Virtualization is all about maximizing your investment through optimizing your IT

partly defeated your protection is compromising your productivity.

but servers and particularly virtual networks.

Network-level protection. Kaspersky technology provides powerful protection for network traffic on your
hypervisor, through a combination of Intrusion Prevention (IPS) and Intrusion Detection (IDS) Systems.
Kaspersky is the first security vendor to provide this critical network-level functionality, supporting the latest
VMware vCloud Networking and Security technology.
File-level anti-malware protection. Kasperskys award-winning anti-malware engine provides automatic realtime, agentless protection for every active virtual machine, on-access and on-demand.
Cloud-assisted protection from zero-day threats. The cloud-based global Kaspersky Security Network
(KSN) identifies and protects against new and suspected threats, even zero-day threats, with a response time
as low as 0.02 seconds.
Shared Cache. Files are scanned just once before being shared by any virtual machine, rather than separately
by each individual machine accessing them. This approach delivers clear efficiency savings and enhanced
performance without compromising protection.
Centralized Management Console. Kaspersky Security Center provides a single-pane-of-glass view of all
protected devices; virtual, physical and mobile. The protection status of each endpoint can assessed at a
glance, and any remedial action swiftly undertaken from a central point.
Extremely easy to deploy and manage. Security is delivered as a virtual appliance, available to every virtual
machine on the physical server. Users simply create their new virtual machine and copy over a one-file image.
Different security settings can easily be applied to different groups of virtual machines.
