New Update

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization is delivered as a virtual security appliance that integrates with VMware vShieldâ„¢ Endpoint to provide agent-less, anti-malware security based upon Kaspersky Lab's advanced anti-malware engine. Developed from the same code-base as Kaspersky Lab's award-winning line of endpoint security products, Kaspersky Security for Virtualization avoids the needless complexity and resource-drain associated with security programs that typically “bolt-on” acquired technology for virtual environments. With Kaspersky Lab, customers have a single, unified management platform for their virtual, physical and mobile environments.

In addition to plug-and-play compatibility with Kaspersky Lab's own endpoint security offerings, Kaspersky Security for Virtualization seamlessly integrates with VMware vShieldâ„¢ Endpoint Security, providing straightforward protection for virtual data centers, virtualized servers and desktops. Using VMware vShieldâ„¢ Endpoint, the centrally managed Kaspersky Security for Virtualization automatically detects every virtual machine on the network, delivering files to the Kaspersky Lab client for real-time anti-malware scans. This integration with VMware vCenterâ„¢ means straightforward deployment, automatic protection of new virtual machines, mapping of both logical and physical computing structures, and automatic security updates, all delivering increased consolidation ratios for customers and managed by the Kaspersky Security Center administration console - “a single pane of glass.”

Petr Merkulov, Chief Product Officer, Kaspersky Lab, commented: “Our integration with VMware gives customers the ability to deploy Kaspersky Lab's industry-leading security technology through their trusted VMware infrastructure. This is only the beginning of our partnership. We plan to develop more functionality with the VMware API, along with the ability to isolate any infected virtual machines before malware can spread across the network. Our valuable channel partners are thrilled to have an optimized virtualization solution added to their portfolio of Kaspersky Lab products. This is the first step for Kaspersky Lab's virtual security offerings as we plan to expand our functionality across all popular virtualization platforms.”
