Features:

Support for major data storage platforms

Kaspersky Security for Storage effectively protects Network Attached Storages (NAS) manufactured by EMC, NetApp, Dell, Hitachi, Oracle and IBM, as well as other ICAP-compliant and RPC-compliant storages.

'Always-on' storage anti-malware protection – plus on-demand scanning

Whenever a file is launched or just modified, it's automatically scanned – suspicious objects are treated or deleted and quarantined for further analysis.

Cloud assisted security

Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is a complex distributed infrastructure dedicated to processing cybersecurity-related data streams from millions of voluntary participants around the world in real time. KSN communicates directly with your Kaspersky Security for Storage installation, delivering the highest levels of protection through identifying and responding almost instantaneously to known, unknown and even zero-day threats, while generating the lowest rates of false positives.

Proactive anti-malware technologies

Kaspersky Lab's latest anti-malware engine uses advanced techniques – including heuristic analysis – to deliver a highest levels of anti-malware protection for storage.

Backup of suspicious objects

When a suspicious object is detected, it's placed into quarantine – and, before any actions are performed on the object, an unmodified copy is placed into a backup storage.

Flexible scanning

Kaspersky Lab's flexible scanning processes help you to secure your corporate network and optimize the load on your servers. You can define a wide range of scan settings, including:

• Setting the depth of anti-malware protection
• Specifying which types of file must always be scanned
• Specifying which types of file should always be excluded from scanning
