Kaspersky Endpoint Security
Kaspersky Endpoint Security is an enterprise endpoint security solution from Kaspersky Lab — founded in 1997 with over 400 million users worldwide. Combining AI/machine learning with the world's largest threat intelligence database, centrally managed via Kaspersky Security Center or a cloud console, with Windows, macOS, and mobile device support.
Overview
Kaspersky Endpoint Security is an enterprise endpoint security solution from Kaspersky Lab — a security company with over 27 years of experience and more than 400 million users globally. Kaspersky is renowned for its leading malware detection capabilities, particularly in the SME segment across the Asia-Pacific region, including Vietnam.
Kaspersky's core strength is the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) — a global threat intelligence network with millions of sensors, updating information on the latest malware within minutes. Combined with AI/machine learning and behavioural analysis, KSN enables Kaspersky to detect zero-day threats that traditional antivirus cannot identify.
Kaspersky offers two management console options: Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud (cloud console, no server installation required — suited to SMEs) and Kaspersky Security Center (on-premise server — suited to businesses wanting full internal data control). Both allow IT admins to centrally manage the entire device fleet remotely.
Important note: Kaspersky is not banned in Vietnam. The FCC restriction (USA, 2024) applies only to US government agencies. Vietnamese private businesses are fully permitted to use it. Dzo advises on each case according to the specific compliance requirements of each customer.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kaspersky banned in Vietnam?
Kaspersky is not banned in Vietnam. The FCC restriction (USA, 2024) applies only to US government agencies and does not apply to private businesses or organisations in other countries. Kaspersky remains legal and is distributed normally in Vietnam. Dzo advises on each specific case if you have special international compliance requirements.
Is a VAT invoice available? Can I pay in VND?
Yes. Dzo issues a valid electronic VAT invoice (hoá đơn đỏ) in compliance with Decree 123/2020 and accepts VND payment via corporate bank transfer. No foreign currency card required. Security costs can be recorded as deductible operating expenses for corporate income tax purposes.
What is the difference between Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud and Kaspersky for Business on-premise?
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud uses a cloud-based management console — no separate server installation needed, suited to SMEs without an IT server. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business (Select/Advanced) uses Kaspersky Security Center installed on an internal server — suited to businesses wanting complete internal data control or with strict compliance requirements.
Does Kaspersky protect against ransomware?
Yes. Kaspersky System Watcher uses behavioural analysis to detect ransomware in real time — no signature required to identify it. If a file begins to be encrypted, System Watcher detects it immediately and can rollback to the clean state before the attack. This feature works even against new ransomware that has never been seen before.
Does Kaspersky support mobile devices?
The Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Plus plan includes security for Android and iOS — scanning for malicious apps, web access control, anti-theft, and remote wipe for lost or stolen devices. The standard Cloud plan covers Windows and macOS only.
