United States : Kaspersky Lab Reveals Strategic Plans for Expansion in Enterprise IT Security Market [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Kaspersky Lab has revealed its vision of enterprise security at its annual CyberSecurity Summit, an event focused on how enterprise IT security affects businesses worldwide. At the event, Kaspersky Lab announced several new security technologies, planned solutions and business strategies that will guide the company s growth throughout the year. A key theme discussed at the event focused on recent and significant changes to the IT security landscape, including how sophisticated attacks and complex cyber-espionage campaigns targeting corporations are the new normal. Another area of focus was how the IT industry also faces a rising tide of advanced threats targeting financial service networks a segment which requires specialized security solutions to meet their unique needs. To lead the discussion of these core issues, Kaspersky Lab assembled leading experts in IT security from the corporate, government, financial systems and IT management fields, including representatives of Facebook, Visa, The Boeing Company and Wells Fargo & Co. Tom Ridge, Former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, delivered a keynote speech: How Cyberwarfare Impacts Enterprise IT Security. Eugene Kaspersky, chairman and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, said: These days cybercrime is no longer about stealing relatively small sums of money from ordinary users. As the IT security landscape evolves rapidly and gets more and more complex, the number of sophisticated cyber-espionage campaigns targeting giant corporations is also sharply rising. Criminals are increasingly elaborate in designing their attacks and always try to exploit the weakest link in terms of security, which means that supply chains and contractors are targeted as well. This means that today threat intelligence is one of the top priorities for CIOs and CSOs, who need to ensure their defenses are flexible enough to withstand not just contemporary threats, but also the coming generation of cyber dangers. Kaspersky Lab Expands its Enterprise Security Portfolio To equip enterprises with protection from these advanced threats, Kaspersky Lab s solution portfolio is built on a foundation of threat intelligence and an ability to build technologies in-house instead of through acquisition. These two core company principles produce measurable advantages in protection for our customers, and are central components of technology innovation to address critical areas of enterprise IT. The company s enterprise security portfolio now includes a new expansion of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization, which brings security technologies to virtual endpoints that were previously difficult to secure without sacrificing network performance. The recently-announced Kaspersky Fraud Prevention platform was also highlighted as a way to combat cyber-attacks against financial service providers. (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
