Kaspersky Antivirus and Internet Security

Kaspersky is a globally recognized cybersecurity and anti-virus provider specializing in deep learning-based security solutions for individual consumers and large enterprises. The brand was founded in 1997 by Eugene Kaspersky and a group of co-founders, evolving from earlier research into computer viruses conducted in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The headquarters are located in Moscow, Russia, where the majority of its primary software development and research historically occurred. To enhance global trust and transparency, the company launched the Global Transparency Initiative, moving some of its core infrastructure and data processing facilities to Switzerland. While the core brand is Russian in origin, its operations are distributed globally with regional offices across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Kaspersky is currently a privately held international group. The ultimate ownership remains closely tied to its founders, primarily Eugene Kaspersky, who serves as the CEO. It operates as a holding company (Kaspersky Labs Limited) based in the United Kingdom, which oversees the various regional subsidiaries responsible for local distribution and support.
