KaspersKy security for Virtualization

Kaspersky Security
for Virtualization
Virtualization is all about maximizing your investment through optimizing your IT
infrastructure. If your anti-malware solution requires both software and a signature
database to be installed on each of your virtual machines, the object of the exercise is
partly defeated — your protection is compromising your productivity.
And security needs to cover your entire virtual configuration too — not just endpoints,
but servers and particularly virtual networks.
Kaspersky Security for Virtualization provides agentless, award-winning anti-malware
protection and network security for VMware based virtual environments.
As an agentless solution, Kaspersky Security for Virtualization protects your virtual
infrastructure — machines, servers and data centers — more efficiently. The application
is straightforward, flexible, and includes advanced management features that simplify
security tasks across all your physical, mobile and virtual computing assets.
With Kaspersky Security for Virtualization, you benefit from superior protection —
improving your system utilization rates, reducing the burden on IT administration and
security, and increasing your overall return on investment (ROI).
Network-level protection. Kaspersky technology provides powerful protection for network traffic on your
hypervisor, through a combination of Intrusion Prevention (IPS) and Intrusion Detection (IDS) Systems.
Kaspersky is the first security vendor to provide this critical network-level functionality, supporting the latest
VMware vCloud Networking and Security technology.
File-level anti-malware protection. Kaspersky’s award-winning anti-malware engine provides automatic realtime, agentless protection for every active virtual machine, on-access and on-demand.
Cloud-assisted protection from zero-day threats. The cloud-based global Kaspersky Security Network
(KSN) identifies and protects against new and suspected threats, even zero-day threats, with a response time
as low as 0.02 seconds.
Shared Cache. Files are scanned just once before being shared by any virtual machine, rather than separately
by each individual machine accessing them. This approach delivers clear efficiency savings and enhanced
performance without compromising protection.
Centralized Management Console. Kaspersky Security Center provides a single-pane-of-glass view of all
protected devices; virtual, physical and mobile. The protection status of each endpoint can assessed at a
glance, and any remedial action swiftly undertaken from a central point.
Extremely easy to deploy and manage. Security is delivered as a virtual appliance, available to every virtual
machine on the physical server. Users simply create their new virtual machine and copy over a one-file image.
Different security settings can easily be applied to different groups of virtual machines.

Single Platform Architecture
Kaspersky solutions, including Kaspersky Security for Virtualization, are all designed specifically to work seamlessly together and built inhouse from the same codebase, using a single platform architecture. This means no gaps, conflicts or inefficient overlaps in your IT security.
Instead, an efficient, fully-integrated security platform delivers outstanding protection which is easy to manage and highly cost-effective.

Flexible Licensing for IaaS PROVIDERS
General Requirements:
For some businesses, including data centers and IaaS suppliers,
it is difficult to calculate the number of virtual machines needed
at any one time, as machine requirements fluctuate according to
demand. In these cases, where hardware resources are known
but virtual machine numbers are fluid, a ‘per virtual machine’
licensing model may be unhelpful.
• VMware ESXi 4.1 or later
• VMware vCenter Server 4.1 or later
• VMware vShield Endpoint 5.0 or later (VMware vShield Endpoint license is
included in VMware View–Premier and VMware vShield App. Also VMware
vShield Endpoint license is included in VMware vSphere 5.1 or higher)
Kaspersky Security for Virtualization now offers a new, additional
way of licensing — based on a ‘per core’ hardware model rather
than traditional ‘per CPU’ licensing. That’s good news for IaaS
providers, who will find it even easier to offer valuable data protection
reassurance to their customers.
