We deliver unique multi-layered security designed specifically for embedded systems to defend against evolving threats, providing the best protection for all configurations and power levels, with extensive multi-platform support.
Security for varied, dispersed systems regardless of power levels
Windows embedded systems are an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals. These devices tend to operate inside the corporate network, are geographically dispersed, and usually handle critical data, such as credit and debit cards. End-of-life Windows XP is still a standard for many of these systems, as is low-end hardware, while Linux-based systems are on the rise.
Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security is specifically designed to protect these systems against attacks targeting their contents and exploiting their weaknesses.
Challenges of using embedded systems
Resource constraints
Limited system resources mean it’s impossible to use regular endpoint security without severely impacting performance
Specific attack vectors
The purpose-based architectures and operation mode comprise an attack surface that is dissimilar to that of regular computers
Unattended / public use
Embedded devices operate in remote and public spaces, increasing the risk of direct interference and impacting maintenance
Weak connectivity
Low speed and/or erratic connectivity impacts protection and manageability
Data security & compliance requirements
The financial and personal data processed on embedded devices are sensitive and subject to regulations
Software that’s too old – or too new
Many embedded devices use outdated OSs that contain vulnerabilities, and which most modern security solutions don’t support. And protection for new Linux systems is rare
Benefits of specialized protection
Maximum protection for every configuration and power level
Maximized protection
Multi-layer security with opt-in protective layers
Every device gets peak protection that its resources can support
The latest protection against evolving, even unknown cyberthreats
Powerful self-protection mechanisms reduce risks - including direct interference
Minimal implementation impact on business processes
Optimized resource use & compatibility
Reliable protection for modern as well as old, resource-weak systems
Supports Windows and Linux-based systems
Resource constraints don’t impact performance
Remote location and poor connectivity are not a problem
Protects even legacy equipment using obsolete OSs
Compliance & data safety
Upholds data security and industry regulations
Hardened security means fewer incidents
Integrity monitoring further strengthen protection
Support for native Kaspersky or third-party SIEM facilitates accountability and helps with incident investigations
