Next EDR Optimum
Agile EDR for lean teams — IoC scanning, guided response, adaptive anomaly control.
Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum gives small and mid-sized teams unmatched threat visibility, IoC scanning, rapid investigation, and guided response that adapts to neutralise evasive threats fast. It pairs strong endpoint protection with enhanced controls, patch and encryption management, cloud security, and built-in cyber training — without the resource weight of building those capabilities in-house. Faltrox operates it as a managed service.
Overview
What Next EDR Optimum is
Small and mid-sized businesses are prime targets, and stopping advanced threats takes more than basic endpoint protection — it requires detection, investigation, and rapid response. Building that in-house is complex and resource-heavy for a growing organisation, which is exactly the gap Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum is built to fill: streamlined, adaptable EDR for smaller cybersecurity teams.
It layers essential EDR — IoC and custom-IoC scanning, root-cause analysis, and adaptive anomaly control — on top of enhanced endpoint protection, and adds patch and encryption management, Microsoft 365 and cloud protection, and built-in cyber training for IT staff. It deploys in the cloud for lower total cost of ownership or on-premises for full control, and upgrades smoothly to XDR or MXDR. Faltrox runs it so a lean team gets enterprise-grade response.

How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Auto-Stop
The solution automatically stops millions of common threats before they reach an analyst.
- 02
Auto-Respond
Automated response neutralises a range of evasive threats without human involvement.
- 03
Detect
Semi-automated detection and IoC scanning surface advanced threats for the team to review.
- 04
Investigate
Root-cause analysis reconstructs the incident so the team understands its full scope.
- 05
Respond & Close
Guided response tools help the team act on the incident and close it with confidence.
Capabilities
Key capabilities
Enhanced Anti-Malware
AI-powered endpoint protection with behavioural detection stops attacks before damage is done.
IoC & Custom IoC Scanning
Scan the estate for indicators of compromise, including your own custom IoCs, to find hidden threats.
Root Cause Analysis
Understand the full scope of a threat by tracing how it entered and moved through the environment.
Guided Response
Automated and guided response tools adapt to neutralise emerging and evasive threats quickly.
Adaptive Anomaly Control
Learns normal behaviour and blocks anomalous activity that deviates from it.
Patch & Encryption Management

Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Kaspersky Next EDR Optimum 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
01Who is Optimum for?
Small and mid-sized businesses with lean cybersecurity teams that want to scale detection, investigation, and response without added complexity or hiring. It sits between Foundations (essential EDR) and Expert (enterprise EDR/XDR).
02What does "guided response" actually do?
It provides automated and semi-automated response steps that adapt to the threat, so a smaller team can act on an evasive incident quickly without deep in-house expertise. The solution handles common threats automatically and guides the team through the rest.
03Does it cover Microsoft 365?
Yes — it secures cloud services and Microsoft Office 365 usage to reduce your attack surface and block threats before they cause harm.
04Can we upgrade later?
Yes. Optimum enables a smooth upgrade to essential XDR or MXDR for more sophisticated operations, so you are not locked out of advanced capability as you grow.
05How does Faltrox deliver it?
We deploy Optimum (cloud or on-premises), tune the controls and adaptive anomaly policies, and run the detection and guided-response workflow — so your lean team gets managed EDR rather than another console to staff.
