KASPERSKY SECURITY FOR VIRTUALIZATION

Advanced anti-malware
Kaspersky’s award-winning anti-malware engine achieves superior detection rates protecting your physical and virtualised environments, even from zero-day threats, using powerful cloud-assisted technology

Easy to manage
Kaspersky Security Center –included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization– gives your IT team a single, unified administration console to centrally manage the security of all your virtual and physical machines, and mobile devices.

Supporting business progress
By making it easier for your team to manage hybrid environments – including virtualised and conventional platforms – Kaspersky Security for Virtualization helps you to introduce virtualisation at a pace that’s right for your business.

Improved return on investment (ROI)
Because Kaspersky Security for Virtualization is an agentless solution, it helps businesses to achieve higher virtualisation density and performance – helping to generate a higher return on investment.

Choice of licensing models. In addition to licensing on a ‘per machine’ basis, Kaspersky now offers a ‘per core’ licensing option. While ‘per machine’ licensing is based on the maximum number of machines running concurrently (though not those staying offline), the ‘per core’ model, covering all cores across the organisation, provides greater flexibility for IaaS and other environments where hardware resources are known but virtual machine numbers fluctuate.

Superior security for virtualised environments
Kaspersky Security for Virtualization has been specifically developed for virtualised IT infrastructure:

• A single, centralised anti-malware solution can protect all virtual machines on a physical server
• Kaspersky’s industry-leading frequency of anti-malware updates helps to minimise vulnerability and protect against new threats

Network-level protection for virtual traffic is provided by intrusion prevention and detection systems (IPS/IDS)

Cloud-assisted Kaspersky Security Network provides a real-time response to zero-day threats.

• Powerful remediation capabilities disinfect malware
• The solution provides agentless protection for virtual machines that run on a wide range of Windows operating systems

A choice of ‘Per Virtual Machine’ or ‘Per Core’ hardware licensing models makes purchasing straightforward for service as well as user environments.

Reducing costs – by simplifying administration
Advanced management features help to simplify administration tasks and eliminate security gaps:

• Instead of having to install and manage protection on every virtual machine, a single instance of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization can protect all virtual machines on a physical server

Networks, servers and endpoints are all protected through a single product integrating fully with VMWare vShield Endpoint and VMWare vCloud Security and Networking.

Shared Cache means that files are scanned just once before being shared by any virtual machine, delivering clear efficiency savings and enhanced performance without compromising protection.

• Virtual desktops and servers are discovered dynamically
• New virtual machines are automatically provided with anti-malware protection – to help eliminate security gaps and misconfigurations
• Administrators can adapt security settings to suit different applications and workloads
