Kaspersky Lab ZAO gave its Kaspersky Security for Linux Mail Server a few strong tweaks in the security area with an update that bolsters protection against spam and malware spread by e-mail, giving the channel a competitive edge when breaking into growing open-source security niches.
Kaspersky’s refreshed security solution, which serves Linux and FreeBSD mail servers, contains revamped security mechanisms that partners can use to gain ground in competitive open-source markets. One of the biggest improvements is a zero-day exploit and targeted attack shield, dubbed ZETA Shield technology, designed to detect and block unknown and increasingly sophisticated advanced persistent threats (APTs) delivered via e-mail attachments.
The solution touts a new enforced antispam update service (EASUS) technology, which pushes updates from the Kaspersky cloud to the customers in real time. The revamped spam technology addresses what Kaspersky calls the “hit and run” tactic used by cybercriminals to bombard victims with at least half of the spam assault in the first 10 minutes.
