Kaspersky CWS now smarter, more scalable and more secure
A recent Kaspersky and ISG report, “Alleviating Cloud Migration Difficulties with Robust Hybrid-Cloud
and Container Security”, highlights the growing reliance on
cloud-native technologies among businesses. According to the report, 78% of
organizations already use these technologies, with 43% planning to expand their
adoption in the next two years. However, many organizations continue to face
security challenges. Notably, 60% of respondents cited difficulties in
identifying vulnerabilities and risks through continuous scanning, creating
potential blind spots.
To
help businesses overcome these challenges, Kaspersky has further strengthened
its Kaspersky Cloud Workload Security (Kaspersky CWS) comprehensive offering.
The update introduces enhanced forensic functionality, providing deeper
insights into system events. This enables security teams to identify the risks,
vulnerabilities, the source of an attack and monitor following events faster.
Additionally, expanded file operation monitoring in runtime now allows
companies to track actions such as file creation, modification, opening and
saving, improving visibility into potential security risks.
Another
key advancement is the orchestrator security problem analysis feature, which
offers a comprehensive overview of security issues categorized by cluster and
orchestrator. This enhancement provides insights into various aspects of
security, including access control, orchestrator configuration, networking,
workload security and secret management. To further strengthen protection, the update
also introduces file threat protection for orchestrator nodes, ensuring a
higher level of security for critical infrastructure.
To
detect abnormal behavior across individual containers, groups and clusters,
Kaspersky CWS now supports automatic container profiling for runtime. This
improvement simplifies policy creation and strengthens overall security.
Scalability of Kaspersky CWS has also been significantly improved, with the
solution now supporting deployments of several thousand nodes, making it well-suited
for large enterprises managing complex containerized environments.
In
addition, the update introduces a new Light Agent for Windows within Kaspersky
Hybrid Cloud Security (KHCS). This allows Kaspersky Endpoint Security for
Windows (KESW) to operate in Light Agent mode, bringing it to feature parity
with traditional/common KESW Agent and improving protection for hybrid cloud
environments.
"As businesses continue to
accelerate their adoption of cloud-native technologies, they face growing
challenges in securing complex cloud environments. Threat detection, forensic
analysis and runtime security must evolve to keep pace with modern cyber risks.
With this update, Kaspersky Cloud Workload Security strengthens protection,
providing deeper visibility, enhanced threat detection and greater scalability.
Our goal is to empower organizations with the tools they need to confidently
secure their cloud infrastructure while maintaining efficiency and compliance
in an increasingly dynamic digital landscape." says Anton
Rusakov-Rudenko, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Cloud & Network Security
Product Line at Kaspersky.
