Installation of Kaspersky Internet Security is straightforward, with safe default options. The program’s modern, tiled interface makes all essential features easily accessible from the home page. In our functionality check, the root folders of USB external drives were automatically scanned on connection, and Kaspersky’s highly sensitive on-access protection proactively deleted malware on a network share as soon as we opened it in Windows File Explorer. Advanced users will find a wide range of configuration options in the settings.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business (KESB) Select is a tier of Kaspersky’s Endpoint Security for Business product line. It is aimed at medium-sized businesses and larger enterprises. The product provides a choice of either a server-based or a cloud-based console to manage the endpoint protection software.
