TALLIN — May 27, 2026 — ESET is proud to announce that it is joining a strategic partnership with NATO alongside Microsoft and Palo Alto Networks. This collaboration is an important step to strengthen collective resilience in cyberspace in the face of present and emerging cyber threats. 

Deterrence and defense in cyberspace and the digital sphere are not only a matter of reliable hardware and software, but they are also about shared norms and principles, as articulated by Jean Ellermann-Kingombe, NATO ASG for Cyber and Digital Transformation. This is particularly true at a time when critical infrastructure essential for our societies to function is under attack, and malicious actors take advantage of technological developments to rapidly evolve their tactics.

These strategic, non-commercial partnerships were formally announced today at the International Conference on Cyber Conflict (CyCon) in Tallinn, Estonia, building new momentum for NATO-industry cyber cooperation. The partnerships will help facilitate dialogue, information sharing, exchange of best practices, as well as coordinated activities to address issues of common interest. 

“Sadly, we live in a time of increasing cyber threats that seek to undermine our society and challenge our values, so we are delighted to join this important initiative that aims to collaboratively increase resilience against these threats.”

Martin Talian, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer
