Endpoint SecurityNext EDR Foundations
Best-in-class endpoint protection with essential EDR built in.
Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations delivers powerful, ML-based endpoint protection with built-in EDR — root cause analysis, flexible security controls, and cloud discovery — from a single console deployable in the cloud or on-premises. It is the bedrock tier of the Kaspersky Next line, designed for businesses of any size. Faltrox licenses, deploys, and operates it so you get the protection without the console overhead.
Overview
What Next EDR Foundations is
Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations is the entry tier of the Kaspersky Next product line, combining decade-proven endpoint protection with the essential EDR tools most organisations actually need: root-cause analysis, security controls, and cloud discovery. Effective workstation protection now takes more than antivirus — businesses need to automate routine tasks, stop emerging threats, and manage everything from one place without in-house security expertise.
It covers Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations and servers, with anti-ransomware and anti-malware, file/web/mail threat protection, automated vulnerability scanning, and application, web, and device controls. A single management console — cloud-based or on-premises — gives administrators real-time control, and the whole line scales up to Optimum and Expert as needs grow. Faltrox runs the console and acts on what it surfaces.

File, Web & Mail Threats
Robust file, web, and mail threat protection covers the common infection vectors.
Vulnerable Software
Automated vulnerability scanning flags outdated software before it becomes an entry point.
Risky User Activity
Application, web, and device controls for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux rein in risk.
Cloud Usage
Cloud discovery surfaces shadow cloud services and security gaps across the network.
How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Deploy
Stand up a single management console in the cloud or on-premises for centralised, real-time control of every endpoint.
- 02
Protect
ML-based anti-malware, anti-ransomware, and file/web/mail protection stop known and unknown threats automatically.
- 03
Control
Application, web, and device controls plus vulnerability scanning reduce the attack surface across the estate.
- 04
Detect
Built-in EDR collects and analyses endpoint data, with root-cause analysis giving a visual threat pathway.
- 05
Respond
Administrators handle basic incident response from the console, with cloud discovery and vulnerability assessment surfacing gaps.
Capabilities
Key capabilities
ML Anti-Malware & Anti-Ransomware
Predictive algorithms, neural networks, and expert models detect known and unknown malware with proven accuracy.
Root Cause Analysis
A visual threat pathway shows how an attack unfolded across the network, so investigation starts from evidence.
Security Controls
Application, web, and device controls for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux prevent risky user activity.
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated scanning flags outdated, vulnerable software so it can be patched before exploitation.
Cloud Discovery
Monitors cloud usage across the organisation to surface shadow IT and reduce the attack surface.
Simulated Phishing
Built-in simulated phishing campaigns test and improve employee resilience to social engineering.
Flexible Deployment
Choose a vendor-run cloud console to cut upfront cost, or on-premises for complete control.
Single Console
Pro or Expert console views give centralised, real-time monitoring and basic incident response in one place.
Works with
Part of the platform
Kaspersky products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01How is Foundations different from the Optimum and Expert tiers?
Foundations is the entry tier — strong endpoint protection with essential EDR (root cause analysis, controls, cloud discovery). Optimum adds IoC scanning, guided response, and adaptive anomaly control for lean teams; Expert adds forensic depth, threat hunting, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping for enterprises. You can move up the tiers as needs grow.
02Cloud or on-premises?
Both. The cloud-based console cuts upfront cost and maintenance and is the default; on-premises deployment is available where you need complete control or strict data residency. Faltrox scopes which fits your environment.
03What platforms does it protect?
Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations and servers, with the security controls extending to iOS and Android devices as well.
04Do we need in-house security expertise to run it?
It is designed to reduce that need through automation and a simple console — and Faltrox operates it for you regardless, acting on the alerts and root-cause findings so you do not staff a security console.
05What does Faltrox handle?
We license, deploy, and tune Foundations to your environment, run the console, and act on detections and vulnerability findings — delivering it as a managed service rather than a product you operate.
