Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content and threat management solutions announced the release of the second version of Kaspersky Small Office Security (KSOS 2), a solution specially designed in response to the SOS cry from small businesses of five users and above that may not have a dedicated IT personnel but need a high level of customizable security.
This updated solution is designed for easy-to-use without any training required for users.
It is also a budget solution for companies with low requirement for system resources.
Why SoHos need KSOS
According to research done by B2B International in collaboration with Kaspersky Lab, 41% companies surveyed globally are not prepared for cyber-threats and 31% of its IT specialists are not fully aware of today’s Trojans.
This survey serves as a wake up call for small businesses in Malaysia as the sector makes up more than 98% of businesses in Malaysia and in 2011 small businesses contributed about 31% to GDP and 56% to the workforce.
According to Kaspersky Lab SEA Channel Sales Director, Mr Jimmy Fong there has been a disconnect in products available for small businesses and the needs, challenges and resources within these companies themselves which makes the introduction of Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 timely.
Kaspersky Small Office Security 2’s Wider Distribution
“We are making it easier for small businesses to get Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 by widening our distribution channel through the B2B channel, as small businesses in this region usually purchase based on recommendation and advice from distributors. The first edition was only offered online, a model that worked well in Europe and the United States, but was not as popular in the South East Asian region. With the new distribution model we expect to see healthy demand for the Kaspersky Small Office Security 2,” Mr Fong detailed.
What’s New in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2
Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 delivers award-winning antivirus and Internet security adding server protection, back-up, encryption, web-use policy and password management for critical small business safety. The solution protects servers and workstations running on Windows OS, which is the operating system of choice for many small businesses.
