Kaspersky is an internationally renowned vendor of systems for computer protection against various types of threats, including viruses, malware, spam, network and hacker attacks.
In 2008, Kaspersky was rated among the world's top four leading vendors of information security software solutions for end users (IDC Worldwide Endpoint Security Revenue by Vendor). Kaspersky is the preferred vendor of computer protection systems for home users in Russia ("IDC Endpoint Tracker 2014").
Kaspersky was founded in 1997 in Russia. It has since grown into an international group of companies with 38 offices in 33 countries. The company employs more than 3000 highly qualified specialists.
Products. Kaspersky products protect both home computers and corporate networks.
The personal product range includes applications that provide information security for desktop, laptop, and tablet computers, as well as for smartphones and other mobile devices.
The company offers protection and control solutions and technologies for workstations and mobile devices, virtual machines, file and web servers, mail gateways, and firewalls. The company's portfolio also features specialized products providing protection against DDoS attacks, protection for industrial control systems, and prevention of financial fraud. Used in conjunction with the centralized management tools of Kaspersky, these solutions ensure effective automated protection against computer threats for organizations of any scale. Kaspersky products are certified by major testing laboratories, compatible with the applications of most software vendors, and optimized for work on most hardware platforms.
Virus analysts work around the clock at Kaspersky. Every day they uncover hundreds of thousands of new computer threats, create tools to detect and disinfect them, and include the signatures of these threats in the databases used by Kaspersky applications.
Technologies. Many of technologies that make part of any modern anti-virus were first developed by Kaspersky. It is therefore logical for many third-party software developers to use the kernel of Kaspersky Anti-Virus in their own applications. Those companies include Alcatel-Lucent, Alt-N, Asus, BAE Systems, Blue Coat, Check Point, Cisco Meraki, Clearswift, D-Link, Facebook, General Dynamics, H3C, Juniper Networks, Lenovo, Microsoft, NETGEAR, Openwave Messaging, Parallels, Qualcomm, Samsung, Stormshield, Toshiba, Trustwave, Vertu, ZyXEL. Many of the company's innovative technologies are backed by patents.
Achievements. Years of struggle against computer threats have brought hundreds of awards to Kaspersky. Following tests and research conducted by the reputed Austrian test laboratory AV-Comparatives in 2014, Kaspersky ranked among the top two vendors by the number of Advanced+ certificates earned and was eventually awarded the Top Rated certificate. However, the most important award to Kaspersky is the commitment of users all over the world. The company's products and technologies protect more than 400 million users. The number of its client organizations exceeds 270 thousand.
