Next Generation of Kaspersky Private Security Network: Extensive Threat Intelligence Within the Network Walls

Kaspersky Lab is introducing its next generation of Kaspersky Private Security Network, a private version of Kaspersky Security Network that allows enterprises to boost their detection speed with access to real-time global threat intelligence from 80 million sensors, without sharing any data outside their corporate network. The renewed Kaspersky Private Security Network offers additional customization options to meet the demands of enterprise customers. The solution enables businesses to enhance their security intelligence by adding to Kaspersky Private Security Network customized lists of URLs and file reputations – with in-house sources and independent providers.

With 57% of businesses acknowledging that their IT security will be compromised at some point[1], the need for real-time security intelligence is growing rapidly. Cloud-based threat intelligence helps to quickly and more accurately analyze suspicious files (by hashsum or certificate) or URLs, safeguarding businesses from losing a wealth of sensitive data, or having their entire IT infrastructure compromised. Specifically, Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), Kaspersky Lab’s distributed cloud infrastructure, provides businesses with verdicts on new malware specimens in a matter of minutes, based on the data from 80 million sensors all over the world. However, for some businesses, the use of cloud solutions can be limited by regulations and specific network security requirements. Kaspersky Private Security Network solves this problem through a private cloud which contains an internal copy of KSN, incorporating all of its advantages within the corporate IT infrastructure. Up-to-date threat information arrives from KSN by one-way synchronization, meaning that no data is sent from the corporate network to the cloud.
Scalability and flexibility are critical requirements for modern enterprise IT security strategies. Being scalable for networks of up to 500,000 nodes, the new generation of Kaspersky Private Security Network prioritizes the customization of threat intelligence. These features equip IT security departments and SOC teams with powerful automation tools and allow them to speed up threat analysis and incident response times.

The latest generation of Kaspersky Private Security Network has also been specifically enhanced from a management and usability standpoint. The data diode (unidirectional gateway) protocol for newly supported operating system CentOs allows companies operating with no Internet access to collect real-time threat intelligence through the KPSN gateway without a single byte of data leaving the corporate network perimeter. The solution also features a new web interface which makes threat intelligence management better structured and more intuitive.
