MELBOURNE, Australia – 27 February, 2013 – Kaspersky Lab today unveiled its new generation of business security solutions, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business (KESB), designed to help businesses overcome the latest challenges in managing a secure, efficient network.
The increasing demand for BYOD in enterprises of all sizes, has led Kaspersky Lab to significantly increase the ease of management and protection options available in this product for securing mobile devices. The Mobile Security and Device Management function allows business to provide the flexibility which staff require while ensuring sensitive corporate data is kept safe.
“Australian businesses want the flexibility to provide staff with a BYOD option, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business provides this flexibility along with piece of mind that all devices accessing sensitive corporate information are secure” said Andrew Mamonitis, Managing Director, Kaspersky Lab Australia & New Zealand.
The company’s new flagship security platform for enterprise was built to provide the industry’s best protection from advanced malware and cybercrime, able to combat another common enemy of IT security – complexity.
In addition to sophisticated malware targeting businesses on a daily basis, IT Administrators must now account for new complexities that include:
- Employees who wish to use their mobile devices and PCs to get their work done
- Smartphones and tablets used to access the company network from anywhere in the world
- Confidential data moving freely within the company network, or outside of the network via mobile devices, laptops or USB thumb drives
- Finding and patching holes in user applications and operating systems
“The fundamental mission of the IT Administrator hasn’t changed much, but there are more obstacles along the way.
“Organisations of all sizes deal with these challenges, but small to mid-sized businesses suffer from an additional hurdle: lack of resources and expertise to manage these new demands.” Mr Mamonitis said.
To simplify and secure business of all sizes, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business provides IT administrators with a single management dashboard, built on a Kaspersky Lab’s own unified platform to reduce the complexity of the operation of the software.
“IT managers now have a tool which will easily allow them to see, control and protect their corporate network,” Mr Mamonitis said.
