== History ==
;1987–1992
The product NOD was launched in [[Czechoslovakia]] when the country was part of the [[Soviet Union]]'s sphere of influence. Under the communist regime, private entrepreneurship was banned. It wasn't until 1992 when Miroslav Trnka and Peter Paško, together with Rudolf Hrubý, established ESET as a privately owned limited liability company in the former Czechoslovakia. In parallel with NOD, the company also started developing Perspekt.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-06-18 |title=Made in Slovakia: ESET |url=https://www.nextech.sk//a/Made-in-Slovakia--ESET |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=IT News |language=sk}}</ref> They adopted the name ESET, from the Czech name of [[Isis]], the Egyptian goddess of health, marriage and love, as the company name.
