ESB comes with a wide choice of predefined reports for viewing anything from infected computers and endpoint inventory to detected threats and web browsing behavior. We found it initially spends a few days in training mode after which it creates smart rules based on its findings, and you can quickly load reports to see training progress and whether any rules have been triggered. The web content filtering component can't match the efficacy of UTM hardware appliances but Kaspersky has increased the number of available URL categories from 15 to 28.Īdaptive anomaly control is also enabled in this policy section and can be applied to Office app, WMI, script and PowerShell activities.


Policy security controls go even further as these allow you to enforce black and white application lists and decide what hardware devices can be used on client systems. Many components can be modified easily just by using a slider bar to choose from three levels. Advanced threat protection includes access to Kaspersky's Security Network for reputation-based scanning, behavioral detection for ransomware protection and exploit protection.Įssential threat protection features include a memory resident file scanner, transparent scanning of email and web traffic, a client firewall and network attack detection. Policies provide easy access to all security features and we found it simple to customize the various components. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Advanced review: Threat protection features

Another valuable feature is ESB's integral vulnerability and patch management component which checked our clients, showed all required updates and offered to automatically deploy them.

Selecting a client shows their properties in a right-hand pane while a drop down menu provides access to options such as running tasks, forcing synchronizations and viewing hardware and software inventories.Ī useful support feature is the ability to fire up a remote control session with a selected client using RDP or Windows desktop sharing. Policies can be modified from the System Center or web console and we found changes took around 10 seconds to be pushed out to our clients.Ĭhoosing a group reveals all member systems, with each assigned colour-coded icons for at-a-glance status indicators. You can create custom groups and apply new policies to define how a client's Network Agent and Endpoint Security components behave when they join a group.ĮSB's group policies are a powerful feature as they allow you to centrally manage all endpoint security and threat protection features and stop end users fiddling with the client settings or uninstalling them. The System Center creates a base set of security policies for the default group so all our test clients were protected immediately. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Advanced review: Group policies Group structures based on selected workgroups or AD domains can be created where you leave the discovery routine to populate them and then run the entire deployment. All unassigned systems can be added to a console group with this feature enabled and ESB will do all the hard work for you. The automatic installation option is even faster.

The ESB console places all discovered systems in an 'unassigned' list where we selected our Windows test workstations, pushed the Network Agent and Endpoint Security components to them with one job and watched ESB move them to the default managed group.

You're spoilt for workstation deployment choices ESB can search network subnets, workgroups and Active Directory (AD) domains.
