Kaspersky presents its new line of enterprise products, Kaspersky Next, which combines strong endpoint protection with the transparency and speed of EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), plus the visibility and efficiency of XDR (Extended Detection and Response) tools. Customers can now select from three levels of protection based on business needs, the complexity of their IT infrastructure, and the resources they have available.
In an ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, it is vital that businesses have a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that they can trust and depend on for effective protection. According to Enterprise Strategy Group’s SOC and XDR Modernization Report, enterprises still struggle to find information security tools that can detect and investigate advanced threats early.
Kaspersky Next is a new line of cybersecurity products that offers powerful endpoint protection equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Threat Intelligence capabilities provided by a local team, along with EDR and XDR technologies to corporate clients of different sizes and sectors.
Kaspersky Next is implementation independent and allows installations both in the cloud and on a local corporate server (on premise). Enterprises can manage it through a streamlined console to quickly perform basic cybersecurity tasks or through an enterprise-grade console with more granular controls and advanced monitoring.
The new product line helps companies develop crucial cybersecurity functions to provide robust protection against threats (ransomware, malware), data breaches, as well as prevent infrastructure penetration such as business email compromise (BEC). , for its acronym in English), supply chain attacks, exploits and other vulnerabilities.
Kaspersky Next includes multiple automation features such as cloud monitoring and blocking, vulnerability and patch management, IoC verification, and playbooks that help enterprises not only support the effective detection and remediation of new and complex threats, but also to significantly reduce the load on cybersecurity teams, thus minimizing the number of routine cybersecurity tasks.
Kaspersky Next currently includes three product tiers:
Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations: provides powerful endpoint protection that identifies and neutralizes threats before they can harm business processes. Flexible, easy-to-use security controls and integrated IT scenarios enable zero-touch deployment and businesses to customize their security policies to meet their unique needs.
This level is recommended for companies where information security is the responsibility of IT departments.
Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum: offers extensive protection for cloud-based environments and extends response and investigation capabilities to enable businesses with a small security team to create essential incident response processes with minimal resources.
This level is recommended for companies with small cybersecurity teams.
Kaspersky Next XDR Expert: aggregates, analyzes and correlates data from multiple sources across an organization’s IT infrastructure, delivering real-time visibility and deep insights into evolving emerging cyber risks, enabling advanced threats to be detected early and automate the response. It is a solid cybersecurity solution that can also be integrated with other technologies, including from other manufacturers.
This solution is recommended for companies with experienced cybersecurity teams or Security Operations Centers (SOC).
Kaspersky Next is part of the company’s B2B product ecosystem and is designed to be directly compatible with other Kaspersky solutions and services. With the growing demand for more comprehensive cybersecurity protection, businesses can also easily migrate from one level to another, depending on their cybersecurity requirements.
“The launch of Kaspersky Next has two important meanings: the arrival of the XDR solution and the reinvention of our entire corporate solutions offering, marking the beginning of a new chapter in our history as an enterprise provider. Kaspersky Next simplifies EDR and XDR technologies for businesses and organizations of all sizes. We are providing the best protection, powered by our exclusive expertise, to all clients, from those without cybersecurity professionals to those with specialized teams. Our goal is to enable companies to develop better protection strategies, along with reliable and cost-effective security that adapts to their needs,” says Claudio Martinelli, general director for the Americas at Kaspersky.
