In a joint paper titled “Mitigating Cloud Migration Difficulties with Robust Hybrid Cloud and Container Security,” Kaspersky and ISG found that nearly 85% of organizations surveyed intend to expand their use of cloud services over the next five years. This reflects the growing trend among enterprises to adopt cloud platforms, along with a significant increase in the adoption of containerized development models. The study revealed that approximately 81% of participants noticed improvements in resource efficiency due to the use of containers, while approximately 70% reported that containers facilitate seamless integration with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices.
In response to these evolving needs, Kaspersky launched its Kaspersky Cloud Workload Security ecosystem, which consists of two products: Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security and Kaspersky Container Security. The solution is designed to address security risks in cloud workloads, with multi-layered threat protection that proactively defends against a wide range of cyber threats, including malware, phishing, and rogue containers during runtime. The ecosystem integrates seamlessly with other Kaspersky solutions, ensuring comprehensive cybersecurity coverage.
The increasing adoption of hybrid cloud environments and containerized development models requires robust security solutions that can protect every process within complex infrastructures. Kaspersky's new security ecosystem provides cost-efficient and customizable out-of-the-box security, allowing customers to choose the capabilities needed to protect their workloads, whether physical, virtual or contained, regardless of the deployment location (private, public or… Special) or hybrid clouds). Additionally, the ecosystem supports ongoing regulatory compliance for cloud infrastructures.
One of the main advantages of Kaspersky Cloud Workload Security is its ability to perform faster and more efficient security checks, automate information security compliance checks, and predict when products will be released to market. Internal tests conducted by Kaspersky have shown that the ecosystem technology can save up to 30% of virtualization hardware resources when protecting private clouds, improving performance without harming cluster performance.
“At Kaspersky, we recognize the critical importance of securing cloud workloads in today's dynamic threat landscape. With the introduction of Kaspersky Cloud Workload Security, we are proud to offer a solution that provides unparalleled protection and performance to our valued customers. By providing a comprehensive solution,” commented Timofey Titkov, Head of Security Product Line. Cloud and Networking at Kaspersky, saying: “Our cost-effective, cloud-based solutions aim to enable organizations to strengthen their cloud security posture, protect critical assets, and maintain regulatory compliance effortlessly.”
The introduction of the Kaspersky Cloud Workload Security ecosystem represents an important step in addressing the cybersecurity challenges that businesses face in an era of escalating cyber threats and rapid digital transformation.
