KasperskySecurity Center

Kaspersky Security Center takes the complexity out of security administration and IT systems management. Fully scalable, the console supports growing businesses with changing security needs, and facilitates comprehensive systems and security management, with easy separation of administrator responsibilities – all from one unified management console which is also available as a web-based console.

Kaspersky Security Center is feature-rich:

  • A powerful administration console, with an additional flexible web-based interface that’s available wherever you are – through any static or mobile device.
  • The ‘single pane of glass’ lets you view and manage security right across your corporate environment – cloud, physical and virtual machines and mobile devices.
  • Easy deployment and security management with ready-to-use unified policies.

Whether you manage several hundred workstations or 100,000, on a centralized or distributed infrastructure or both, Kaspersky Security Center makes it easy to install, configure and manage our comprehensive security technologies. Take the pain out of scaling and activate new tools and features as the security needs of your business evolve.

  • Automate hardening IT security, gain a 360° view

    Increased platform, device, software and application diversity makes life difficult for IT Security Managers. Complexity undermines security, but if you don’t have a handle on what you’ve got, how can you secure it?

    Hardware discovery, software inventory and the timely patching of vulnerabilities are labour-intensive and time-consuming.

    Kaspersky Security Center helps simplify these challenges. Physical, virtual and cloud-based endpoints, mobile devices and embedded systems are managed together through one console, improving efficiency and reducing your TCO.

    • Take control of assets, reduce costs

      Kaspersky Security Center enables complete visibility into hardware and software running on your network. Save on licensing costs by centrally monitoring and provisioning usage rights. Automated device detection, hardware discovery and software inventory reports help optimize resources. With Kaspersky Security Center, it’s easy to track and control software licensing and hardware assets.

    • Identify and manage vulnerabilities

      The Vulnerability and Patch Management capabilities managed in Kaspersky Security Center identify possible entry points of malicious programs into your network by detecting vulnerabilities in your applications and operating systems, and blocking them before malware can cause disruption.

      Automated vulnerability assessment is based on real-time cloud intelligence into exploit activities, keeping critical patching up-to-date without impacting on systems or users. With support for 150+ software applications, Kaspersky Security Center's vulnerability monitoring provides comprehensive cover for the most widely used business applications. Once detected, vulnerabilities are prioritized and the most dangerous shut down first.

    • Automate risks mitigation

      Patches are downloaded, distributed and installed automatically whether on a physical, virtual or cloud-based machine. Optimized algorithms for Microsoft updates lower network traffic and require less disk space.

      Monitor patch installation status with reports on the progress and effectiveness of patches for third-party applications.

    Streamline routine tasks

    Kaspersky Security Center contains a wide range of IT systems management features which streamline routine IT tasks for heterogeneous networks.

    Kaspersky Security Center’s extendible architecture includes plug-ins for the management of security products for every platform. If a new (or updated) security product is released, the corresponding extension can be installed onto Kaspersky Security Center without console reinstallation or patching, Endpoint software distribution and deployment can be easily carried out with Kaspersky Security Center’s client management tools, while centralized management is complemented by role-based access and integrated dashboards, so that each administrator can only access the tools and data relevant to their responsibilities.

    • Easy scalability

      Scale without changing your initial setup. Up to 100,000 physical, virtual and cloud-based endpoints can be managed through a single server installation of Kaspersky Security Center. One update agent can handle up to 10,000 hosts. Primary-secondary hierarchies can also be created for multiple servers, where roles and rights applied to the primary server are inherited by every secondary server, and the primary server is fully aware of every host managed by each secondary server.

    • Insure your data

      Centrally managed encryption capabilities provide an additional layer of security to prevent data loss through device theft or malware attack. Kaspersky Security Center enables administrators to centrally enable/disable FileVault on Mac OS®, mobile device encryption, Kaspersky Encryption and Microsoft BitLocker® on Microsoft® Windows®. It also monitors the status of encrypted devices, reports blocked access to encrypted files and backs up encryption keys onshore to restore forgotten access credentials.

