A customer can now set up application launch policies according to security requirements, for example, create a list of applications prohibited from launching. To combat these types of threats, the updated Kaspersky product has a newly added application control for Linux workloads, helping businesses effectively prevent the launch of unauthorised or unknown (and potentially dangerous) executables. For example, in summer 2020, a large vendor of solutions for digital workspaces and the professional print industry, became a victim of one such Linux executable, RansomEXX, leading to an outage of company services. Protection from ransomware attacks is also critical to avoid disruption and financial loses.

Compromised servers can go unnoticed for a long time.

Advanced threats for Linux can be no less severe than for other operating systems, with such servers often hosting critical applications or becoming a springboard for access to endpoints on Windows and iOS.

The Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console now works with public cloud platforms to enable more convenient management of cloud workload protection.Īs Kaspersky research shows, dedicated protection for Linux servers is essential, no matter if they are on-premise or in the cloud. It also extends protection for DevOps with support for new containerisation environments and more native delivery of protection mechanisms for Docker containers. The new version of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux hardens defenses from exploits and ransomware attacks. Kaspersky has unveiled updates to two of its applications in the Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security protection solution for virtualisation and cloud environments - Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux and Kaspersky Security Center management console.
