This way, the platform could be used across the public cloud, private cloud or even on-premises.
It will become a single cloud-native technological platform to build Kaspersky XDR and will use deployment model agnostic architecture. The central element of this ecosystem is Kaspersky Open Single Management Platform. In addition to built-in advanced technology detection and analysis, the platform will benefit from world-leading threat intelligence (TI) which is constantly updated and validated by leading Kaspersky experts.Īll these components will become an integral part of the single ecosystem which is Kaspersky’s vision for the future of corporate cybersecurity. Working together, the XDR platform with SASE will allow enterprises to implement a zero-trust strategy. Customers will be able to control and reliably protect all popular entry points for potential threats: network, web traffic, email, workstations, servers, and virtual machines. In particular, Kaspersky XDR will bring a wide range of automated incident response scenarios (from blocking a file execution on an endpoint to blocking certain network segments or internal infrastructure for certain users or types of users) along with network segmentation tools.įurthermore, Kaspersky XDR will be based on unified server architecture and will provide centralized management from a single web console. The new XDR offering based on a cloud-native EDR solution will provide visibility and advanced functionality for Al-based detection and auto response logic across all endpoints and the network. SASE brings obvious benefits for XDR, including the ability to collect telemetry from network traffic, stop an attack anywhere across the edge and the network, and simplify orchestration and management due to a single point of control through SASE.
This acquisition will also allow Kaspersky to evolve its existing solutions into full-scale Extended Detection and Response (XDR). Integrations of third-party network controls into Extended Detection and Response (XDR) class solutions from endpoint security vendors alone do not provide enough visibility and investigation capabilities over incidents happening inside enterprise environments.
In particular, Kaspersky’s future SASE offering will eventually include a cloud access security broker (CASB), cloud secure web gateway (SWG), cloud workload protection platform (CWPP), cloud security posture management (CSPM), zero trust network access (ZTNA), and other services.Įxisting security solutions may not deliver a holistic approach to detecting and remediating advanced threats. Due to this strategic move, Kaspersky will be able to offer its enterprise customers both security and connectivity services. This has informed a new network security concept, dubbed by Gartner as Secure Access Service Edge or SASE, which brings security and connectivity together as required.īy acquiring Brain4Net, Kaspersky aims to bring a completely new SASE offering to the market as a unified platform which will combine Kaspersky’s best-in-class security solutions and technologies with Brain4Net’s network orchestration and control capabilities and expertise. SD-WAN enables teams to overcome this challenge by providing efficient management and simplifying the use of security functions for protection of the entire infrastructure.Ī remote workforce combined with large volumes of data and traffic moving between public cloud services and branch offices and data centers, dictate the need for immediate, stable, and secure access for users regardless of their location. In this context, accelerated by the pandemic and its impact on remote workforces, it becomes difficult for organizations to manage and protect their distributed infrastructures from advanced threats. Brain4Net’s team is joining the company and will contribute to building Kaspersky’s compelling network security strategy, as well as a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and evolved XDR offering.Īccording to IDC, worldwide ‘whole cloud’ spending is forecast to reach $1.3 trillion by 2025. The organization has been developing solutions and services to help enterprises and service providers adapt modern technologies, such as Software-Defined Wide-Area Network (SD-WAN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), with existing network infrastructure. Kaspersky, a global cybersecurity company and leader in endpoint protection, has acquired emerging company, Brain4Net.
