Multi-layered Protection
for Any Virtualization

While virtualization can improve IT agility and efficiency, italso adds more layers of technology. Maintaining full visibility
for each layer – and how they interact – can be difficult. And
more layers generally means more ‘attack surfaces’, increasing
the ways in which cybercriminals can attack your business.

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization adds powerful multilayered protection with the lightest of resource footprints,
resulting in a significantly higher machine density than
traditional anti-malware solutions can deliver. So you caneffectively protect your systems and sensitive corporate
data, while maintaining high consolidation ratios and qualityof service for your users.

Together, Nutanix and Kaspersky Lab deliver a secure, scalable
compute and storage solution for virtualized applications. Virtual
servers and desktops running on Nutanix nodes are protectedby powerful Kaspersky Security for Virtualization solution, while
preserving all the performance benefits that virtualization brings.
It’s a winning combination for an optimized environment.

Security That Works
Closely With Your IT

SERVERVIRTUALIZATION

A Security Virtual Machine (SVM) on each host scans all VMs
centrally, while a powerful but lightweight agent deployedon each VM allows advanced security features, including
anti-cryptor, memory and processes protection, application,device and web controls, anti-malware protection for IM, mailand web, plus advanced heuristics together with Automatic
Exploit Prevention, to be activated.

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent andAgentless. Two approaches in one solution, delivering
powerful protection combined with efficient performancefor your virtual environment.

In agentless configuration, Kaspersky Security for Virtualization
integrates natively with VMware NSX. With no additional
agent required on each VM, systems impact on virtual
platform performance is near-zero, administration isreduced, and each VM is protected instantaneously.
Kaspersky Security for Virtualization supports and integrates
with most popular virtualization platforms, including
VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and KVM. Yourbusiness critical infrastructure benefits from optimized
performance that fully exploits your hypervisor’s own coretechnologies – complementing and enhancing security in,for example, VMware Horizon and Citrix XenDesktop VDI
environments.

For virtualized environments, maintaining security without
affecting performance is critical. Kaspersky Security for
Virtualization uses patented technologies to strengthen
the protection of VDI and server platforms at individual
VM (virtual machine) level, with minimal impact onperformance. Kaspersky’s award-winning anti-malware
engine provides automatic, real-time protection for every
VM on most popular virtualization platforms including
VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V.
