Case Study: Sheffield Wednesday Football Club achieves lightweight, reliable anti‑malware and centralized security with ESET

ESET Kicks Viruses Into Touch for The Owls

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club (SWFC) needed reliable, low‑overhead anti‑malware and simpler remote administration for its stadium and community programme computers. After their previous antivirus became too cumbersome, SWFC trialled ESET Endpoint Antivirus (with ESET Remote Administrator) on Insight’s recommendation to get automated updates, minimal system impact and vendor support for its education initiative.

ESET implemented ESET Endpoint Antivirus and ESET Remote Administrator to provide proactive malware protection, centralised management and special education pricing for SWFC’s community machines. The deployment delivered low CPU usage and silent background operation—eliminating noticeable slowdowns and false positives—while enabling administrators to manage the entire network from a single console, giving Sheffield Wednesday Football Club more reliable protection, simpler administration and cost‑effective coverage for its community programmes.
