You have a small team and big pressure.
Learn to cut complexity and transform your security posture from reactive to proactive. Read the guide and inside you'll learn:
The challenge of resource constraints
Modern EDR solutions are cloud-native, and Kaspersky Next is no exception. It features a unified architecture with a single agent and a
single central console,* making it straightforward to use and lightweight on resources. AI and automation tools further
reduce the workload for smaller IT teams.
Kaspersky Next EDR and XDR Optimum are purpose-built for SMBs, offering essential detection and response capabilities without
unnecessary features or costs.
And if you'd rather leave it to external experts, Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum is here to help. We'll handle your security operations
24/7, so you can focus on what matters most.
*A single console with the ability to switch between Pro and Expert views will be available in September 2026.
Endpoint protection (EPP) is the foundation, and Kaspersky Next is built around our own EPP. But here’s the reality: even the best
prevention can’t catch everything. Modern evasive threats often slip past traditional defenses by using legitimate system tools.
That’s why a complete security strategy combines prevention with investigation and response, so you can stop threats that sneak through
and catch what EPP misses.
The good news is that Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum is designed for SMB budgets and small teams. Most actions are performed in a single
alert card complete with guided response actions. And because the solution is cloud-native, total cost of ownership stays under control:
just the price of the license and your time. Even if you prefer on-premises deployment, all you need is a small server to host the
console.
You're right to think about skills: EDR and XDR do require new expertise. But you don't need to hire it. You can build it.
The Kaspersky Next Optimum offering is designed with that in mind. It includes response recommendations and practical training that help
your IT team develop hands-on detection and response capabilities, turning generalists into security-minded assets.
If building skills in-house isn't your current priority, Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum offers the same protection but handled by our
experts, 24/7, with no extra headcount needed.
Kaspersky Next addresses this by integrating practical security awareness training directly into the solution. Employees learn to
recognize suspicious messages and report potential phishing attempts quickly.
Crucially, if an employee does click a phishing link, the system automatically enrolls them in targeted refresher training. This creates
a continuous feedback loop that turns mistakes into learning opportunities, helping you focus coaching efforts on the individuals who
need it most.
The challenge of complex infrastructure
Modern businesses no longer operate within a strict corporate perimeter. Employees work with collaborative documents, virtual
whiteboards, and cloud storage; and much of this activity takes place outside traditional monitoring.
The Kaspersky Next offering helps secure this environment. It provides visibility into endpoint activity and transparency when users
interact with external apps, so you have no blind spots just because your team works in the cloud.
The offering provides flexible deployment options: on-prem, cloud, mixed, or air-gapped networks. You can choose what fits your
infrastructure. And since it deploys easily with no on-premises servers to maintain (if you choose cloud), it fits naturally into
companies that have already embraced cloud tools.
Cyber adversaries exploit zero-days before patches exist and weaponize supply chains to bypass traditional perimeters. The following case studies illustrate how Kaspersky Next effectively defends against such advancing threats.
Operation ForumTroll
A sophisticated campaign exploited a Google Chrome zero-day.
With Kaspersky Next detection and protection technologies,
Kaspersky GReAT experts exposed the vulnerability and enabled developers at Google to address and fix the issue.
Dante spyware
Further investigation into Operation ForumTroll revealed links to Dante, a commercial spyware platform.
Code similarities confirm that the campaign was carried out using the same toolset that comes with the Dante spyware.
Operation SyncHole
Cyberattacks are no longer just breaking through your defenses – they're anticipating behavior. In Operation SyncHole, the Lazarus Group compromised trusted websites that its targets were likely to visit. With Kaspersky Next, analysts were able to solve the problem with accurate detection and quick response.
Notepad++ supply chain attack
Attackers hijacked the Notepad++ update infrastructure and used it to deliver malware disguised as legitimate updates from a trusted
tool.
With the help of Kaspersky Next, the attack was successfully detected, investigated and exposed.

You’re operating at scale under constant pressure. APTs and AI-powered threats are accelerating, hybrid ecosystems are expanding, and SOC teams are drowning in alerts and disconnected tools. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Integrated security that reduces operational drag and strengthens resilience is achievable. Learn to cut complexity and scale protection effectively. Our new guide will show you how to:
The challenge of resource constraints
It’s a systemic problem that leads to errors, increased risk, and burnout. Kaspersky Next Expert addresses this by enhancing
AI throughout the detection and investigation workflow,* not as a replacement for analyst judgment, but as a force
multiplier.
The platform includes AI-driven capabilities designed to reduce manual effort and streamline various processes:
Automated detection of DLL hijacking and compromised user accounts, highlighting attack patterns that typically require deep manual
analysis.
AI-generated incident summaries that provide a plain-language account of what happened, from initial vector to attacker actions,
so analysts can understand an incident without combing through raw event logs.
Natural language query generation for threat hunting: analysts describe what they’re looking for in plain text, and the system
translates that into a structured query compatible with the telemetry database.
It helps teams focus their attention where it matters most, with high-fidelity detections and tools that reduce cognitive load.
*Certain AI features require a dedicated license and integration with an LLM provider
Focusing only on the license cost often hides the real expense of security: integration work, ongoing maintenance and the operational
effort needed to manage multiple tools.
A consolidated platform reduces overlapping licenses, minimizes integration complexity and cuts the time required to maintain the
environment. Automated workflows further reduce manual effort, helping control staffing costs. Kaspersky’s Open Single Management
Platform (OSMP) provides unified security visibility and reduces system requirements for larger installations by up to 30% for EDR and
up to 60% for XDR.*
* Compared to previous versions of Kaspersky Next Expert solutions
Kaspersky Next Expert solutions include established response processes to improve MTTR and minimize errors in frequent scenarios by leveraging playbooks and by coordinating collaborative workflows. Playbooks can be tailored to your specific business and risk profile, and can be set to launch manually or on auto-pilot once a specific alert is detected. This reduces the time between threat detection and neutralization and minimizes manual effort during response.
Kaspersky Next addresses this by integrating practical security awareness training directly into the solution. Employees learn to
recognize suspicious messages and report potential phishing attempts quickly.
Crucially, if an employee does click a phishing link, the system automatically enrolls them in targeted refresher training. This creates
a continuous feedback loop that turns mistakes into learning opportunities, helping you focus coaching efforts on the individuals who
need it most.
The challenge of complex infrastructure
Navigating disparate tools can easily create blind spots, causing delayed investigation and response.
Kaspersky’s Open Single Management Platform powers both Kaspersky Next EDR Expert and XDR Expert, enabling seamless interaction across
both Kaspersky and third-party technologies, consolidating endpoint telemetry and extending visibility across network, cloud and other
sources.
By unifying detection, investigation and response in a single environment, organizations reduce data silos and improve coordination
without rebuilding their stack.
