Kaspersky Releases Corporate Version of Kaspersky Password Manager for Mid-Size and Large Organizations

Kaspersky has launched a corporate edition of Kaspersky Password Manager aimed at medium and large organizations that need centralized control over employee credentials.

The new solution generates strong, unique passwords, stores them in an encrypted vault, and continuously checks existing passwords for weaknesses and presence in known data breaches. Employees are required to remember only one master password, while the platform additionally safeguards one-time TOTP codes, passkeys, corporate documents, and bank-card information.

Administrators can define organization-wide password policies and assign granular permissions according to user roles. Kaspersky supports the release with findings from its Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence service, which analyzed password behavior throughout 2026.

According to the data, 37 percent of users reused an old password by simply altering letter case, 13 percent appended the current year, and 17 percent added only one special character. Further analysis revealed that 39 percent of passwords consisted solely of digits and 31 percent used only Latin letters, with the average password reused across at least two services.

Kaspersky notes that such practices carry significant consequences: in 2025, one quarter of attacks targeting organizations began with stolen or weak credentials that attackers then tested across other systems to reach internal infrastructure.

AI Agents Rewrite SaaS Monetization Models as Marketplace Platforms Drive Global ISV Growth

The 2026 narrative of SaaS apocalypse driven by AI has reversed following strong earnings from major vendors. Companies including Salesforce, Palantir, Kingdee and Yonyou began reporting AI-related revenue, while IDC and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued that AI agents amplify rather than replace software. At the 2026 Amazon Web Services Software Enterprise Summit in Shenzhen, AWS launched an ISV go-global accelerator and six new AI agents on Marketplace to streamline sales, compliance and partner management. Marketplace now hosts over 30,000 products from 6,000 sellers, with Agentic AI listings growing from 800 to more than 3,000 since July 2025. Chinese ISVs such as PingCAP, Zilliz, Manus and Plaud AI are shifting from simple listings to localized operations and bundled solutions. The platform projects hundreds of billions in transaction volume for 2026, supported by a network of 130,000 global partners. Industry leaders emphasize that future growth depends on embedding AI as core product logic rather than add-on chat interfaces.

Securing 1C Web Client Access with External MFA via Nginx, Keycloak and Active Directory

A detailed implementation separates user browser access from integration traffic by placing MFA enforcement on an external Nginx and Keycloak layer while preserving the original IIS endpoints for automated systems. The architecture uses a new IIS server for employees only, with oauth2-proxy handling OIDC flows against Keycloak federated to Active Directory. Access is restricted to members of a dedicated AD group such as 1C_Web_2FA, and TOTP serves as the second factor. Existing integrations continue to reach the legacy IIS directly from whitelisted IP addresses without triggering interactive authentication. The solution avoids 1C OpenID Authentication, keeps native 1C login intact, and supports desktop shortcuts that launch the web client in a dedicated browser window. Network controls ensure the new IIS cannot be reached directly from the internet, preventing bypass of the MFA gateway.

Avanpost Unveils DAG System for Sensitive File Discovery and Excessive Access Rights Management

Avanpost has launched its new DAG solution designed to control access to unstructured data across file servers, cloud environments, and corporate knowledge bases. The system scans file contents to identify confidential information, maps actual user permissions, and highlights policy violations that official regulations often overlook. Built-in workflow automation routes access review requests to data owners, collects approvals, assigns remediation tasks to IT teams, and verifies changes through follow-up scans. DAG integrates with existing IdM/IAM platforms to factor in employee roles and employment status, automatically triggering access reviews during job changes or terminations. The platform also forwards detected violations to SIEM and SOAR systems for coordinated response and supports both high-load enterprise deployments and simpler mid-market installations. Customers can request on-site pilots to evaluate the solution against their current infrastructure.
