Kaspersky
Embedded
Systems Security

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.

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Many embedded devices use outdated OSs that contain vulnerabilities, and which most modern security solutions don’t support.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
