The winner of our TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award, Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security is extremely effective and is certainly one of the best anti-spyware and anti-virus protection products for small businesses. Offering internet security on so many levels, Kaspersky is equipped to protect your employees' workstations, mail servers, file servers and even their smartphones.

Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security provides centralized protection for both Windows and Linux operating systems. These computers may be located within a corporate network or remotely connected. The suite will protect your network from all types of online threats including viruses, spyware, hijacking attempts and email spam.

Certifications:

Kaspersky is Virus Bulletin (VB100) certified. It has achieved the Checkmark Certified and Checkmark Platinum categories offered by West Coast Labs. The security company is ISCA-certified in both cleaning and detection, and it ranks cumulatively in the 80-85 percent range by both AV-Test.org and AV-Comparatives.org.

Detection & Cleaning:

Kaspersky made its name through its anti-virus protection software. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, to know that the anti-virus feature in Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security is top notch. More impressively, it doesn’t noticeably slow down computers while scanning for viruses – even with large files. Once it detects a virus, it is easy to correct the problem. The centrally managed suite lets network administrators more easily manage time and resources.

The suite's iSwift technology helps keep repeat scans at a minimum by skipping over files that have already been scanned throughout your network, saving you time and requiring less hassle.

Kaspersky doesn’t just protect your endpoint computers from viruses. It also protects file servers, email servers and smartphones. The suite is completely equipped to protect a large variety of Windows- and Linux-based solutions, including Microsoft Exchange servers, Novell Netware, Samba Server and even Lotus Notes/Domino mail.

Another great feature of Kaspersky is its proactive approach to catching malware that won’t be detected using traditional virus signatures. Furthermore, Kaspersky scans web traffic in real time without slowing down browsing speed. If for some strange reason an unwanted result occurs or files are damaged, Kaspersky has complete rollback functionality, allowing you to restore files and revert to a previously working state.

Kaspersky takes a proactive approach to dealing with the latest security threats and malicious programs. The software is continually updated with the latest strategies and virus-defeating techniques.

The suite keeps your workstations secure, and it also keeps anything using your network secure. It is able to protect devices such as smartphones, laptops and any other portable device that may access your network.

Mobile phones are increasingly used for a variety of business communications, and they often carry a large amount of important business data. Unfortunately, only a few of them are protected. Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security includes the Mobile Security Enterprise Edition, allowing you to secure smartphones used by your employees. The solution effectively gives you control of the sensitive data on smartphones, whether they’re in the office or overseas.

Mobile Security from Kaspersky protects smartphones from SMS spam, malicious apps and programs, and other attacks specifically designed to compromise business phones. It even includes the ability to block or remotely clean phone data and a SIM watch, effectively providing anti-theft protection for your phones. The impressive integration of smartphone security cannot be understated. The flexible solution protects business smartphone users with automatic updates, anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-theft and even a mobile firewall.

Internet Protection:

Within the Enterprise Space Security Suite is an effective anti-spyware application. It is able to block most pop-ups, can remove unauthorized spyware installations and will even scan your system for potential security threats.

Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security is equipped to protect users from phishing attacks and spam messages. The software utilizes a self-training Bayes algorithm to detect and protect you from a number of annoying and dangerous spam messages.

The business security suite includes advanced protection for email servers including the Microsoft Exchange Server. The software effectively scans all email traffic for viruses, spam and other malware.

Management Features:

Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security features a personal firewall with an IDS (intrusion detection system) and an IPS (intrusion prevention system) to help keep your workstations secure. The firewall can be configured to keep ports open or closed, and these settings can be changed from a centrally managed location for each workstation. The powerful firewall in Kaspersky facilitates a secure flow of information both in and out of your business network.

Additionally, any workstation that experiences a security breach can be quarantined to prevent the computer from infecting other machines on the network.

Ease of Use:

There is a slight learning curve to using Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security. We knew the software was quite capable of performing a wide range of tasks, although the interface isn't completely intuitive. It took some fumbling around and trial and error to learn all the ins and outs of the suite.

For the most part, however, Kaspersky's product is pretty easy to use and simple to manage. Whether you’re running the system on Windows or Linux, your IT administrator should have no trouble using the software and making the most of even the advanced features and functionality.

Installation is a breeze. The installation wizard is straightforward and provides clear explanations of options and available features. Once the installation is complete, the software will automatically check for the newest updates to protect your system.

The security suite is quite flexible when it comes to accommodating a variety of business sizes. The suite can be purchased for 10 to 150 workstations (up to 225 mailboxes) for one or two years, making it a great solution, especially for small business users.

Help & Support:

Kaspersky offers the typical options for end-user support including phone, email, knowledge-base, and forums support. Product documentation is complete and can be a great resource as well. Kaspersky even offers online courses to walk you through using the software and its various components.

Summary:

The Kaspersky Enterprise Space Security suite offers excellent protection at a very reasonable price. It works well with both Windows- and Linux-based systems to keep even the most diverse networks secure. Kaspersky offers one of the most robust internet security suites for businesses and provides a compelling set of features and effective protection. Overall, Kaspersky offers an amazing suite that's an all-in-one business security solution.
