Kaspersky touts EDR Optimum and Kaspersky Sandbox consolidated security approach

Cybersecurity vendor Kaspersky has unveiled a new security 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 organisations with even limited security expertise and resources, giving IT security specialists instant visibility and insights on incidents, along with immediate investigation and automated response options.

According to a recent Kaspersky IT Security Risks Survey, around 40% of mid-size companies and enterprises lack sufficient insight and intelligence on the threats faced by their organisation. The difficulty, the survey found, is that their resources are usually limited when it comes to dealing with complex threats.

To analyse the growing number of incidents, they need more employees, including high-class security analysts, threat hunters and incident responders.

Dmitry Aleshin, VP, Product Marketing at Kaspersky, said the technology and cybersecurity landscape is changing rapidly, meaning organisations 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,” he said.

Aleshin explained that 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.

Kaspersky said endpoint protection is now reinforced with the new Kaspersky EDR Optimum as it is a solution specifically designed for businesses that 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.

The security vendor explained that Kaspersky EDR Optimum adds instant visibility across threats detected by Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business and provides the background for all malicious activity including enriched alert data and visualisation of the attack spread path.
