Kaspersky Lab Extends Real-time Data Protection to HDS NAS

3000 and 4000 models

Kaspersky Lab ZAO, in endpoint protection solutions, has joined the Hitachi Technology Alliance Program, a Hitachi Data Systems Corp.‘s program that seeks to foster synergistic combinations of partner technology with Hitachi technology to create best-of-breed solutions.

As a first step in this partnership, the companies have certified and validated the Kaspersky Security for Storage solution for Hitachi NAS Platform 3000 and 4000 storage systems, resulting in a higher level of anti-malware protection and mitigation against cyber threats.

Increasingly, organizations are overwhelmed by the exponential growth of structured and unstructured data; the pressure to move toward virtualization; and the complexities of protecting corporate data in on- and off-premise data center locations. Lethal malware can spread throughout an organization at terrifying speed, capitalizing on the interoperability of modern networks. In a growing threat landscape, a single infected file unknowingly placed into storage can expose every node on the network to immediate risk.

Kaspersky Security for Storage, a high-performance, server-side solution, provides robust, scalable ‘always-on’ protection and fault tolerance for valuable and sensitive corporate data. Kaspersky Lab’s powerful anti-malware engine scans every file launched or modified for all forms of malware, including viruses, worms and Trojans. Advanced heuristic analysis identifies new and unknown threats. If malware is detected, the solution removes all malicious code from infected files, deletes the files in question, or quarantines them for further analysis. Kaspersky Security for Storage includes a central administration tool, the Kaspersky Security Center, which enables remote installation and configuration support.

A storage system without anti-malware protection is a direct threat to the security of the corporate IT infrastructure. It is imperative that organizations provide protection against cyber-threats on every node where data is stored and processed, not only on workstations. We are glad to collaborate with Hitachi Data Systems to ensure its high-performance Hitachi NAS Platform, 3000 and 4000 series, storage systems are among those protected by our technologies,” said Nikita Shvetsov, CTO, Kaspersky Lab.

Kaspersky Lab builds its products, like its Security for Storage solution, to not only address today’s security problems, but also to anticipate and prevent tomorrow’s. This closely aligns with our own HDS objective to help our partners and customers adapt, innovate and win amidst changing circumstances with the power of information. We are happy to have Kaspersky Lab as part of our Hitachi Technology Alliance Program,” commented Neil Colstad, VP, ISV alliances and verticals, HDS.
