Kaspersky has released a new update to its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, introducing capabilities that further strengthen monitoring, threat detection and investigation across customer environments and give security teams broader context for faster, more confident decisions.
The product now automatically correlates intelligence on leaked credentials with security events in real time. This enables analysts to identify potential account compromise earlier, prioritise incidents more accurately and carry out more targeted threat hunting, helping security teams catch account misuse sooner and reduce the risk of unauthorised access before it escalates into a full-blown attack.
Operational visibility has also been enhanced with new Asset Status Notifications, which alert administrators whenever a protected asset needs attention, making it easier to spot telemetry collection or connectivity issues before they affect monitoring coverage. Administrators can also define expected host limits per tenant, giving service providers greater control over how licenses are distributed and managed across their customer base.
Platform coverage has grown as well, with support added for Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Linux 4.0, extending MDR protection to Linux-based embedded environments.
The latest release also introduces a range of smaller usability and platform enhancements that round out the overall MDR experience. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, Kaspersky remains committed to expanding MDR’s capabilities, sharpening its threat detection and investigation tools, and delivering the innovations organisations need to stay resilient against emerging threats.
