Kaspersky Lab Launches Kaspersky Small Office Security 2

Kaspersky Lab has released the second version of Kaspersky Small Office Security, a solution designed for the protection of small businesses. The updated solution is simple to configure and provides optimal security for small business computer infrastructure and data, with minimal impact on system resources.

Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 incorporates antivirus technologies from Kaspersky Lab. The antivirus scanner, heuristic analyzer, application control system and isolated ‘sandbox’ environment for launching suspicious files enable the detection and blocking of both known and new malicious programs before they can inflict any damage. The solution protects servers and workstations running on Windows OS.

The new version of the product is a comprehensive solution that provides wide-ranging protection against external threats. Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 now has a host of new features, such as backup capabilities, a data encryption system, a password management module and an administration center designed to improve the level of security and system management.

Flexible backup tools, which have been integrated into the product for the first time, help to prevent the leakage of financial data, client information and other valuable records in the event of computer failures and employee errors.

The encryption system allows all confidential corporate information to be encrypted using a strong algorithm to provide reliable data protection. The Password Manager module now incorporates Safe Notes to protect any other secret information from harm, such as PIN codes, storing it alongside login authentication data in a password-protected database. The Web-Use Policy module allows the user to block access to unwanted websites, prevent the downloading of files of specified formats and control Internet usage.

With Kaspersky Small Office Security 2, the entire small business network can be managed from a single networked PC. Using the administration console, the user can quickly check the security status of any corporate computer and remotely resolve almost any detected problems. The user can also monitor the Wi-Fi network from any system workstation and receive recommendations concerning how to rectify any identified vulnerabilities that may compromise security. Additionally, product license management, backup tasks and malware scanning of one or more computers can all be performed without the user having to leave their desk.

“We have developed this product specifically to cater for the needs of smaller businesses, some of which may not have a dedicated IT specialist,” said Kaspersky Lab’s CEO, Eugene Kaspersky. “Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 ensures complete protection, uses only negligible system resources and requires minimal system management time. The updated solution offers affordable protection without the need to be an IT expert," added Kaspersky.
