Who is Kaspersky?

It’s a cyber-war – an arms race that pits us against the cybercriminals who negatively impact how we use the Internet in our personal and professional lives. At Kaspersky Lab, our mission is to respond rapidly to all Internet threats: by joining together with the broader community to find ways that best combat these criminals.

Our Mission

We put all our resources and know-how into preventing these threats from spreading, and educating the community at large on best practices to ensure the greatest possible online security. The success of our mission has resulted in Kaspersky Lab emerging as the world’s largest privately held anti-malware company. Founded in 1997, the company offers its products and technologies to industry and consumers in virtually every country around the globe. Today, more than 300 million users worldwide are protected by our technologies. And every week, we add more than 100,000 new users.

As a result of supporting our customers’ needs, Kaspersky Lab has grown to more than 1800 employees, with more than half of us focused on R&D and customer support. We’ve experienced exceptional financial growth since the company was started and have increased the size more than ten times within the last three years alone.

Kaspersky Inside

We are also the largest licensor of anti-malware technology in the world, with more than 130 leading IT security, networking and messaging software and hardware vendors choosing our state-of-the-art anti-malware protection for use inside their own products. These companies include industry leaders like Microsoft, Check Point, Nokia, Juniper Networks, Alcatel-Lucent, SonicWall, ClearSwift and many others.

Antivirus Expertise

Virus Lab analysts headed by Eugene Kaspersky have over a decade of experience in the antivirus field, allowing them to predict data security trends. For instance, we were the first to develop and implement innovations such as heuristic virus analysis and linguistic text analysis. Such innovations keep the company’s product portfolio at the vanguard of the market.

Optimized for the Real World

Recognized by Gartner as a visionary company in the endpoint security market, Kaspersky Lab combines innovative technology with a unique approach to managing risk and delivering new operational efficiencies. We do this by minimizing our customers’ window of exposure, with the most resource efficient endpoint and server security solutions available.

Learn how our consumer and enterprise security solutions can protect your customer’s business. We’re Kaspersky Lab. And we’re on a mission.
