Kaspersky Lab has unveiled the next generation of its endpoint protection with new Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. The product features Adaptive Anomaly Control, whichintelligently perceives and blocks anomalous applications and user behavior, and offers improved protection from miners and network threats. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business now also provides users with a web-based management console, along with features to help automate administrator tasks —all to give IT security teams greater control across all endpoints in their corporate infrastructure.
When a business reaches a certain stature, endpoint protection becomes a challenging task: not only because the number of cyber threats is constantly growing, but also because the infrastructure itself becomes more difficult to manage and is widening the attack surface. New Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is specifically designed to help businesses overcome these challenges.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business improves prevention from emerging threats. New Adaptive Anomaly Control is an intelligent component which analyzes the behavior of users and ‘remembers’ their activity patterns, allowing it to block actions that are abnormal for a particular user. The whole process is automated, so IT security administrators do not need to configure rules manually. This saves time and reduces the risk of false positives.
In 2018, experts saw a spike in miner-related attacks with more than five million users affected . To avoid the computing resources of corporate machines from being harnessed by mining malware, the Web Control in the new Kaspersky Lab solution includes dedicated techniques to reveal and block cryptocurrency mining online.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business now also provides more capabilities for web-based threat prevention. Encrypted traffic scanning in its Web Threat Protection component enables protection through identifying and blocking threats that attempt to use encrypted channels to penetrate the system undetected. It scans in bound and outbound encrypted HTTPs traffic to intercept potential malicious activity.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business maintains a comprehensive set of protection technologies, empowered with Threat Intelligence and assisted techniques, as well as cybersecurity controls such as Device Control and Encryption, Vulnerability and patch Management, and integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response — all to protect customers from operational and financial losses.
