- Kaspersky introduces modular Security Modules for Kaspersky Next Optimum to streamline cybersecurity management for SMBs

- Ilya Markelov highlights that businesses can reinforce specific risk areas without interrupting existing infrastructure
Kaspersky has introduced new Security Modules for Kaspersky Next Optimum to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) address evolving cybersecurity threats while simplifying security management. Announced on Wednesday (November 11, 2026), these modules cater to growing SMB operational needs. According to Kaspersky’s research, phishing (20%) and software vulnerability exploits (17%) were the leading external cyber incidents affecting SMBs over the past year.
The new modular architecture empowers organizations to strengthen specific risk areas without replacing existing technology infrastructure. The newly introduced lineup includes Security Awareness to reduce phishing and human error, Email Security for safe communications, Workload Security for hybrid-cloud setups, Threat Lookup & Analysis for incident investigations, and Vulnerability Management to address system weaknesses.
Additionally, Kaspersky Next expands its features by incorporating simulated phishing campaigns into Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations and expert-driven threat hunting powered by Digital Footprint Intelligence into Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum. Operational enhancements feature mobile and tablet-optimized management, Telegram incident alerts, and the Pro View Console for smooth scalability.
Ilya Markelov, Head of Unified Platform Product Line at Kaspersky, stated that these modules eliminate cost and complexity barriers, enabling SMBs to reinforce vulnerable sectors seamlessly.
