ESET, a leading company in proactive threat detection, announces the launch of Cloud Workload Protection, a new security module designed to protect virtual machines in public cloud environments and extend threat visibility beyond traditional endpoints and servers.

Presented at RSA Conference 2026, this new module allows organizations to integrate cloud workload protection within ESET’s detection and response platform, consolidating the security management of endpoints, servers, and cloud environments into a single console.

“Many companies, especially in the midmarket and managed service providers, are increasingly adopting cloud services like virtual machines to improve their productivity,” says Michal Jankech, Vice President of Enterprise & SMB/MSP at ESET. “With ESET Cloud Workload Protection, we extend our protection to public cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, reducing the attack surface and providing greater visibility into potential threats.”

The ESET Cloud Workload Protection module protects virtual machines in public cloud environments and integrates telemetry from these systems within the ESET PROTECT XDR platform, enabling security teams to gain broader visibility and respond more efficiently to incidents that may affect both on-premises and cloud infrastructures.

Unlike many solutions on the market that offer cloud workload protection as a standalone product, ESET includes this capability at no additional cost for ESET PROTECT customers (except for the Entry edition).

According to various industry estimates, the average cost of a data breach in public cloud environments can exceed $5 million per incident, reinforcing the need for tools that simplify protection and enable faster response to threats.

Furthermore, the new module maintains ESET’s characteristic focus on providing lightweight and efficient solutions, allowing IT teams to validate security controls and generate evidence of compliance with regulatory standards such as NIST, CIS, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

AI-Powered Enhancements

Along with the new module, ESET is announcing several enhancements to the ESET PROTECT platform, focused on simplifying incident investigation and improving response capabilities to attacks.

Key new features include:

Advanced AI-powered reporting in ESET LiveGuard Advanced. ESET’s cloud sandboxing technology now includes more detailed behavioral reports on analyzed files. For organizations using subscriptions with XDR capabilities, these reports incorporate AI-generated summaries that help quickly interpret complex findings.

Enhancements to incident investigation for EDR and XDR customers. The platform now offers more comprehensive incident graphs, clearly visualizing how an attack unfolded, identifying the initial entry point, and tracking its evolution over time. New contextual data, such as identity-related information, is also incorporated to accelerate analysis and response processes.

Integration of ESET AI Advisor into the ESET PROTECT console. ESET’s AI-powered assistant is now directly integrated into the management console, providing security teams with easy access to its analysis and recommendation capabilities.

With these new capabilities, ESET continues to expand its security platform to help organizations manage increasingly hybrid and complex environments, combining proactive protection, advanced detection, and investigation tools to enable faster and more efficient responses to modern threats.

In parallel, the company also announced eCrime Reports, a new service within the ESET Threat Intelligence portfolio that offers detailed analysis of real-world incidents related to ransomware and infostealers. These reports include indicators of compromise (IoCs), technical campaign analysis, attack patterns, and recommendations to help security teams anticipate threats and strengthen their defense strategies.

Chat privacy is crucial for Meta, the parent company of the social network WhatsApp. To strengthen this aspect, the company introduced changes in the new update that block automatic media downloads and restrict exports and access to conversations.

The feature, called “Advanced Chat Privacy,” is more than just a new platform tweak and “responds to the growing demand from users for greater control over their digital privacy in the apps they use every day.”

The new features join existing ones, such as end-to-end encryption and scheduled disappearance of messages, giving users greater control over the use of their personal data.

Today, there are multiple cyber threats, and social media users have become more aware of the importance of protecting their information, demanding new security mechanisms from service providers.

The measure implemented by WhatsApp reinforces “an industry-wide trend toward privacy as a key element in building long-term trust and loyalty.”

Next April 2 is the date announced by Nintendo to offer more details about its new Switch 2 console, which is already ready to go on the market.

In April, the company will broadcast a Nintendo Direct, an online event through which they will reveal details about the details of the new console. At the moment, it has been leaked that the controls or Joy-Con can be separated and reinserted differently than the already known rails.

However, the design of the console remains quite similar to its predecessor. The Switch 2 will have a wider rear support so that it can be tilted and held. In addition, it will be compatible with the titles of the first console, both in physical and digital format.

