Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business provides endpoint protection for small and medium-sized businesses. It uses machine learning and threat intelligence to address fileless threats, exploits, and rootkits, alongside controls for applications, web access, devices, ransomware, vulnerabilities, patches, and encryption. Kaspersky Security Center offers MMC, web, and cloud consoles for configuring, deploying, updating, and managing protection. Organizations can deploy it in cloud, on-premise, hybrid, or air-gapped environments, and the listed supported systems include Windows, Windows Server, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. Windows protection includes AES-256 encryption, Microsoft BitLocker management, and encryption with FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria EAL2+ certification. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows can remotely remove files and folders according to scheduled tasks or timeouts, even when devices are offline. One Security Center server installation can manage up to 100,000 physical, virtual, and cloud-based endpoints. Pricing is available on request; business products are sold through partners. Kaspersky says Select has evolved into Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations and related Next solutions.
