How much of this is actually implemented in businesses in the region? What are they lacking? Today, a holistic approach is necessary to stay ahead of the fast-growing threat landscape.
Traditional approaches to security are no longer enough. Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 is designed to serve as a secure gateway for the Internet of Things in an enterprise network. We recently launched the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000, which is a Cyber Immune solution. We’ve already launched products based on our Kaspersky OS. It provides the interfaces, mechanisms and tools, while the methodology requires organisations to clearly define security objectives and the conditions in which an IT system will operate. Our Cyber Immune operating system, KasperskyOS, along with a special development methodology lets developers create Cyber Immune solutions. We believe that Cyber Immunity is the future of cybersecurity. Think of it as cybersecurity at the core, rather than being required to add additional layers of protection at a later stage. Kaspersky’s Cyber Immune approach is a means to create solutions that are virtually impossible to compromise and that minimise the number of potential vulnerabilities. So, Kaspersky decided to reinvent cybersecurity and coin the term “Cyber Immunity”, a way to develop IT systems with innate protection. Although the cybersecurity industry is creating more security technologies, it is often merely playing catch-up with the attackers. Whether it is industrial plants, energy facilities, cars or smart city systems, critical infrastructure cannot afford to have operations disrupted as this could affect people’s lives.
How do you implement this and ensure that IT systems are innately secure? Kaspersky has created a created a concept for designing IT systems with “innate” immunity, called the Cyber Immune approach. Our regional researchers are currently monitoring 29 groups in the Middle East and have issued hundreds of reports sharing expertise and insights on their operations. Our research team is an elite group of more than 40 security experts, specialised in tracking and studying the activity of APT groups around the world. For example, an airline company in the Middle East using our threat Intelligence can have access to insights on APTs targeting other airlines in the region and worldwide to understand the criminals’ motives and techniques and build a cybersecurity strategy that is resilient. The only way to stay ahead of the threats is by understanding them and preparing accordingly. APT groups also rely on smart social engineering techniques to infiltrate their victims.
The Mirai botnet used enterprise-class IoT devices to launch massive DDoS attack that had dire financial and reputation consequences.
KASPERSKY TOTAL SECURITY KEY DRIVER
For example, IoT has fast become a key driver of digital transformation and is crucial within today’s smart city infrastructure. They are also quick to exploit vulnerabilities in new technologies. How does Kaspersky’s Threat Intelligence step in to help organisations stay ahead of cyberthreats?ĪPT groups are extremely smart, well-equipped to infiltrate any device or network to achieve their motives. This basically means moving your IT security strategy to a new level. The first half of 2022 showed a 8% YoY growth and we aim to continue this streak of success in the region.ĭigital transformation raises the stakes for IT security. To illustrate our success in numbers, we have had steady growth in our Middle East business throughout the past years. To date, we have tracked activities of over 900 APT groups and collected over 1 billion malware files. With quarter of a century experience, we continue to work closely with major government entities and key industries in the region doing what we do best – protect our customer and what they value the most. Earlier this year, we opened a new office in Saudi Arabia, which adds to our ever-expanding network and is a milestone in our roadmap to protect over 400 million users and 240,000 corporate clients worldwide. We have had our operations in the Middle East for over 15 years and are celebrating our 25 th anniversary this year. Tell us about Kaspersky’s operations in the Middle East?
