Company Overview

We are a global company, with a global vision and a focus on international markets. We operate in 200 countries and territories and have 34 offices in more than 30 countries. Our team consists of more than 5000 highly-qualified specialists.

The Service Organization Control for Service Organizations (SOC) audits have been undertaken by Kaspersky since 2019. In 2023, Kaspersky also passed comprehensive SOC Type 2 audit for the effectiveness of controls implemented to protect the process of the antivirus databases development.

Our independence allows us to be more agile; to think differently and act faster. We are forever innovating, delivering protection that’s effective, usable and accessible. We pride ourselves on developing world-leading security that keeps us – and every one of our 400 million users protected by our technologies, and 220,000 corporate clients – one step ahead of potential threats.

Our commitment to people, as well as advanced technology, also keeps us ahead of the competition. Our company is named a Leader in endpoint protection by Gartner and Forrester analyst firms[ii]. Firmly positioned as one of the top five leading endpoint security vendors, we continue to improve our market position.

Endpoint security has always been the core of our business, especially in the small-to-medium-sized business segment. At the same time, over the next few years, we expect one of our main growth drivers to be in the enterprise market, particularly in the non-endpoint security area. Our customers’ needs change in line with the evolution of the threat landscape. Therefore, we are constantly expanding our enterprise portfolio with security solutions and services strengthened by Kaspersky’s global cybersecurity intelligence.

• Our unique experience and knowledge

  As the world has become more digitized and globalized, we at Kaspersky have become a technology leader with an advanced and comprehensive portfolio of security solutions and services. Now our business focus is continuing to evolve from “cybersecurity” towards the wider concept of “cyber-immunity”.

• A safer world without borders

  Collaboration is the most effective way of building a safer world and fighting cybercriminals. We share our expertise, knowledge and technical findings with the world’s security community. We are proud to collaborate with global IT security vendors, international organizations, and national and regional law enforcement agencies all over the world in fighting cybercrime.

• Kaspersky’s solutions and services

  The cornerstone of our business strategy is to transform our leading security intelligence into real protection for our clients, to enable them to use technologies in their lives and businesses safely and trust them. Our goal is to bring on the future for our customers.

CSR and Global Brand Initiatives

Our ultimate mission - to save the world - shows the company’s commitment to making cyberspace safer and to protect what matters most to people. This vision unites the company’s business goals and approach to corporate social responsibility.

Supporting art, science and sports

We are always delighted to work with companies that are as passionate about what they do as we are. We understand the importance of preserving past cultures, for the benefit of future generations. That is why Kaspersky has been cooperating with the Archeological Society at Athens (ASA) since 2015, to develop its Akrotiri project. This project is saving the remains of the historic Cycladic/Minoan settlement on Santorini Island, known as the Greek “Pompeii”. The company has become the major sponsor of the project, providing support for a number of activities to help the scientists further their work. This includes the restoration of the excavations, the conservation of spectacular wall paintings and the project’s building conservation work.

Kaspersky is interested in initiatives that combine human excellence, art and IT. That is why, in our anniversary year, we are proud to support a number of different cultural endeavors and sporting events. In 2017, Kaspersky became a general sponsor of the 1st Antarctic Biennale, a creative journey that involves a hundred people from all over the world - artists, architects, researchers, and philosophers - who will explore and create a universal cultural future for Antarctica. We are also supporting Starmus 2017, renowned to be the world's most ambitious science and music festival. Starmus was founded to celebrate science and the arts with the goal of bringing an understanding and appreciation of science to the general public. It gathers the most reputable speakers – international scientists, cosmonauts and astronauts, artists and musicians, writers, business leaders, and more.

We also support key sporting events which celebrate strategic and forward-thinking. Kaspersky supports and protects FIDE and the World Chess Championship 2017-18, as official cybersecurity partner. Since 2016, we have also sponsored chess Grandmaster and World Vice Champion Sergey Karjakin; and since 2012, we have supported a young candidate master Andrey Tsvetkov, as well as Grandmaster and world junior chess champion Mikhail Antipov. For the fourth year in a row, Kaspersky has continued its sponsorship of the Kaspersky Riga Masters - the first professional snooker tournament to be held in Latvia, which started in 2014.

Our educational initiatives

We believe that encouraging dialog and launching educational programs are essential steps towards international collaboration in the fight against cybercrime. That is why we operate the Kaspersky Academy: a series of projects dedicated to supporting young talent in IT security.

To equip young talents with the wide knowledge of cybersecurity professional paths and make their future IT journey more vivid, Kaspersky also launched the Tech Valley project, which focuses on senior scholars and college students. In addition, Kaspersky conducts Kaspersky Expert training, which is aimed at professionals and helps them learn effective threat detection and mitigation strategies to battle the evolving dangers of today’s cyber-reality. In 2023, Kaspersky also announced its Kids’ Cyber Resilience project. The goal of this project is to establish collaborative and proactive approach to online safety and security, helping children manage stress and recover from setbacks in a digital environment. Apart from kids’ education, the process includes equipping parents and educators with knowledge and tools to guide kids to identify issues online, i.e. sources of stress and discomfort, reduce or mitigate potential cyber risks, and provide support for those who may have been impacted by cyber bullying and other forms of negative online experiences. Further, Kaspersky experts also contribute to study materials for Junior High schools.

Children’s online safety

We partner with independent organizations (such as European Schoolnet EUN and FOSI), and law enforcement agencies, to raise awareness about online safety and cyberbullying. Kaspersky also works together with child psychologists from across the globe to put together recommendations on how to protect kids online. We offer a number of tools to ensure children are safe from cyber threats.
