6. Options for Virtual Protection
Option 1 Option 2 Option 3
No Protection Agent-based Agentless
PAGE 6

7. No Protection – Not an Option
Virtual Infection and spread
Virtual eavesdropping
Target of cybercriminals
Malware can survive “tear-down”
of non-persistent machines
“ A single compromised virtual
machine impacts the entire virtual
infrastructure.

8. Agent-based Protection
Traditional Protection methods applied to VM
AV-Storm
Redundant anti-malware and
signature files AV AV
Instant On Gap
VM’s in Motion AV AV
Reduced consolidation ratios
AV AV

9. Agentless Protection
Kaspersky Security for virtualization
Works with VMware’s vShield
Endpoint
Anti-malware functions offloaded
Managed component of
Kaspersky
Security Center 9.0

Operating System

13. Advantages of Agentless Approach
CPU
No AV Storm
Memory savings
KES8: from 40MB up to 200 MB
Storage savings
Disk space and I/O (no Update Storm)
No impact on networking
Updates, events, etc. (travel inside the host)

14. Advantages and benefits
VM “density”
On unprotected ESXi host – 50 VMs
With Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8.0 – 12-18 VMs
With Kaspersky Security for Virtualization – 30-35 VMs
Persistent protection
New systems
Powered on / outdated machines
Easy support
Troubleshooting only one VM
No issues with incompatible software
Protected OS (hard to break into KSV appliance)

15. Protection for infrastructures of any size and complexity
Simplified Virtual Physical Mobile
Management Protection Protection Protection
Unified Under a Immediate Real Time Protects Lost
“Single-Pane” Protection Protection Devices
Solid Policy High Performance Powerful Controls Android,
Enforcement BlackBerry,
Maximized Broad Platform Windows, Symbian
Intuitive Density Support
Robust Reporting Virtual Aware
PAGE 15

16. Existing agentless offerings can be limited
Multiple Administrative Consoles (different for virtual and
physical infrastructures)
Low detection rates
Complex and long technical support procedure
PAGE 16

17. Recommendations
Don’t underestimate manageability
Choose unified solutions to protect both physical and virtual
environment
Find the right balance of security and performance
Combine «agent-based» and «agentless» protection methods
Don’t cherish illusions that virtual environments are more secure
than physical ones
PAGE 17

18. Get the right balance with Kaspersky
Kaspersky Security for Virtualization
provides agentless anti-malware
security for virtual machines, without
compromising performance.
Get the right balance with Kaspersky.
