Big companies have special IT security departments with huge budgets, whose only task is to ensure that everything is safe and sound.<\/p>\n<p>The average home user doesn\u2019t employ a team of infosec specialists, so their protection is usually up to them and them alone. Installing a security solution on every device is a must, but nowadays that isn\u2019t enough \u2014 to stay safe you have to know what\u2019s going on in the cyberworld, because threats are not limited to malware.<\/p>\n<p>And to keep up, you have to read security news on a daily basis. Sites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/threatpost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Threatpost.com<\/a> can help you with that mission. Still, dozens of security stories each week add up to a lot of time invested in staying informed about just one aspect of the world. Actually, we have another option!<\/p>\n<h2>Here comes Kaspersky Security Cloud<\/h2>\n<p>To address the problem of staying informed, as well as several other issues, we are happy to present the solution to all of your security concerns: Kaspersky Security Cloud. Think of it as a security service customized on the go for your specific needs that includes a personal security advisor to protect not just your devices, but your devices\u2019 owners \u2014 you and your family.<\/p>\n<p>Kaspersky Security Cloud is the first consumer solution to feature <i>adaptive security<\/i> \u2014 a new technology that is based on the US7584508B1 patent. We believe it is a perfect fit for everyone because it can be tailored to anyone\u2019s specific needs. Actually, we believe that the future is with adaptive security. Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n<p>First, Kaspersky Security Cloud is a modular solution. By default, it offers only the level of protection that every device needs \u2014 but it also includes a set of advanced security features and, let\u2019s say, a brain that activates those features only when you need them.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you definitely require another layer of protection when checking e-mail over free Wi-Fi in a caf\u00e9. If you do that, Kaspersky Security Cloud detects that you are using an insecure Internet connection and activates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/choose-your-vpn\/8679\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Secure Connection<\/a> \u2014 a VPN that encrypts your data and secures it from spying eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Or, say, if you create a new account on some service and choose a password that\u2019s too easy to crack, Kaspersky Security Cloud suggests using a longer, more secure password. If you use just one password for different services, it reminds you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/change-passwords-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how insecure that is<\/a>. One of the additional features in Kaspersky Security Cloud is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/new-password-manager\/8410\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Password Manager<\/a>, so there\u2019s no need to remember lots of long passwords if you don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n<h3>Information when you need it<\/h3>\n<p>Another new feature in Kaspersky Security Cloud provides you with security news and other information that is <i>personally relevant<\/i> to your security. <\/p>\n<p>For example, if a service that you use is compromised and its password database is stolen, you need to change that password as soon as possible to secure your account. Kaspersky Security Cloud notifies you about such incidents \u2014 but won\u2019t bother you about services that you don\u2019t use. Leaks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/new-password-manager\/8410\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">happen<\/a> every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/dropbox-hack\/7614\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">now and then<\/a>, but not all of them affect everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Kaspersky Security Cloud\u2019s adaptive security comes in handy in other ways as well. For example, it detects if an unknown device has connected to your private home network and informs you about that so that you can either ensure it\u2019s protected as well or disconnect it if you don\u2019t want it in your home network.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hVwnfQ5FP70?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Adaptive security for everything, everywhere<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve mentioned only a few of Kaspersky Security Cloud\u2019s functions here. There are more already, and the service is constantly developing, so more and more adaptive security features will be added. Kaspersky Security Cloud will be the first of our products to roll out new features, so its security will always be top notch and will include a broad spectrum of handy utilities for most situations you might encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Kaspersky Security Cloud is provided on a subscription basis and is tied to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/my-kapsersky-usecases\/8524\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Kaspersky portal<\/a>. You can choose a Personal subscription for one user, which includes one account and protection for three or five devices, or a Family subscription with 20 accounts and protection for 20 devices, as well as special adaptive protection for children. As far as operating systems, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysecuritycloud.co.uk\/?redef=1&amp;reseller=gb_myseclp_acq_ona_smm__onl_b2c_kasperskydaily_lnk____ksc___\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Kaspersky Security Cloud is available<\/a> for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, so you are protected whatever you do and wherever you go.<\/p>\n<input type=\"hidden\" class=\"category_for_banner\" value=\"ksc-trial-generic\">\n<p>It would be tough to cram all of the features of Kaspersky Security Cloud into just one short post \u2014 the full feature list alone is longer than this entire post. But you can try Kaspersky Security Cloud yourself and see what it has to offer: It\u2019s already available in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Try it for 30 days free; thereafter the service starts at \u00a349,99 per year for one account and three devices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaspersky Security Cloud is a service that protects you and your family from cyberthreats, also offering a personal security assistant and a handful of useful utilities when you need them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":10569,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2027],"tags":[1822,792,1821,1595,502,192,1820],"class_list":{"0":"post-10568","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-products","8":"category-special-projects","9":"tag-adaptive-security","10":"tag-cloud","11":"tag-kaspersky-security-cloud","12":"tag-launch","13":"tag-products-2","14":"tag-protection","15":"tag-security-as-a-service"},"hreflang":[{"hreflang":"en-gb","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/kaspersky-security-cloud-launch\/10568\/"},{"hreflang":"en-us","url":"https:\/\/usa.kaspersky.com\/blog\/kaspersky-security-cloud-launch\/13023\/"},{"hreflang":"de","url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.de\/blog\/kaspersky-security-cloud-launch\/13286\/"}],"acf":[],"banners":"","maintag":{"url":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/tag\/cloud\/","name":"cloud"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10568"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19330,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10568\/revisions\/19330"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
