Kaspersky Lab Presents Kaspersky Small Office Security 2

A solution specially designed for the protection of small businesses, Kaspersky Lab has released the second version of Kaspersky Small Office Security. The updated solution, Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 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 protects servers and workstations running on Windows OS, which is the operating system of choice for many small businesses. This new version of the product is a comprehensive solution that provides wide-ranging protection against external threats. It 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 system enables backup copy scheduling, the storage of any number of file versions, the saving of backup copies to any computer or network storage device and the subsequent setting of an access password. Any file that was lost or erroneously modified can be retrieved from the storage with just a couple of mouse clicks.

Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 also includes an effective encryption system: all confidential corporate information can be encrypted using a strong algorithm to provide reliable data protection. Employees can create individual, encrypted, password-protected containers in which to store different kinds of information.  Such containers can be securely transferred using a USB device or email and can be opened on any computer with Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 installed provided that the correct password is inserted.

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."
