operationalizing ESET’s premium threat intelligence directly within the Stellar Cyber Open AI-driven SecOps Platform, customers will unlock premium threat intelligence without traditionally associated costs.
As cyber threats continue to evolve in speed and sophistication, security operations teams need more than threat intelligence-they need intelligence that immediately improves detection outcomes. Through this partnership, organizations can leverage ESET’s globally recognized threat research and high-confidence Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) to strengthen AI-driven security operations across network, endpoint, cloud, identity, SaaS, and security infrastructure.
Each day, ESET threat hunters analyze over 750,000 suspicious samples and 2.5 billion URLs – delivering real-world intelligence that enables organizations and service providers to anticipate and defend against global cyberattacks. Unlike traditional security platforms that use threat intelligence primarily to enrich alerts after they are generated, Stellar Cyber operationalizes threat intelligence during data ingestion. As telemetry enters the platform, it is immediately evaluated against ESET’s continuously updated indicators-including malicious IP addresses, domains, URLs, file hashes, and other threat artifacts-creating context before AI analytics, correlation, investigations, and automated response begin. By applying intelligence at the earliest stage of the detection pipeline, organizations gain faster and higher-fidelity detections, richer context, improved alert prioritization, and faster investigations while reducing analyst workload.

“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.”
The integration provides MSSPs and channel partners with an opportunity to incorporate curated threat intelligence into customer offerings, helping them enhance security services, demonstrate additional value, and support stronger customer outcomes. For MSSPs, it creates a foundation for richer, more differentiated managed security services – including premium threat-intelligence tiers, higher-fidelity detection, and faster investigation – helping providers deliver stronger customer outcomes without adding another standalone platform to operate.
Customers who license ESET Threat Intelligence can configure their credentials directly within Stellar Cyber’s Open Threat Intelligence Platform, allowing premium intelligence to flow continuously into the platform without requiring additional infrastructure or standalone threat intelligence tools.
The partnership reflects both companies’ shared commitment to openness, interoperability, and enabling organizations to maximize the value of their cybersecurity investments. For partners, that openness translates into the ability to assemble best-of-breed solutions around customer requirements; for MSSPs, it supports differentiated, intelligence-led services that can be operationalized efficiently across customers.
