Kaspersky acclaimed for OT cybersecurity innovation in Asia

VDC Research has recognised Kaspersky for its strong presence in the Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity market.

VDC Research, known for its market insights and strategic assessments, has highlighted Kaspersky's entry into the OT cybersecurity domain. The firm's latest report, 'The Global Market for OT Cybersecurity Software & Services', credits Kaspersky for leveraging its expertise to establish a significant presence in various regions, especially in Asia and Europe, despite restrictions on its operations in North America.

Kaspersky's comprehensive offering is cited as a key competitive advantage. The company provides a wide range of solutions catering to the corporate sector, specialising in OT security, which positions them well for cybersecurity leaders seeking a cohesive approach.

Andrey Strelkov, Head of the Industrial Cybersecurity Product Line at Kaspersky, expressed pride in VDC Research's recognition, noting, "We are proud to be recognised by VDC Research for our strong position in the OT cybersecurity market. Our focus on developing innovative solutions that address current market demands remains steadfast, and our efforts to enhance transparency reassure our clients about the integrity of our operations."

Kaspersky provides an integrated ecosystem of OT-specific technologies and expertise for its OT customers. This includes Kaspersky Industrial Cybersecurity (KICS), an XDR platform designed for critical infrastructure with solutions such as KICS for Networks, which analyses and responds to network traffic, and KICS for Nodes, which protects and detects endpoints.

The report from VDC Research also recognises Kaspersky's initiatives in transparency, particularly the opening of a Transparency Centre in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2024. This centre is part of a global initiative allowing customers and partners to review the company's source codes and secure the development lifecycle, enhancing trust in Kaspersky's operations.

Kaspersky continues to be a notable player in cybersecurity, offering solutions tailored to protect against emerging threats whilst maintaining transparency and trust with its partners and clients worldwide.
