Kaspersky EDR expert and KATA now deliver more management flexibility for corporate clients

Updated solutions provide the opportunity to configure Windows OS settings in a sandbox.

According to the latest Kaspersky IT Security Economics report, nearly 46% of companies globally outsource work to external specialists due to the complexity of business processes and infrastructure. In-house staff may not always have the necessary knowledge as the threat landscape is rapidly changing or because they cannot effectively use complex IT security solutions.

Keeping this in mind, Kaspersky updates its solutions regularly to adapt them to evolving business and security needs and make working processes easier for customers.

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform (KATA) and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert (KEDR Expert) have been updated by allowing to configure Windows operating system settings in a sandbox¹ to be more flexible and adaptable to customer’s infrastructure. This helps IT Security experts to better distinguish malicious links and files, and makes virtual machines with a fully featured OS more customisable to companies’ real business environment. With these new updates clients are able to set up computer and user account names, set system language and install applications.

To enhance the compatibility of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert, the EDR agent was integrated into Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows. Telemetry collected from this agent can be sent to third-party systems via API providing more efficiency for already existing SIEM, SOAR or XDR systems.

“Our customers have complex infrastructures and need cybersecurity solutions with flexible settings. To meet their needs, we are constantly developing our products, customising them, and making them easier to manage. By doing this, we are able to contribute to better business cyber resilience,” comments Veniamin Levtsov, VP, Center of Corporate Business Expertise, Kaspersky.
