Bangalore: Kaspersky  has launched endpoint security for business that delivers deeper protection and seamless manageability to it departments besieged by cybercrime and changing business demands.

At a press conference held Kaspersky Lab unveiled its business security solutions designed to help businesses overcome the latest challenges in managing a secure, efficient network. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, the company’s new flagship security platform for businesses, was built to provide the industry’s best protection from advanced malware and cybercrime, and also to combat another common enemy of IT security – complexity.  Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is the first true security platform built from the ground up, offering a business critical combination of deep protection, efficiency and seamless manageability.

New IT Department Realities
The fundamental mission of the IT Administrator hasn’t changed much, but there are more obstacles along the way. Organizations of all sizes deal with these challenges, but small-to-midsized businesses suffer from an additional hurdle: lack of resources and expertise to manage these new demands.

What’s New and Improved in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business
Mobile Security and Device Management - Kaspersky Lab administrators secure and protect data, even on employees’ own smartphones and tablets.  Mobile endpoint protection can be deployed remotely through centralized Mobile Device Management (MDM).
Data Encryption – Secure individual files, folders, or full-disks, with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 bit encryption to ensure information remains secure in the event of accidental device loss or theft.

Endpoint Control Tools – Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is designed to control application usage through policies and dynamic whitelisting.  Administrators can also create custom policies around removable storage devices, USB storage devices and printers, and create on-device web policies ensure users browse the Internet safely whether on the corporate network or at home.

Systems Management – An array of new systems configuration, deployment and management tools included in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business makes time-consuming IT tasks like OS installation, network inventory, system provisioning, remote administration, network admission control (NAC) and license management both faster and less complex.

Automated vulnerability scanning and patch management ensures users and administrators are always up-to-date and fully notified about critical security exposures.

Industry-Leading Anti-Malware –The job of the IT Administrator is to build and maintain a network that allows its workers to be more productive; one that is stable enough to never fail but agile enough to incorporate the newest technologies and devices, and which operates within the budget constraints of management.  But while these goals are consistent across all business types, no two organizations are the same.  Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business was built with the SMB in mind, offering premium protection technologies without the need for new budgets or manpower resources to manage them.

Available for purchase today in specialized bundles for businesses of all sizes, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business engineers from a single code-base, which delivers protection in a way that other security products cannot.  Through ONE platform, ONE console, and at ONE cost, IT Administrators can see, control and protect all systems and endpoints in the network, whether it’s a PC down the hall, a virtual machine in another office, or a missing smartphone across the country.

“Over the years Kaspersky Lab has steadily grown in both market sales and in technical capabilities. Last year's overhaul of the company's Endpoint Security offerings signaled that Kaspersky Lab was ready to compete for deals of all sizes. By offering critical capabilities like data encryption, mobile protection, and full system security management, Kaspersky Lab is poised to be a contender in almost all purchase considerations,” stated Charles Kolodgy, Research Vice Presiden Secure Products IDC.
