Early in Q4 2009 Kaspersky, a valued partner of Web-Kong.com, released several amazing enhancements to its Small Business Security and AntiVirus product line. Kaspersky Labs has named these upgrades "R2" (or canonically "Release 2").

All product upgrades are free for small businesses with existing Kaspersky licenses, a long honored tradition by Kaspersky exemplifying their commitment to customers.

Kaspersky R2 enhancements include:

• Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 - A newly renovated management console that offers more visibility and control than ever before over all facets of the network, built to streamline time-consuming policy management tasks. This software is Microsoft-certified to be fully compatible with Windows 7.
  
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations 6.0 Release 2 - The latest malware detection technology to block and remove threats targeting endpoints. This software is also Microsoft-certified to be fully compatible with Windows 7.
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Fileservers 6.0 Release 2 - Advanced proactive and reactive protection for servers offering significant performance enhancements and compatibility with new Windows server platforms.

Beyond easy installation, Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 comes with additional new features to help IT administrators manage a more secure and productive network:

• A completely redesigned graphic interface for a much more intuitive and easier management experience, fewer clicks to complete tasks, and customized notifications for maintenance, user actions, or security incidents.
• Management tools for automating protection decisions - such as updating the antivirus database, monitoring system status, and initializing responses to critical events.
• Greater control of peripheral devices, such as removable storage media, enabling these to be automatically blocked across the network, restricted by category, or permitted only for certain users, dramatically reducing the threat of data loss or infection from within the firewall.
• Improved reporting, included pre-defined or customizable formats delivered via the Web, PDF, XML, or within a database for direct third-party access.
• SNMP-enabled for monitoring by network operation center applications, and integration with Microsoft NAP for network policy enforcement.

By reducing the burden of implementation and day-to-day management, Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0 minimizes operational impact across the organization and lets you get back to business.
