Kaspersky Lab introduces a major update of its Anti Targeted Attack Platform on 26 April, 2017
Kaspersky Lab has renewed its Anti Targeted Attack Platform to detect advanced threats and targeted attacks for enterprises. The solution blends advanced machine learning algorithms, actionable worldwide threat intelligence and adaptivity to customer infrastructure, to help large businesses uncover the most sophisticated and damaging attacks at any stage of their development. The new Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform also features scalability improvements with Sandbox clustering, and optimized visibility with major GUI updates.
The Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform combines network and endpoint sensors, sandbox technology and intelligent analysis to correlate different indicators of compromise and help businesses discover even the most complex targeted attacks. To counter advanced cyber threats, the latest solution improvements bring in new powerful tools such as the monitoring of corporate workflow, including web and e-mail traffic, when integrated with the Kaspersky Security for Mail Gateway solution.
Detection: The efficiency of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack platform has already been praised by customers and independent testing institutions. The 2017 update ups performance with better endpoint integration, via Kaspersky Lab’s endpoint security solution or a standalone endpoint that allows users to detect behaviour anomalies and request additional data for processing. Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform improves the visibility and analysis of an attack. This is achieved by processing not only files, but also URLs using a sandbox. In addition, it is now possible to process password-protected archives to address another common criminal tactic of sending protected attachments with a password. Archived payloads are now analyzed with a better detection rate overall.
Scalability: Sandbox infrastructure is now decentralized and can be scaled depending on the needs of a customer, with better adaptivity to existing hardware/virtualized infrastructure and lower cost of deployment. In addition, the solution’s connection to network and e-mail traffic has been simplified with additional deployment options suitable for a particular IT infrastructure. The Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform is capable of blocking malicious e-mails, when integrated with the Kaspersky Security for Mail Gateway solution.
Visibility: Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform enables a fully reworked dashboard, with detailed information on the status of periodic checks, the latest events, and incident information with collated data on corresponding events. To ensure privacy, different roles have been implemented for administrators. Access to information concerning certain parts of the infrastructure with sensitive data can now also be restricted according to a company’s privacy policy.
Veniamin Levtsov, Vice-President, Enterprise Business, Kaspersky Lab, commented, “The new features of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform are a direct result of our efforts to address customer feedback. A series of deployments, including one at a major financial institution has showed the advantages of our advanced algorithms, along with the need to better adapt to customer requirements in terms of accuracy of detection, ability to scale and visibility.
“As we adapt to the constantly changing threat landscape, it is important to innovate, transforming security intelligence into effective technologies for our customers. It is also important to constantly improve our advanced algorithms and deliver them in a way our customers want. After all, convenience, cost of ownership and usability contribute to the faster detection and remediation of threats – just as much as the latest technology does. As we continue to enhance the detection and response capabilities in our solutions, we have dedicated a sizeable share of resources towards making sure our products reflect the true needs of our customers”.
Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack platform is available in select markets around the world immediately.
