The computing environment today

Today’s information technologies present businesses with countless ways to communicate and collaborate; creating a new global work environment that transcends the physical limitations of borders and distance.

We now have online access from practically any location on earth to colleagues, clients and partners, online shops, banking services and an abundance of information. The dark underside from this growing freedom is the unique openings it provides cyber-criminals, who are constantly evolving their methods and technologies to steal confidential data from individuals and organizations.

The contemporary corporate network is a very different place from that of just a few years ago, and this is transforming how we approach network security. In the past, networks had clearly defined perimeters on which a protective barrier could be built. Today, a typical network may host multiple sub networks – with laptop, smartphone and PDA users – forming intersecting and constantly shifting perimeters.

The corporate network is now a dynamic open space without rigid structures, which leads to a whole new set of security challenges. With this in mind, Kaspersky Lab has developed Kaspersky Open Space Security.

Kaspersky Open Space Security is our approach to trans-perimeter network security where protection extends beyond the workplace to reach remote users and an increasingly mobile workforce. At Kaspersky Lab we believe that freedom and flexibility in corporate communications is fully compatible with airtight protection from contemporary security threats, such as viruses and other malicious programs, hacker attacks, spyware and spam.

Kaspersky Open Space Security is a suite of products designed to protect network structures of all sizes, from basic to complex:

Kaspersky Open Space Security meets and exceeds core requirements for comprehensive protection of corporate networks:

• A solution for all network nodes and platforms
• Protection against all types of Internet threats
• Rapid response
• Proactive technologies backed by traditional signature-based protection

Kaspersky Open Space Security provides security on the move:

• Protection for laptops everywhere – in the office, at home and on the move.
• Protection for returning and/or guest computers

Kaspersky Open Space Security successfully counters new attempts by cyber criminals to attack networks and block protection:

• Anti-rootkit technology
• Protection from identity theft
• Rollback of changes made by malicious software
• Self-defense against attacks by malware

Kaspersky Open Space Security diminishes total cost of ownership by providing simple, transparent administration and efficient performance:

• Centralized administration
• Compatibility with third party solutions
• Efficient use of network resources

Kaspersky Open Space Security products are flexible suites designed to make purchasing network protection simple. For example, take a network that has a large number of Windows workstations, a couple Linux workstations, and a couple file servers. It isn't necessary to buy separate security applications to protect the different nodes of the network, even if running on different platforms. Instead, just find the product that includes the necessary network nodes (in this case, Kaspersky Business Security), add up the licenses that you need, and make just a single purchase. It's that simple!
