Effective Anti-Malware protection

Kaspersky Hosted Web Security provides world-class corporate malware protection and is powered by the very latest security technology, including:

  • Zero-day protection
    Kaspersky proactively protects against unknown malicious and potentially unwanted programs.
  • Bi-directional scanning
    By scanning both incoming and outgoing web traffic including SSL encrypted communications, Kaspersky Lab helps detect traces of spyware activity to prevent data leakage. This function also makes it easy for IT professionals to quickly identify infected computers on the network and helps reduce the time and resources needed to remediate an infected machine.
  • Web filtering and safe searching
    Strong controls ensure that confidential data stays housed on the network and that malicious sites are purged from search engine results to protect users against increasingly common phishing and scam sites. With SearchAhead, the service clearly marks Internet search results to alert users about whether a site is authorized or blocked, to help increase network security and reduce the number of attempts to connect to blocked content.
  • Usage visibility
    This service delivers easy-to-use tools for creating, enforcing and monitoring corporate web usage policies for all users, even remote or roaming employees. As a result, administrators can protect their company from any legal liability associated with inappropriate content, as well as improve network performance and employee productivity by preventing inappropriate, bandwidth intensive or non business-related content from entering the network.
  • Granular and flexible policy management
    Kaspersky Hosted Web Security provides granular control over web content and utilizes multiple techniques such as real-time dynamic web content classification, an industry-leading URL filtering database, file-type filters, early warning filtering and real-time scanning of search results with SearchAhead.
  • Web content categorization
    The service categorizes websites into more than 70 different types with global coverage and multilingual domain support. Administrators can create different access policies for various user groups based on URL categories, content types, file types, schedules and quotas.
  • Seamless integration
    Kaspersky Hosted Web Security integrates seamlessly with existing Active Directory infrastructure to let administrators easily create different access policies to suit different areas of the organization.
  • Dynamic content filtering
    Dynamic, or user-generated content creates a huge blind spot for traditional filtering techniques which are based purely on website categorization. Kaspersky Lab’s dynamic content classification effectively prevents inappropriate content from entering the network.
  • Real-time protection for on-site and remote workers
    Using the service, administrators can set up one centralized policy for the entire organization, regardless of user location. With globally distributed data centers, parallel processing and redundancy, the service is backed by 99.999 percent uptime assurance. In addition, remote users can either be routed to the nearest data center or to a specified data center
