Kaspersky Email & Web Security
Secure the front door. Most attacks arrive by email or the web— Kaspersky filters both at the gateway, before they reach an endpoint, on its top-rated engine and GReAT intelligence.
How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
Kaspersky Email & Web Security protects the two channels most attacks arrive through: email and the web. The overwhelming majority of cyberattacks begin with an email (a phishing message, a malicious attachment, a business-email-compromise) or a web threat (a malicious site, a drive-by download), so securing these gateways stops the vast majority of threats before they ever reach an endpoint or a user. Kaspersky's offering covers the mail server and the internet gateway — Kaspersky Security for Mail Server filters email threats (spam, phishing, malware, BEC) at the mail layer, and Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway secures employees' web access against malicious sites and downloads. Both are powered by Kaspersky's top-rated, independently-validated detection engine and GReAT threat intelligence, so they catch the real, current attacks. As across the portfolio, the technology is capable and well-regarded; the vendor context is a factor to weigh for your compliance footprint, which for India operations is typically immaterial.

What is email & web gateway security?
Protection for the two channels most attacks arrive through — email (mail server) and web (internet gateway) — stopping threats at the perimeter, before the endpoint.
On Kaspersky’s top-rated engine and GReAT intelligence.
Endpoint-only vs gateway security — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | The endpoint alone | Gateway security (Kaspersky) |
|---|---|---|
| The attacks | Reach the inbox/browser | Filtered at the gateway |
| The position | After the endpoint | Before the endpoint |
| Email threats | Land, get clicked | Filtered at the mail server |
| Web threats | Reach the laptop | Blocked at the gateway |
| The channels | Separate tools | Mail + web, one vendor |
| The engine | Varies | Kaspersky top-rated |
| Freshness | Known-bad only | GReAT current intel |
| The defence | The endpoint alone | Gateway + awareness, layered |
Pairs with awareness training — the gateway filters the mass of threats, trained users handle what slips through.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Mail-Server Security
Kaspersky Security for Mail Server filters email threats — spam, phishing, malware and business-email-compromise — at the mail layer, before they reach inboxes.
Internet-Gateway Security
Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway secures employees' web access — blocking malicious sites, drive-by downloads and web-borne threats at the perimeter.
Top-Rated Detection
Both powered by Kaspersky's top-rated, independently-validated detection engine — the same efficacy that protects endpoints, applied to the gateway.
GReAT Intelligence
Fed by GReAT threat intelligence, so the gateways catch the real, current attacks — the phishing campaigns and web threats active now.
Perimeter Position
Positioned at the gateway, stopping the vast majority of threats before they ever reach an endpoint or a user — defence at the front door.
One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.
Twelve capabilities. Email, web, engine.
Kaspersky Email & Web Security stops the mass of attacks at the front door — the email and web channels most breaches begin with.
Spam Filtering
Filters spam at the mail server — cutting the noise and the phishing that hides within it, before the inbox.
Phishing Protection
Detects and blocks phishing emails at the mail layer — the top attack vector, stopped before it reaches users.
Email Malware Scanning
Scans email attachments and content for malware — Kaspersky's top-rated engine at the email gateway.
Business Email Compromise
Detects business-email-compromise and impersonation attempts — the targeted email fraud aimed at finance and execs.
Mail-Layer Controls
Content controls and policy at the mail server — governing the email channel beyond just threat blocking.
Web Threat Protection
Blocks malicious sites, drive-by downloads and web-borne threats at the internet gateway, before the laptop.
Malicious-URL Blocking
Blocks access to malicious and phishing URLs — the bad links that lead to compromise, stopped at the gateway.
Web Content Filtering
Web content and access controls — governing employees' web use and reducing the web attack surface.
Download Scanning
Scans web downloads for malware before they reach the endpoint — the drive-by and malicious download, blocked.
Top-Rated Engine
Both gateways on Kaspersky's independently-validated detection engine — the same efficacy as the endpoint.
GReAT Intelligence
Fed by GReAT threat intelligence — catching the current phishing campaigns and web threats, not just known-bad.
Layered with Awareness
Complements awareness training — the gateway filters the mass, training handles what slips through.

Here’s what genuinely sets Kaspersky Email & Web Security apart from the alternatives.
Email and web are where attacks start
The overwhelming majority of cyberattacks begin with an email (a phishing message, a malicious attachment, a business-email-compromise) or a web threat (a malicious site, a drive-by download). These two channels are the front door for most breaches. Securing them stops the vast majority of threats at the perimeter — which is why email and web gateway security is foundational, not optional.
Stop threats before the endpoint
The gateway's advantage is position: it intercepts threats at the front door, before they reach an endpoint or a user. A phishing email filtered at the mail server never lands in an inbox to be clicked; a malicious download blocked at the internet gateway never reaches a laptop. Stopping threats at the perimeter is far more effective than catching them after they've arrived.
Covers both mail server and web gateway
Kaspersky's offering covers both critical channels: Security for Mail Server filters email threats (spam, phishing, malware, BEC) at the mail layer, and Security for Internet Gateway secures web access against malicious sites and downloads. Both front doors covered from one vendor, rather than assembling separate email and web tools.
Top-rated detection at the gateway
The gateway security is powered by Kaspersky's top-rated, independently-validated detection engine — so the same efficacy that makes Kaspersky's endpoint protection excellent is applied to email and web. Combined with GReAT threat intelligence, the gateways catch the real, current phishing campaigns and web threats, not just yesterday's known-bad.
Pairs with awareness training
Gateway security and awareness training are complementary: the gateway filters out the vast majority of phishing before it reaches anyone, and awareness training (Kaspersky's own ASAP, its own page) prepares employees for the few threats that slip through. Together they form layered defence against the email/web attacks that cause most breaches.
The honest context and the field
The email/web security technology is capable and independently well-regarded. Weigh the vendor context (the 2024 US restriction) against your footprint — for India operations, typically immaterial. Note the email-security market has strong specialists (Proofpoint, Mimecast, and cloud-native options like Abnormal), and cloud-email suites include native protection; Kaspersky's edge is the top-rated engine and one-vendor coherence. TechBag scopes the fit honestly.

What do email/web threats cost you?
Drag the sliders (count users; IT-hour cost as loaded incident rate). Estimates assume ~1.5 hours per user per year handling email/web threats that reach the endpoint without gateway filtering, with ~70% removed by stopping the mass at the gateway — the avoided-breach value (most attacks start here) is the larger, unpriced win. Illustrative.
