"One of the most pressing issues facing the enterprise today is endpoint security," said Christian Christiansen, IDC's VP of security products and services. "As endpoints become more dispersed, worker mobility will remain a productivity boon and a security burden. One solution is a single security policy that is independent of device type, operating system, and network. To implement this approach, enterprises should consider Kaspersky Open Space Security for its flexibility and proven protection."
As part of the new Kaspersky OpenSpace multi-tiered security, the company is complementing both its gateway and mail server protection with the introduction of its newest generation of products that includes Kaspersky Mobile Security for smart devices.
"Today's corporate computing needs are outgrowing traditional malware defenses, making security beyond the perimeter a major issue on how to best protect the network and accommodate the growth of mobile workers," said Steve Orenberg, president, Kaspersky Lab, Inc. "Kaspersky Open Space Security answers that challenge, providing true 'follow me' security to allow any corporate worker to feel secure working from any location on any computing device."
With laptops making up a growing percentage of corporate workstation purchases, along with the seemingly daily introduction of powerful new PDAs and smartphones, corporate computing has crossed over into undefined open space beyond the corporate firewall.
