According to the BSI management report for IT security in Germany 2023, the threat in cyberspace is higher than ever before. Kaspersky's new XDR solution protects corporate processes and resources from complex, targeted attacks.
Kaspersky announces the new comprehensive security solution Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response. The XDR solution combines various security components - including log collection and correlation, incident and asset management, response playbooks and investigative analytics - into a single platform.
The new solution helps companies protect their resources and processes from advanced and complex threats, APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats) and targeted attacks. Early adopters can now evaluate Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response in a test environment and provide feedback before final implementation of the product. The global market launch will take place in the first half of 2024.
The XDR and SOC Modernization Report from the Enterprise Strategy Group also shows that 51 percent of companies are unable to detect and investigate advanced threats with their own tools. Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response comes in here: The XDR solution offers optimized functionality in detecting and responding to threats, prioritizing security alerts, and a central management platform for all security operations.
From Native to Open XDR: Kaspersky and third-party products and services can be integrated
Kaspersky's first XDR solution was released as a native version of the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform in 2016. Now, with Open XDR, Kaspersky is taking the next step toward better detection and incident response. Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response integrates with other cybersecurity solutions from the Kaspersky ecosystem and with third-party products, including endpoint protection platforms and threat intelligence services. These enable companies to unify their security processes and reduce the complexity of managing multiple security solutions.
Easy management and on-premise security
Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response can be easily managed via the Open Single Management Platform and offers comprehensive on-premise security so that sensitive customer data does not leave your own infrastructure while at the same time meeting data sovereignty requirements. The robust cybersecurity solution provides a comprehensive view of your organization's cybersecurity and helps you stay ahead of ever-evolving cyber threats by correlating and analyzing data from multiple sources across an organization's IT infrastructure. Kaspersky's XDR solution provides a holistic and contextual view of potential cyber threats.
“The product is built on our new Open Single Management Platform, giving our customers tailored protection that integrates with Kaspersky products and a variety of third-party solutions. Another advantage of our Open Single Management Platform is that it enables both cloud and on-premise installations, making Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response one of the few installation-agnostic solutions of its kind on the market,” says Anton Ivanov, Chief Technology Officer at Kaspersky.
Kaspersky's XDR solution at a glance
Advanced analytics for comprehensive threat detection and response: Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response provides comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities. Various data sources are used for this, including endpoints, networks and various application and operating system protocols. The solution uses advanced analytics methods and can automatically correlate and analyze data from different sources. The XDR solution is also able to automatically initiate responses to contain and eliminate potential cyber risks. Threat hunting functions are also available for experts to proactively detect advanced threats.
Investigation Graph for more transparency: The Investigation Graph helps InfoSec professionals collect attack artifacts into a clear and coherent picture that is easy to analyze. The graph simplifies the process of investigating alarms and incidents by aggregating events from different systems at a glance, showing their connections, and providing tools for search, enrichment, and response.
Individual playbooks for more efficiency: Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response also enables the creation of efficient playbooks that enable workflows based on flexible triggers and tailored response scenarios. This feature helps companies speed up typical workflows, establish processes for teamwork, and minimize errors so that InfoSec professionals have more time to investigate repetitive, complex incidents.
Easy installation and management: Furthermore, Kaspersky's XDR solution is designed to be easily implemented and managed even in complex corporate environments where data sovereignty is a priority. Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response can be used in any environment or region and ensures compliance with policies and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA ).
The global launch of Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response will take place in the first half of 2024. The solution will also be available as part of a new Kaspersky product line. Companies can already test Kaspersky's XDR solution free of charge during the early adoption phase.
