The choice of the device protection solution is never trivial, especially with regard to SMEs, small and medium-sized companies, which do not have the typical budgets of giants available and therefore cannot invest in platforms that are too expensive or complex, requiring a constant intervention of the IT department or continuous staff training. It is precisely to meet the needs of these realities that Kaspersky has developed Endpoint Security Cloud , a solution that is easy to install and suitable for all pockets.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud: low-cost protection for mobile workers
Remote work is increasingly widespread in every type of company and even in the smallest realities an important percentage (up to 40% according to Kaspersky's research) of workers connects to corporate services remotely , often using multiple devices and not only the classic notebook. A huge advantage for both companies and employees, who can easily work from home or on the road, but by doing so it becomes more difficult to protect data from both cyber threats and unforeseen events such as device theft.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has been designed to meet this type of requirement but stands out from the competition for two key features:ease of use and very competitive price .
Being a cloud-based solution, companies won't have to worry about buying specific hardware or hiring new IT specialists. The installation and management of the service takes place from an intuitive web panel and thanks to the presence of a series of preconfigured security profiles, just a few clicks will be enough to secure remote devices , be they computers (whether Windows or MacOS) or smartphones / tablets.
Once Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is installed, the terminals will be scanned in search of OS or app vulnerabilities and will be kept safe thanks to the Kasperksy cloud that will take care of being a firewall, blocking network attacks, preventing exploits and monitor the classic threats transmitted via email or malicious websites .
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Plus, for those who want to stay even more secure
Endpoint Security Cloud is also available in a Plus version which adds web and device controls, patch management and encryption functions . Encryption is essential to prevent any attacker from accessing data following the theft of a device, while patch management allows network administrators to simplify the process of updating systems and applications , which can be started remotely on the entire fleet of business devices.
" Incidents related to cybersecurity are not only a problem for large companies; even small and medium-sized companies are facing the same challenges" - commented Morten Lehn, General Manager of Kaspersky Lab Italy - "They also need a computer security solution that can provide a proven and complete protection, but at the same time simple to implement and manage, as well as convenient. Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a software-as-a-service solution that meets all these criteria: it does not require investments in hardware and protects companies immediately after installation. This new version makes this product even more suitable for SMEs that focus on scalability, mobility, smart working and various examples of collaboration ".
Being a cloud service, the payment is in the form of a subscription. Prices start at 380 euros per year for the protection of 10 workstations which includes support for two mobile devices (both iOS and Android are supported) each. In the case of Endpoint Security Cloud Plus the price goes up to 608 euros a year , again for the same number of devices.
