Kaspersky launches Next XDR Expert, a comprehensive XDR solution offering real-time threat visibility, automated response, and seamless integration for businesses with advanced security teams. This new offering reduces infrastructure requirements and simplifies security operations.
Kaspersky has announced that its new solution, Extended Detection and Response (XDR), is now available to customers after a successful evaluation phase with early adopters in a test environment. Companies can now seamlessly integrate this advanced product into their infrastructure under its new name, ‘Kaspersky Next XDR Expert’.
Companies require better and faster threat detection and response, especially regarding new and sophisticated threats. According to Enterprise Strategy Group’s “SOC Modernization and the Role of XDR” report from a survey conducted with Kaspersky, 66% of companies are actively consolidating the number of security operations tools, and 32% are planning to do it in the future. The primary reasons are cost optimization (41%), undesirable management overhead because of complicated security operations technology stack (32%), the need to improve data correlation (32%), and the need to speed investigations and response (32%). Comprehensive solutions like XDR give them an all-encompassing view of their organization’s security.
Kaspersky Next XDR Expert is a robust cybersecurity solution that aggregates, analyzes, and correlates data from various sources across an organization’s IT infrastructure. It provides real-time visibility and a contextual view of potential threats targeting organizations to deliver advanced threat detection and automated response. With unrivaled scalability, it can support loads encompassing hundreds of thousands of endpoints in a single instance.
Kaspersky Next XDR Expert is the most advanced tier of Kaspersky’s new flagship product line for business – ‘Kaspersky Next’. It is tailored to meet the needs of companies with experienced cybersecurity teams or Security Operations Centers (SOC). Kaspersky Next XDR Expert offers seamless integration with cybersecurity products from third-party vendors, enabling companies to streamline their security operations and simplify the management of multiple security solutions.
