Kaspersky Hosted Web Security: Overview

As the Internet has become an essential tool for business, cybercriminals are using more sophisticated methods to launch Internet, email and, increasingly, blended attacks on corporate networks.

Meanwhile, employees are spending more time accessing the Internet and working remotely. In addition, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the openness and dynamic of Web 2.0 technology to distribute malware. This means that many organizations are actively seeking world-class corporate malware protection for their multi-platform IT infrastructures.

Kaspersky Hosted Web Security provides High Value protection against web-borne threats. It also enables organizations to filter out inappropriate content that may place liability on a business, as well as limiting access to social media. Both of these actions combine to enforce an Internet usage policy - for a more secure, safe and productive working environment.

  • Heightened protection from web-based threats
    Kaspersky Hosted Web Security eliminates both known and new malicious content, including malware, spyware, viruses and zero-day attacks before they can reach your network. It defends against ever-evolving threats by using cloud-based and anti-malware technology from Kaspersky Lab. The technology reliably identifies malicious programs for which signatures have not yet been released in order to protect corporate networks against zero-day attacks.
  • A compliant and productive workplace
    With dynamic web content filtering and effective web policies, the Kaspersky Hosted Web Security service helps limit any legal liability, enhance user productivity and improve network performance by preventing inappropriate, bandwidth intensive, or non business-related content from entering the network. Easy-to-use tools enable businesses to implement granular policies for both inbound and outbound communications.
  • Effective use of IT resources
    Kaspersky Lab’s cloud-based service makes web security cost-effective and reduces the burden on IT departments. Easy deployment means no additional capital expenditure and minimal management and maintenance.
