Kaspersky Lab is a privately held computer security company headquartered in Moscow in Russia, co-founded by Natalia Kasperskaya and Eugene Kaspersky in 1997, offering antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-intrusion and anti-spam products for home users and corporate clients.
Kaspersky Lab have regional offices in Germany, France, the Netherlands, the UK, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Japan, China, Korea and the USA.
In 2005, Red Herring magazine listed Kaspersky among “Red Herring 100 Europe”, a selection of the 100 private companies in Europe and Israel that play a leading role in innovation and technology.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine also powers products or solutions by other security vendors, such as Check Point, Bluecoat, Juniper Networks, Sybari (now acquired by Microsoft), Netintelligence, GFI Software, F-Secure, Borderware, FrontBridge, G-Data, Netasq, and others. Altogether, more than 120 companies are licensing technology from Kaspersky, which makes it one of the most widely used antivirus engines in the industry.
Kaspersky products are widely used in Eastern Europe and Asia, but have not been strongly marketed in North America and Western Europe. However, US-based magazine PC World recently awarded Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 the Editor’s Choice in its 2007 anti-virus comparative (partnered with AV-Test.org), a move which will likely result in more widespread use in the Western Hemisphere.
Kaspersky´s latest products for home users offer the latest reactive and proactive protections against viruses, and protects against threats from email and Internet traffic. Kaspersky also offer a wide range of solutions for corporate clients.
