XDR & Advanced Threat ProtectionNext XDR Optimum
Extended detection and response sized for a small team’s budget and skills.
Kaspersky Next XDR Optimum extends detection and response beyond the endpoint for small and mid-sized businesses with an established IT infrastructure and a reasonable security budget. It automates routine tasks so a lean team can focus on what matters, integrating into your existing infrastructure with no new system components. Faltrox operates it as a managed service.
Overview
What Next XDR Optimum is
Cyberthreats against smaller businesses are growing more sophisticated — attackers exploit legitimate system tools and social engineering to evade detection — while tight budgets and a shortage of skilled staff make defence harder. Kaspersky Next XDR Optimum answers that with advanced yet easy-to-use extended detection and response designed for smaller security teams.
It builds on strong ML-based endpoint protection and adds behavioural detection, alert aggregation, cloud sandbox, root-cause analysis, and a range of automated and guided response actions. Cloud sandbox lets you check a suspicious sample’s reputation in seconds and reuse the data for future IoC scans, and cloud security controls shadow IT across Microsoft 365. It deploys in the cloud for lower cost or on-premises for control, and upgrades to Expert or MXDR. Faltrox runs it so the team gets XDR outcomes without the overhead.
Coverage
What it protects
The platforms, threats, and surfaces this product is built to defend.
Endpoints
Strong ML-based endpoint protection anchors extended detection across the estate.
Evasive Threats
Behavioural detection catches attackers abusing legitimate tools to avoid signature detection.
Suspicious Files
Cloud Sandbox checks a sample’s reputation in seconds and feeds the result into future scans.
Shadow IT & Microsoft 365
Cloud security surfaces unauthorised services and sensitive data stored in Microsoft 365 apps.
Vulnerabilities & Patches
Centralised vulnerability, patch, and encryption management reduce the attack surface.
Whole-Workforce Risk
Security awareness training equips technical and non-technical staff to play an active role.
How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Protect
ML-based anti-ransomware and anti-malware automatically stop infections from known and unknown threats.
- 02
Harden
System hardening based on user behaviour plus centralised vulnerability, patch, and encryption management shrink the attack surface.
- 03
Detect
Behavioural detection, alert aggregation, and cloud sandbox surface how threats move within and beyond endpoints.
- 04
Investigate
Root-cause analysis and essential investigation tools trace threat activity for the team.
- 05
Respond
Automation and guided response counter attacks, with a range of response actions available from one console.
Capabilities
Key capabilities
Behavioural Detection
Detects attacks that abuse legitimate system tools and advanced techniques to avoid signature-based defences.
Alert Aggregation
Groups related alerts so a small team sees incidents rather than a flood of individual events.
Cloud Sandbox
Upload suspicious samples to check reputation within seconds and reuse the generated data for future IoC scans.
Root Cause Analysis
Traces how a threat moved within and beyond endpoints so the team understands the full incident.
Guided Response
Automation and guided response counter attacks quickly, with a range of response actions.
System Hardening
Reduces the attack surface through hardening based on user behaviour, with centralised patch and encryption management.
Cloud Discovery
Controls shadow IT — see cloud services in use, block unauthorised access, and find sensitive data in Microsoft 365.
Security Awareness Training
Trains the whole workforce, building a security-conscious culture alongside the IT security team.
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 XDR 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
01How is XDR Optimum different from EDR Optimum?
EDR Optimum focuses on the endpoint — detection, investigation, and response there. XDR Optimum extends that beyond the endpoint with alert aggregation, cloud sandbox, and broader cross-source visibility, so a small team correlates threats across more of the environment.
02Will it require new infrastructure to deploy?
No — it integrates into your existing infrastructure with no need to add new system components, and deploys in the cloud for lower total cost of ownership or on-premises for full control.
03What does the Cloud Sandbox do?
It lets you upload a potentially malicious sample and get its reputation within seconds, directly from the product interface, and reuse the generated data for future IoC scans — giving a small team detonation analysis without running their own sandbox.
04Is it suitable if security is handled by our general IT team?
Yes. It is designed to be easy to manage whether security is owned by the broader IT team or a small dedicated group, automating routine tasks so it does not overload existing resources.
05How does Faltrox deliver it?
We deploy and tune XDR Optimum, run the detection, sandbox, and guided-response workflow, and act on aggregated alerts — delivering XDR outcomes as a managed service to a team that could not staff a SOC.
