Three-in-one: Integrated Endpoint Security solution now offers incident response capabilities for medium businesses with Kaspersky EDR Optimum and Kaspersky Sandbox in consolidated approach
With the latest update to its flagship solution for mid-size
and enterprise businesses, Kaspersky unveils a new
approach that integrates Kaspersky Endpoint Security for
Business with cloud management console, Kaspersky
Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum (EDR Optimum)
and Kaspersky Sandbox. The new EDR is now tailored for
organizations with even limited security expertise and
resources, meaning IT security specialists get instant
visibility and insights on incidents, along with immediate
investigation and automated response options.
Today, both large enterprises and medium organizations
need advanced tools to minimize the risk of complex and
advanced attacks. According to the Kaspersky IT Security
Risks Survey[1], around 40% of mid-size companies and
enterprises lack sufficient insight and intelligence on the
threats faced by their organization[2]. The difficulty is that
their resources are usually limited when it comes to dealing
with complex threats. To analyze the growing number of
incidents, they need more employees, including high-class
security analysts, threat hunters and incident responders.
Automated EDR and sandbox capabilities
Endpoint protection from Kaspersky is now reinforced with
the new Kaspersky EDR Optimum. It’s a solution
specifically designed for businesses who want to benefit
from having company-wide insights on incidents and the
ability to respond, but without creating additional load on
their teams and resources.
Kaspersky EDR Optimum adds instant visibility across
threats detected by Kaspersky Endpoint Security for
Business. It provides the background for all malicious
activity: enriched alert data and visualization of the attack spread path.
If Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business finds a
suspicious file that cannot definitively be categorized as
malicious, it sends it to Kaspersky Sandbox, another
recently launched security tool that automatically runs the
risky file in an isolated environment to make it reveal its
malicious behavior or character. The verdict from
Kaspersky Sandbox can then be further enriched with
analytics on the file performed by Kaspersky EDR Optimum.
For remediation of the threat, Kaspersky EDR Optimum
introduces a wide set of response actions, such as isolating
an endpoint with potential malware or quarantining a
suspicious file. To ensure the threat does not spread to
other machines, security specialists can create indicators of
compromise (IoCs are artifacts that indicate a system has
been breached) with several clicks and then schedule an
automatic scan of endpoints for the malicious object.
Moreover the solution allows for the uploading of third-
party IoCs and running a scan to identify affected
endpoints. All these functions enable centralized
management of security incidents, quickly reacting to
critical threats and preventing them — minimizing the
potential negative impact on business.
More edges of endpoint protection with management from the cloud
As Kaspersky’s researchers found, attacks on Linux
endpoint users have grown 46% in 2019 in comparison
with 2018[3]. To make sure these attacks don’t hit
businesses, the new Kaspersky Endpoint Security hardens
protection for endpoints on the Linux operating system.
Network and web threat protection components ensure
inbound and outbound traffic doesn’t contain malicious
activity. Data protection is enhanced with device control,
allowing it to define the rules for transferring data to other
devices.
Integrated Endpoint Security also meets broader customer
needs in terms of manageability. The management console
Kaspersky Security Center is now available from the cloud,
in addition to the existing on premise option. Customers
choosing Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console can now
deploy it faster with a lower cost of ownership while
ensuring upgrades and other maintenance is managed by Kaspersky.
“The technology and cybersecurity landscape is changing
rapidly, meaning organizations have to deal with more
challenges using the same resources. Therefore, they need
a solution that will help them to address these evolving
challenges effectively — through automated detection and
response capabilities. Time and human resources are key
for this, and Kaspersky’s new integrated solution is
designed to help businesses save on both of these by
providing the key features of incident investigation and
remediation,” says Dmitry Aleshin, VP, Product Marketing
at Kaspersky.
