Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum: new version simplifies protection against complex threats. The current solution has forward-looking detection mechanisms to react to cyber attacks. Damage to relevant operating system files is prevented and file reputation information is provided.
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum now offers advanced automated detection mechanisms and tailored incident response recommendations. The updated solution now also protects against damage to critical operating system files and provides file reputation information from Kaspersky's Threat Intelligence Portal.
More defense against rising attacks
The protection of IT infrastructures, which are becoming more and more complex, poses increasing challenges for companies. Serious security incidents continue to increase - by 50 percent in the past year, as confirmed by the current Kaspersky analysis "Managed Detection and Response Analytics Report".
To support IT security professionals in companies in protecting a larger attack surface and complexity, the cyber security provider has further developed its Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response solution. The updated version provides users with the ability to develop critical incident investigation and response skills, helping them get the job done with tight timeframes and limited attention spans.
New Guided Response feature
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum now provides even more detailed information, which now includes a new “Guided Response” section in the alert notifications, in addition to the already available YouTube video tutorials [5]. This recommends steps for IT security professionals to investigate and respond to incidents.
In addition, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum includes other built-in features such as Threat Intelligence File Reputation in the alert card. If a reaction is executed, a special check helps to avoid errors that could lead to the blocking of important operating system files and, in the worst case, the destruction of the entire infrastructure.
Cloud sandbox detection mechanism
File reputation from the Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal is available directly in the console, giving users an overview of which files are legitimate, malicious or suspicious. In addition, it allows both known and new threats to be identified more quickly and displays information about the regions or countries in which the file was observed most frequently. Additionally, a link to the Threat Intelligence Portal is provided with additional information about the file.
Multiple award-winning solution for professionals and beginners
“When our team worked on the extensions for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum, one of the goals was to make all the features of the solution accessible to all types of users; even for those who are just starting to dive into incident detection and response,” comments Pavel Petrov, Senior Product Manager at Kaspersky. "We are convinced that with the new functions our customers can not only ensure the protection of their company against various types of threats, but also increase the EDR competence of the internal IT security team."
Over the past year, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response has repeatedly received awards for its outstanding protection performance. The product offers excellent results in independent reviews in various ratings, including SE-labs, IDC or Radicati Group.
