Some interesting mobile security features are included as well, such as a combined signature-based, proactive and cloud-assisted detection, which results in real-time protection. Pre-configuring and deploying applications centrally using SMS, email, and PC are available with the Deployment Over the Air provisioning feature.
Kaspersky also outlines cloud-enabled endpoint controls. Application control is powered by Dynamic Whitelisting from Kaspersky's in-house laboratory, which boasts reduced exposure to an attack, giving total control over the specific software that can run when installed on PCs. Kaspersky Lab has developed the Dynamic Whitelisting Database to offer better application categorization by systemizing knowledge of legitimate software. With devices thus controlled, users can set, schedule, and enforce data policies. Host Intrusion Prevention regulates access to sensitive data on recording devices by using local and cloud reputation databases.
KESB follows the traditional approach of an on-premises solution. With the on-premises approach, there are usually a few ways KESB can be deployed, but the most common way will be from the Kaspersky Security Center. Administrators have access to detailed information about network security levels, as well as configuring all the components of protection built using Kaspersky Lab applications.
Deploying endpoint agents and security policies from the Security Center is an easy, straight-forward process to follow. The Vulnerability and Patch Management component is a great feature as it allows for automated vulnerability elimination, which can ultimately free up security teams from constantly performing manual checks. KESB has improved manageability and deployment as it can now accommodate up to 100,000 endpoints through a single server installation.
