Kaspersky Adds Call Filtering to Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management for Android Devices

Kaspersky has introduced call control capabilities into the expanded version of Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management. The new feature allows corporate Android devices running Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android to check incoming call numbers against both local offline databases and global online reputation sources. Depending on company policy, the system can display warnings to employees or automatically block suspicious calls. Administrators gain the ability to define rules by call category, maintain black and white lists, and apply different policies to specific employee groups. The update targets risks from telephone fraud and social engineering attempts that aim to extract confidential corporate information or funds. It also helps reduce unwanted spam calls that disrupt staff who handle high volumes of incoming communications. Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management provides full lifecycle control over corporate mobile devices, applications, data, and security policies.

Building Information Security Culture: How Welcome Training Turned Rules into Engaging Dialogue

A large software development company transformed its approach to information security awareness by replacing formal policy sign-offs and portal documents with an interactive Welcome Training program. The 45-minute in-person sessions target developers, analysts, testers, product managers, and designers, focusing on real-world context, attack mechanics, and personal relevance rather than prohibitions. Training covers global and local threat landscapes, password policies, corporate email usage, sensitive data storage with VeraCrypt, secure credential sharing via pbin, file verification with VirusTotal, and social engineering defense. It also highlights existing corporate tools including Kaspersky Endpoint Security, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway, and SIEM systems to emphasize layered protection. The format has increased engagement, improved retention of guidelines, fostered conscious compliance, and noticeably reduced incidents stemming from human error. The company stresses that technology alone fails without employee understanding of why rules matter.
