Kaspersky Lab has announced a new version of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server application, which has been developed to protect high performance corporate servers from cyber threats including cryptomalware, also known as ransomware.

Once infected, Cryptomalware can encrypt an entire network within minutes. This can bring entire business operations to a halt and leave a business without the ability to restore its critical data.

Michael Canavan, Vice President, Sales Engineering, Kaspersky Lab North America, said: “As the complexity of corporate IT infrastructure increases, the need for reliable, multi-layered cybersecurity, which protects business servers, also grows. The threat of ransomware is currently one of the most pressing IT security issues in the business world. Kaspersky’s Anti-Cryptor technology is unparalleled on the market, making the new version of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server a must-have for businesses of all sizes.”

Appropriate dedicated server security helps to protect critical corporate data and eliminate the danger of malware penetrating the backup copies of files. With this in mind, Kaspersky Lab has updated its security application for servers, using all of its expertise and intelligence to provide customers with reliable security against the latest malware threats.

To help protect businesses from unknown and advanced threats, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server includes Application Startup Control. This provides customers with unprecedented security, using configured rules to allow or block the startup of executable files, scripts, and installation packages, or the loading of program modules onto servers.
