Kaspersky Next Optimum provides scalable Security Modules for seamless protection

Kaspersky has introduced new Security Modules for Kaspersky Next Optimum to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) address evolving cybersecurity threats while simplifying security management. According to a survey by Kaspersky’s internal research center, phishing (20%) and software-vulnerability exploits (17%) were the most common external incidents affecting SMBs over the past year. Meanwhile, compatibility and integration issues (26%) and the need to consolidate multiple security products (23%) were the leading reasons for switching cybersecurity vendors.

 The new modular approach allows businesses to strengthen specific risk areas without replacing their existing technology infrastructure. The modules include Security Awareness to reduce phishing and human-error risks; Email Security to protect communications from email-borne threats; Workload Security for hybrid-cloud environments; Threat Lookup & Analysis to support investigations and incident response; and Vulnerability Management to identify and address security weaknesses.

 Additionally, Kaspersky Next expands its capabilities with simulated phishing campaigns and compromised-credential insights. Phishing simulations, previously available only in advanced solutions, are now included in Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations, enabling organizations to assess employee awareness and identify vulnerabilities. Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum also introduces expert-driven threat hunting powered by Digital Footprint Intelligence to identify potential account compromises earlier.
Further improvements include mobile- and tablet-optimized management capabilities, enhanced Telegram incident notifications, and the introduction of Pro View Console, allowing businesses to start with simplified security management and transition to the more advanced Expert View Console as their needs evolve.

 Overall, these enhancements offer SMBs flexible, scalable and integrated cybersecurity capabilities tailored to their changing operational needs.

“In today’s rapidly‑growing SMB environment, the attack surface expands faster than security budgets and resources. Kaspersky Next Optimum’s Security Modules let organizations reinforce exactly the risk areas that matter, whether it’s phishing awareness or email protection, without redesigning the existing technology stack or interrupting daily operations. This flexibility eliminates the traditional cost and complexity barriers to reliable protection for small and medium‑sized businesses,” – comments Ilya Markelov, Head of Unified Platform Product Line at Kaspersky.
