Kaspersky Lab AO

Kaspersky Lab software is internationally renowned for its computer protection against various types of threats, including viruses, malware, spam, network and hacker attacks.

In 2008, Kaspersky Lab was rated among the world's top four vendors of information security software solutions for end users (IDC Worldwide Endpoint Security Revenue by Vendor). In Russia, according to IDC, Kaspersky Lab is the first choice among all computer protection vendors for home users (IDC Endpoint Tracker 2014).

Kaspersky Lab was founded in Russia in 1997. Today, Kaspersky Lab is an international group of companies running 38 offices in 33 countries. The company employs more than 3000 qualified specialists.

Products. Kaspersky Lab’s products provide protection for all systems—from home computers to large corporate networks.

The personal product range includes applications that provide data security for desktop, laptop, and tablet computers, and for smartphones and other mobile devices.

The company offers solution and technologies for control and protection of workstations and mobile devices, virtual machines, file servers and web servers, mail gateways, and firewalls. The company's portfolio also includes dedicated products for protection against DDoS attacks, protection of environments managed with industrial control systems, and fraud prevention. Used in conjunction with Kaspersky Lab’s centralized management system, these solutions ensure effective automated protection for companies and organizations of any scale against computer threats. Kaspersky Lab's products are certified by the major test laboratories, are compatible with the software of many suppliers of computer applications, and are optimized to run on many hardware platforms.

Kaspersky Lab’s virus analysts work around the clock. Every day they uncover hundreds of thousands of new computer threats, create tools to detect and disinfect them, and include their respective signatures in the databases used by Kaspersky Lab applications.

Technologies. Many technologies that are now part and parcel of modern anti-virus tools were originally developed by Kaspersky Lab. It is no coincidence that the program kernel of Kaspersky Anti-Virus is integrated into products by many other software vendors, such as 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, and ZyXEL. Many of the company’s innovative technologies are patented.

Achievements. Over the years, Kaspersky Lab has won hundreds of awards for its services in combating computer threats. For example, according to tests and researches conducted in 2014 by the renowned Austrian anti-virus lab AV-Comparatives, Kaspersky Lab shared the leadership in the number of Advanced+ certificates awarded, which brought the Top Rated certificate to the company. But Kaspersky Lab's main achievement is the loyalty of its users worldwide. The company’s products and technologies protect more than 400 million users, and its corporate clients number more than 270,000.