Through various in-person events during the months of April and May, fans of the brand will be able to learn more details about the new Nintendo console.

WhatsApp plans to activate a third blue ticket to indicate that the user has sent the same message received to another chat or has taken a screenshot of the content.

As is known, currently, users of the app distinguish whether the message reached the sender and was read through the double blue ticket.

According to recently leaked information, with the third check, it will be possible to know if the recipient has taken a screenshot and forwarded the message to other chats.

The activation of this novelty does not seem to imply major changes in the user experience. However, some opinions are oriented towards the fact that this could reduce the indiscriminate capture of messages, “improving trust and privacy.” Although the user could use another device to take the screenshot, limiting its effectiveness.

Meta announced the first redesign of Facebook during the recent Facebook IRL event held in Austin, Texas. The changes seek to offer a more personalized and dynamic experience to win over generation Z.

According to the parent company of the social network, the objective is to attract young users, who search Facebook for interesting content, share audiovisual material, as well as stay up to date on cultural events.

In this sense, Meta’s announcement revolved around the new features that products such as Facebook Dating or Messenger will offer, in addition to new tabs such as Groups or Explore.

The tests being carried out in Austin, New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Chicago, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco and Phoenix allow users to discover local content of interest in a single tab. Thus, “the platform has begun to integrate a new tab called Local” where users can find local information from the Marketplace, Groups and Events sections.

Facebook is also testing a “Weekly and Weekend Summary for Events”, specifically with an agenda of upcoming events that notifies users through notifications with data based on their particular interests.

Another new feature is the Feed, “a new sliding section that highlights the best content on the social network related to your area”. In the “Explore” tab there will be personalized content to explore in depth thanks to the social network’s algorithm, which includes areas such as personal growth, arts, travel, sports, decoration and much more.

Videos, full-screen player and new AI assistant in Groups

Facebook is making progress in conquering the youngest with new features in the audiovisual field. “A new updated Video tab will be introduced soon that will make it easier for people to discover Reels, videos and live streams that interest them.” Also, “full-screen playback of this content will be included.”

In the Groups tab, Facebook will make it easier to answer questions with an AI-based assistant. “If the Group administrator decides to activate this feature, every time a new member enters it, they will be able to open a chat with the Group’s AI and ask the Group questions they have about it and access relevant posts within it.” The tests include selected Groups in the US and Canada.

Facebook Dating and Messenger are also updated

To strengthen Facebook Dating, the network launched Matchmaker, “a tool that allows you to invite up to five friends to choose potential matches for you.”

Regarding Messenger, earlier this year, the Notes feature was introduced in the section to “share how you feel.” With the redesign, you can include music or mentions. On the other hand, the Memories feature is now available to relive and re-share moments posted in the past.

Communities arrive in Messenger

It is a function that allows small and medium-sized communities to be connected through shared interests. Users have the option to create multiple chats according to the topics that the group handles, in order to organize and facilitate conversations within a larger Community. The management and moderation of your community is possible without the need to create a Group on Facebook and grow a community by invitation through the QR code.

Content monetization

A few weeks ago, Facebook introduced its “Imagine” tool that allows users access through the Feed, the Stories composer and the profile page. Earlier, in early 2024, they launched AI-powered Comment Summaries in Public Groups, Pages, and Creators. Precisely to support those who produce content, Facebook is launching a new monetization program that will allow them to expand “the opportunities for them to earn with more content formats. Meta is also planning to test monetization options in Stories in the coming months.”

Google’s new announcements for its Gmail email include the launch of its Gemini AI-powered contextual smart replies in addition to check marks on iOS and Android.

The technology company shows progress in its Gmail email service with these Gemini AI-powered contextual smart replies. The feature will offer “more detailed response suggestions tailored to the context of the messages.”

It is a major improvement on this type of response from Google’s email since 2017. “Now, instead of suggesting short responses like “That’s fine!” or “Thanks,” Gemini’s AI does a full analysis of the content of the emails and proposes “more elaborate and personalized messages.”

