Kaspersky Lab updates product line

BANGALORE, INDIA: Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, has announced the release of an updated line of corporate products Kaspersky Open Space Security Release 2.

The new line includes the latest version of Kaspersky Administration Kit, a centralized management tool, and three applications designed to protect workstations and servers running under Microsoft Windows. The advanced administration tools and protection technologies implemented in the updated product line significantly increase the security, performance and manageability of all nodes on a computer network.

Protecting a modern corporate network requires robust solutions that secure each node on the network, including servers and workstations, and offer convenient centralized management tools. Kaspersky Lab’s corporate products offer exactly this type of protection.

The new applications are fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Servers 2008 R2.

Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 provides intuitive and convenient centralized management of the antivirus protection system. The latest version of the management tool includes over 40 functions that are new or improved, and offers a flexible administration model for protecting corporate networks of any dimensions, from several workstations to a distributed network with complex management structures. Easy installation and the minimal time spent managing system protection via Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 can dramatically reduce the total cost of ownership of Kaspersky Lab’s antivirus solutions.

The new product line also includes three corporate solutions for securing network nodes: Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Servers, and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 Second Opinion Solution. Releases 2 of these products incorporate a new scan engine and heuristic analyzer – a proactive defense tool.

Keith Maskell, Vice President of Corporate Business for Kaspersky Lab, stated: “We have a duty to provide the most modern and advanced level of IT protection to our corporate customers globally. This release proves our commitment, with the inclusion of the latest technologies from our own in-house, large-scale R&D activity. The updated line of corporate products will serve as a foundation stone for our future expansion.”