    • Optimize remote support

      Cut response times and increase efficiency with streamlined remote troubleshooting and support capabilities – connecting to client/remote computers managed in Kaspersky Security Center via RDP promotes easy diagnostics and troubleshooting of any software.

    • Seamless deployment to remote offices

      Setting up new workstations in branch offices can be done remotely and automatically. You can also roll out and schedule new applications for automatic installation after-hours. This enables the creation, storage and deployment of system images from a central location – ideal for migration to Microsoft® Windows® 10, for example.

    • Cross-platform mobile device management

      Kaspersky Security Center can manage corporate and employee mobile devices from the same console with the same efficiency. Employees can safely use their mobile devices when working away from the office, without compromising security.

    • Secure mobile working

      Manage threat protection for mobile devices in real time via Kaspersky Security Center and gain full visibility through smart protection-level indicators. Separate corporate and personal data on user devices – including on guest devices – and enforced passwords and/or encryption of corporate data prevent leakage in the event of device theft or loss.

    • Support for employee-owned devices

      BYOD initiative? We provide easy-to-use management wizards in Kaspersky Security Center for the deployment of protection with Over the Air (OTA) provisioning technology, and enrollment consoles (Samsung KNOX).

    • Ease administrator workload with Self-Service Portal

      In the event of a mobile device being lost or stolen, SIM-Watch, Remote Lock, Wipe and Find can be activated by an administrator or user via the Self-Service Portal immediately, preventing unauthorized access to corporate data.

    Visibility and control

    Kaspersky Security Center provides a ‘single pane of glass’ management console that makes it easy to manage and secure all your devices – physical, virtual and mobile.

    • New web console

      Manage core security features remotely and straightforwardly through our new web console, with its user-centric approach and fresh new design. Security for Windows and Linux workstations with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select can now be managed directly through the web console. Monitoring and reporting for all Select and Advanced tier components can also be accessed in the new console.

      The web console is available via a web browser:

      • No need to install or update remote console software
      • No need to configure network ports for communication
      • Platform agnostic
      • Also accessible on mobile devices (e.g. tablets)

    • Ensure system integrity and respond promptly to threats

      Kaspersky Security Center lets you monitor any changes to critically important components of your assets, such as web servers and ATMs, and respond promptly to breaches of the integrity of these systems. Receive events from the System Integrity Monitor component – this lets you monitor not only the file system of a device (File Integrity Monitoring), but also its registry hives, firewall status and the status of connected hardware.

    • Easy-to-manage security for all devices

      Deployment, configuration and management of security policies for all devices on all platforms is carried out from within the single console, providing better visibility while improving manageability and control.

    • Prevent attacks from public networks

      Untrusted public Wi-Fi networks expose devices – and the corporate network – to attack. By creating a list of trusted networks specifically for employees on the move, you can allow access to trusted Wi-Fi networks, and prohibit other networks, without impacting mobility or productivity.

    • Simplify firewall management

      Configure and manage firewall settings in Linux and Windows operation systems. Kaspersky Security Center lets you enforce your network policy to all endpoints from a single console.

    • Minimize risks and improve employee efficiency

      Define and control what devices and applications can access your network, and how they can execute, to guard against malware. Manage and control which devices, applications and sites employees can access.

    • Plug proven protection into cloud environments instantly

      Native integration between the management console and the Amazon Web Services cloud environment provides full visibility and control over Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux and Kaspersky Security for Windows Server instances deployed in the cloud.

      Deploy Kaspersky Security Center on an Amazon EC2 instance to manage protection of your environment, or subscribe to one of the AMIs available at the AWS Marketplace and receive an instance with ready-to-use Kaspersky Security Center. In this case, Kaspersky Security Center is installed on the instance without you having to do anything.

      Other public clouds also can be used through the standard approach.

    • Optimized updates and traffic

      A new signature update mechanism has reduced the volume of update traffic travelling between your Kaspersky Security Center server and agents by up to 20 times.

      Further volume optimization can be achieved by using a remote endpoint as an update agent; every update agent can now also serve as a Kaspersky Security Network proxy in remote environments.

      This lightening of the load on your communications channels means more bandwidth availability for other tasks.

    • Apply audit best practices