This has been achieved by Google with machine learning. Gemini can now analyze the context of each email message and generate more appropriate and useful response suggestions. “After initiating an email response, users will be able to access these new options, which will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Hovering over each response will give users a preview of the full text, making it easier to select the most appropriate option.”

Once the user has selected the response that Gemini has suggested, they can begin editing it as they see fit or simply send it directly.

Google incorporates the blue checkmarks

In addition to the contextual smart responses, the technology company has launched the blue checkmarks to the application for iOS and Android.

The marks, which were introduced in 2021, aim to strengthen “security and trust between senders and recipients. By displaying the blue seal, it indicates that the sender is legitimate and is not spoofing, which helps to stop spam and cyberattacks.”

Gmail now also supports “Common Brand Certificates (CMC), a new type of BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) certificates” that are issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs), paving the way for a larger number of senders to use the BIMI system, strengthening the security of the service.

Meta promises announced news in WhatsApp video calls. Users will be able to share screen and video, as well as add more participants and highlight the caller, among others.

According to the parent company of the instant messaging application, the new features will apply to the calling section on computers and cell phones. The company highlighted that “there are several modifications and that one of these improvements is focused on integrating all users into a call with the screen sharing option with audio, which allows users to watch videos simultaneously and share the audio when the screen is shared.”

In the announcement, Meta noted that users can make a call with up to 32 participants, “in which the keynote speaker role was added,” so that participants identify who is speaking.

The security issue for WhatsApp has also been improved, according to Meta spokespersons, for greater peace of mind for users.

Because only 3 % of the content that Facebook users see on the platform is news, Meta decided to eliminate the Facebook News section from the social network tab.

The measure was recently applied in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. However, starting in April, it will also be eliminated in the United States and Australia.

The notification about the removal of Facebook News, created in 2019, was announced through the Meta Support page, a company that wants to “focus its time and resources on things that people tell us they want to see more of on the platform, including short videos.”

In relation to the media, Facebook indicated that they will be able to continue sharing their news on the platform, “and users will continue to have the ability to view and share news on their personal profiles.”

Facebook will continue to work to verify the information that appears on the platform, in addition to strengthening its relationship with independent data verification organizations around the world, to guarantee that the information is 100% real.

In this sense, it is important to highlight that the company has established partnerships with more than 90 independent fact-checking organizations worldwide to review content in more than 60 languages.

Twitter will introduce payment for individual articles in the social network, with which it seeks that the media that want to take advantage of this novelty obtain income from their publications.

Media publishers will have one more option on the social network in May to individually monetize their articles, as reported by the CEO and owner of Twitter, Elon Musk.

With this novelty, users interested in an article will be able to pay to access it “with a single click“, as the tycoon has highlighted. “This allows users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher price per article when they want to read an occasional article,” he explains on his profile on the social network.

Musk sees this as a win-win feature for both publishers and the public. His defenders point out in the same news thread that it allows payment on demand for those items that you want to see, and may even be cheaper than paying a monthly payment.

The detractors of these ‘micropayments’, on the other hand, warn of the possible proliferation of headlines known as ‘click bait’, those designed to attract attention and tempt visitors to click on a link, to see a paywall it could deter some users or that it could benefit the big media more than the smaller ones.

On the other hand, Musk did not detail how this payment system per article would materialize, nor has he anticipated whether he will charge a fee for the mediation of Twitter in said transaction.

A similar idea is also present in Post, one of the social networks that postulate as an alternative to Twitter. Its founder and CEO of Post, Noam Bardin, introduced this platform in November 2022, highlighting his intention to offer access to journalistic content from “premium” publishers by paying only for the articles that are read, thus avoiding subscriptions and ads.

WhatsApp is working on launching an informative tool, in the style of newsletters. With this, a step is taken in the consolidation of the already known functionality of Communities.

It is no secret that social networks have now become the main means of information for people, as well as allowing them to report situations or do marketing.

In this sense, WhatsApp is working on a new information tool, such as a Newsletter, so that Communities can publish information easily and quickly.

Users will have the opportunity to directly select the newsletters, and also announcements, they wish to receive.

Although until now the final name of this tool has not been revealed, it is known that it is included in the latest update of the beta version for Android 2.23.5.3.
