Kaspersky Lab releases Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition

Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition is a powerful and reliable solution for protecting corporate mobile users from malicious programs, SMS spam and Internet attacks that target mobile platforms. It also provides protection for confidential data stored on a smartphone should the device be lost or stolen.

Why is it necessary to protect corporate smartphones? Mission-critical business data can be damaged or stolen by malware written especially for smartphones. A smartphone can fall victim to Internet attacks when downloading information from the Internet. Infected mobile devices can be used to penetrate the network perimeter of a corporate IT system. The loss or theft of a smartphone means that sensitive corporate information is in the hands of a stranger. In addition, SMS spam causes much inconvenience.

Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition 7.0 is designed to help companies mitigate those risks. It combines Kaspersky Lab’s latest technologies for mobile platforms with extensive experience in combating malware, hacker attacks and spam. The solution provides comprehensive protection for corporate smartphones and the data stored on them. Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition integrates closely with Kaspersky Administration Kit, giving the system administrator centralized control over high-level protection on any network node, be it a file server, workstation or mobile device.

Easy to deploy

Kaspersky Mobile Security Enterprise Edition can be installed from one point by a single system administrator regardless of the number of mobile device users in an organization, and even if those users are located in branch offices or abroad on business trips. Installation can be performed in two ways: via a PC using Microsoft ActiveSync or Nokia PC Suite, or via SMS by sending a link to the package and the configuration from the Administration Console using GSM Modem.

Flexible administration

In the event of a virus epidemic or simply the threat of a virus infection, the system administrator can change the mobile device security parameters for all users, or for a specific group. Some or all changes made to the settings by users can be blocked and the system administrator’s settings enforced in a security policy.

Complete control

Whether the user is in the office or overseas, you always have full control over their mobile device’s security. When a device has Internet access, it automatically establishes a connection with the server, receives updates and applies any new policies enforced by the system administrator.

The system administrator can receive information about any mobile device at any time. This includes the date of the most recent connection to Kaspersky Administration Kit, the status of antivirus and anti-spam protection, as well as reports from the Anti-Theft and Firewall modules.

Functions

Anti-Theft protection. To protect corporate data stored on a smartphone if it is lost or stolen, a user or system administrator can block the smartphone or delete files, messages, and the list of contacts remotely. The user can also find out who the “new owner” of the lost device is.

SMS Block. If a smartphone is lost, the user can send a “hidden SMS message” to the original SIM card. Access to the smartphone will be blocked until a pre-set password is entered.
SMS Clean. This function is similar to the SMS Block feature, but instead of blocking the smartphone it cleans the device’s memory.
SIM Watch. If a smartphone is stolen, the “new owner” will most likely immediately replace the original SIM card. The SIM Watch function will prevent the “new owner” from accessing any personal data without the initial SIM card inserted in the device. If the initial SIM card is replaced with a new one, the SMS Watch function will send the original user the new telephone number of the device without the “new owner’s” knowledge.

Antivirus protection. Kaspersky Mobile Security provides real-time anti-malware scanning of all incoming files and connections to keep you free of malicious programs. The system administrator can pre-set the best time for antivirus scanning and it will be performed automatically. If an infected object is detected and cannot be disinfected, it is stored in the quarantine folder or deleted.

Firewall. The system administrator can select one of the integrated IP firewall protection levels. Depending on the level selected, one or more restrictions will be applied to provide user security.

Anti-Spam for SMS. Telephone numbers of known spam sources, sender names, unwanted words or phrases can be added to a blacklist to ensure that such messages are always blocked. The user can also add addresses from the contact list to a whitelist.

Automatic updates. Antivirus databases are updated automatically at intervals set by the system administrator. Updates are available via WAP/HTTP (GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, etc.) or via a PC.
