As organisations face an increasing number of complex threats, APTs, and targeted attacks, Kaspersky has updated its Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack (KATA). The upgraded platform now provides customers with a Network Detection and Response (NDR) functionality and allows for more flexible subscription licensing support for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP).
Organisations face a never-ending barrage of complex threats, APTs and targeted attacks. According to a recent Kaspersky survey, 77% of companies experienced at least one cyber incident in the past two years and more than half of them reported that these incidents were serious.
Without proactive protection against this onslaught, businesses leave themselves open to some very serious and expensive consequences. Therefore, rapid detection and the fastest possible response play a key role in companies’ protection. With this in mind, Kaspersky is always developing its products ensuring its customers have the best possible cybersecurity.
Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack combines network-level advanced threat discovery and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) capabilities, while giving IT security specialists all the tools they need to handle superior multi-dimensional threat discovery, apply leading-edge technologies, undertake effective investigations, threat hunt proactively and deliver a rapid and centralised response.
The new release of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack allows customers to activate Network Detection and Response (NDR) features that focus on real-time monitoring and threat detection within a network. With the new capability of Transport Layer Security (TLS) fingerprinting, customers can now analyse both internal and external traffic without decrypting it.
This technique helps detect and mitigate security threats and categorises different types of clients and servers. Moreover, additional enhanced NDR features will be available in the first half of 2025.
The updated platform also offers more flexible subscription-based licensing support for MSSP partners and allows them to activate and renew capacity licenses automatically via activation codes.
“Businesses require comprehensive and flexible cybersecurity solutions. Therefore, we are always improving our products, making them more effective and reliable for our customers. With the new KATA release, we enhanced its detection and response capabilities against network threats and provided simplified subscription licensing support for MSSP partners making the administration processes easier and faster,” comments Timofey Titkov, head of cloud and network security product line at Kaspersky.
