Seeking to erase the seams among physical, virtual, and cloud-based assets that can render hybrid cloud environments vulnerable to attack, software vendor Kaspersky Lab has introduced a new solution called Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security designed to let administrators control both on-premises infrastructure and resources in the Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure public clouds through a single, fully integrated console.

Equipped with exploit prevention, vulnerability assessment, automated patch management, and machine learning-assisted runtime protection functionality, among other features, the new system strives to improve security effectiveness by eliminating use of different management panels for each element of a hybrid cloud environment.

“Keeping in mind how much valuable data is now stored in the cloud, it is critical for businesses to ensure they have holistic protection and visibility across all cloud platforms,” said Vitaly Mzokov, solution business lead for Kaspersky Lab, in prepared remarks. “Our philosophy is to create a well-balanced blend of best-of-breed protection, resource efficiency, and enterprise-level orchestration capabilities for public and private cloud environments. We are sure that this combination will provide our customers with a secure migration to Amazon and Microsoft Azure cloud within their digital transformation projects.”
