As mentioned in Part 1, the era of conventional endpoint security will soon end. The trend for IT security is using endpoint protection platforms (EPPs) that deliver integrated security technologies, featuring state-of-the-art data protection and threat prevention. According to Kaspersky Labs, below are the second five of ten advantages of their integrated platform solution.

Common Structure, Look and Feel – Faster, Easier Reporting

Analysis will be delivered with faster and easier reporting. The same terminology and structure is used across report templates. Incident management will also be simplified, allowing easier recognition of similar incidents across different IT infrastructure nodes, such as malware and policy breaches.

A Clearer, Deeper View Into Data – Integrated Dashboards and Reporting

Only a single pane of glass is needed for all endpoint security components, a dashboard providing the most important information. Streamlined interdependent reports to analyze and collect data, providing easier visibility into protection status and incidents, including malware detection and data encryption status. Also available is executive reporting, a core component of an IT security administrator’s responsibilities.

Unified License Management and Control – Drive Efficiency, Take Control

There will be no need to refer to different license control tools to monitor and check status. Costs will be reduced through flexible distribution across a changing IT environment, such as migrating from traditional PCs and notebooks to mobile devices with concurrent functionality. Kaspersky’s Endpoint Protection Platform will also allow IT staff to increase security functionality according to company needs.

Single Code Base, Built In-House, Drives Deeper Integration

Beneficial features include a single management server and administration console, single endpoint client architecture, a single policies and unified tasks, synergy effect of integrated functionality, and integrated dashboards and reporting.

Integrated Purchase Model – All the Functionality You Need In a Single Purchase

One purchase will cover all security needs and functions, and one license will activate everything. Kaspersky users can acquire levels of integrated functionality, addressing different customer needs in one license package.
