These advancements facilitate the administration and maintenance of security tasks on a platform, and allow for advanced AI capabilities, enhancing various processes from faster data search to improved threat detection. Moreover, this update in Kaspersky Next (www.Kaspersky.co.za) helps companies significantly reduce hardware requirements, leading to cost savings and increased efficiency.

According to the latest Kaspersky global study, one in three companies intends (https://apo-opa.co/3NrZEE7) to integrate EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) or XDR (Extended Detection and Response) into their security operations centers to deliver advanced and reliable protection. This trend highlights a growing recognition among organisations of the critical importance of unified, proactive security solutions to counter increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. With this in mind, Kaspersky updated Kaspersky Next to ensure that businesses are armed with the most effective and all-encompassing cybersecurity technologies and tools.

Kaspersky Next is a flagship B2B product line that provides real-time protection, threat visibility, investigation and response capabilities of EDR and XDR within core offerings: Kaspersky Next Optimum (for small and mid-sized businesses) and Kaspersky Next Expert (for enterprises of all sizes). In its new release, Kaspersky Next Expert has received significant updates related to AI-powered technologies, EDR capabilities and flexible deployment options.
