Kaspersky Next
MXDR Optimum

Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum uses multiple AI mechanisms that automatically filter false positives, significantly enhance analyst productivity, and result in reduced mean time to prioritization, detection, and response – MTTD / MTTR:

• AI analyzes suspicious objects as soon as data arrives, enabling faster detection
• Resolves 35–40% of alerts, significantly increasing analyst throughput, enabling reduced reaction time SLAs
• AI-driven alert prioritization allows analysts to focus on the most important alerts
• Automatic alert resolution removes the need for human involvement.

Proactive threat hunting is a core component of Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum. Our analysts don't wait for alerts — they actively search your environment for signs of compromise using capabilities such as:

• Automatic ML-based behavioral detection to identify anomalies without human involvement
• Proactive hunting by our team for evasive threats both retrospectively and in real time using threat intelligence data to identify similar attacker tactics, techniques and procedures in your infrastructure
• Triage, cross-correlation of events across your endpoints and network, and prioritization to focus on the highest-priority incidents.

As a result, our managed protection helps reveal complex and sophisticated threats that might otherwise hide in your systems for months.

Our managed service ingests millions of alerts from your endpoints every day, servers, virtualization platforms and network. Here’s how it works:

1. Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum captures and forwards data to the Kaspersky SOC from agents deployed across the client’s infrastructure.
2. Collected telemetry and metadata are enriched with threat intelligence data.
3. Our experts search for similar anomaly patterns using thousands of detection rules, and triage alerts with the help of ML/AI tools.
4. The Kaspersky SOC team investigates incidents and notifies the client about malicious activity, providing recommendations and step-by-step response guidance.

When a threat is confirmed, our team performs immediate actions, for example:

• When a threat is detected, the built-in remediation engine rolls back harmful impact and restores affected systems and endpoints, where applicable
• Multiple response actions, including host isolation, process termination, registry key deletion and other remediation measures for immediate containment. The full list of response scenarios is available here.
• Collection of incident artefacts, such as a memory dump, to send to the Kaspersky Global Emergency Response Team for deeper investigation.
• Step-by-step guidance for your IT team on how to respond and remediate.
• Post-incident analysis explaining how the attack happened and how to prevent similar incidents in the future by applying top-level recommendations to improve your overall security posture.
