Kaspersky^®Security Cloud

Everyone’s experience of using their devices and the internet is different. At Kaspersky, we believe security should adapt itself to you, not the other way round. This is why we’re introducing Kaspersky Security Cloud – a brand new solution that considers each person’s individuality and their security needs, and is able to adapt itself to you, delivering the right protection at the right time. Our patented adaptive security technologies add extra flexibility to our multi-layered, award-winning protection. This means both individuals and families can get security tailored to their unique needs, and on different devices – as part of a subscription model, under a single account.

And with technologies multiplying at a quicker rate than ever, we believe this new approach to cybersecurity comes at just the right time. For example, research shows that the average adult internet user now has as many as 14 password-protected online accounts, services or applications, all accessed across numerous devices in different ways – which means you have never been more exposed to cyber-threats. But now, with Kaspersky Security Cloud, you can protect every part of your digital world with confidence.

Our virus protection has been honed to perfection over the last two decades. We’ve taken all the best of our award-wining solutions and added our patented adaptive security technologies to create a highly personalized solution that adjusts to your lifestyle to keep you safe. There are several attributes that make the service unique, including:

Patented Adaptive Security. Adaptive security technology is bespoke by definition, responding to your lifestyle within the context of the ever-shifting cybersecurity landscape. The technology anticipates danger, advises you when action is needed and automatically updates your device settings when the need arises. Not only does it shield you from direct cyber-threats, it also reassures you that the things you care about are secure.

Account based control. The service is tied to the subscription owner’s My Kaspersky account, rather than to a license. This means that security management features found in My Kaspersky allow you to configure your security any way you want. And if you purchase our Family edition, you become the main account holder – which enables you to share security with family members and friends. In this instance, every individual will have their own My Kaspersky account, and the solution will adapt itself to their personal needs and online habits.

Platform agnostic flexibility. The service works on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. And if you need to manage your account from a shared device, it can be accessed through the My Kaspersky website.

State-of-the-art innovation. The service is constantly developing. All the latest tools, features and technologies will appear first in Kaspersky Security Cloud.

Depending on the nature of the threat, Kaspersky Security Cloud either responds by deploying security automatically – when the threat is severe and urgent action is needed – or by promoting you to take action through simple alerts to your devices. When it comes to prompts, you have the choice to agree or disagree with the suggestions it makes – and over whether or not to take action.

We added the word ‘cloud’ to the service name because we wanted to emphasize that it’s not tied to a specific device, but instead works as a single service – even if it’s installed on multiple devices. This is our first step towards creating protection “‘beyond” the device – security that considers your online habits, choices and preferences to protect you round the clock. Also, some of the data required for the service to work is sourced from Kaspersky’s cloud. This includes a security assessment of the Wi-Fi network you about to connect to, or the category of website you are about to open – both which are required to launch secure VPN – or a description of your interests, so the service can provide you with relevant security news and tips.

The stats the service sends to Kaspersky are anonymized where possible, don’t contain any of the user’s sensitive personal data – such as religion, political views, sexual preferences, health etc. – and are not attributed to a specific individual. These stats are collected to improve the service and provide more reliable protection for our users. The complete list of processed data is available in the agreements that the user voluntarily accepts.

No, they will not. As the subscription owner, you can invite up to 9 family members to use the service or its specific features, but each family member will have their own private My Kaspersky account.
