| Kaspersky organizes “Cyber Immunity” conference |
“IoT devices provide a cybersecurity environment that includes a large number of different digital elements, which creates more vulnerable points for cybercriminals to attack. We believe that Cyber Immunity provides a new paradigm for how IT systems should be designed. Vietnam, with its tech-savvy population and high IoT adoption rate, provides the perfect conditions for Cyber Immunity solutions to be introduced,” said Genie Gan, Head of Government and Public Policy for Asia Pacific, Japan, Middle East, Turkey and Africa at Kaspersky. “That is why the conference, themed “Securing IoT Devices with Cyber Immunity”, has received attention in the context of rapid hyperconnectivity in Vietnam.
The growing reliance on IoT coupled with vulnerabilities in these devices underscores the need for Cyber Immunity – an approach developed by Kaspersky that represents a security-by-design approach that addresses cybersecurity vulnerabilities at the early stages of software development. To realize the vision of Cyber Immunity, Kaspersky has developed its own operating system – KasperskyOS.
Andrey Suvorov, KasperskyOS Business Director at Kaspersky, explained that Cyber Immunity works by separating IT systems into separate parts and managing how they interact with each other. He elaborated on the four benefits of Cyber Immunity:
● Cyber Immunity strengthens digital systems, making system operations more predictable and less prone to related failures or accidents.
● Cyber Immunity cuts costs associated with developing and supporting secure IT solutions. Even when using suspicious third-party code, the Cyber Immunity system remains highly secure.
● Cyber Immunity solutions comply with regulatory standards: Common Criteria, ASPICE, ISO 26262 and others.
● KasperskyOS is designed to be scalable and to attract like-minded partners. One of the components of KasperskyOS is Kaspersky Security System, which is flexible and can be set up in a variety of ways, depending on specific security needs.
“We are delighted that Kaspersky has continued its long-standing partnership with the Vietnamese government and is offering actionable solutions to address the real challenges posed by the proliferation of IoT devices,” said Tran Dang Khoa, Deputy Director General of the Authority of Information Security. “The workshop provided important technical insights to attendees from both the government and the private sector, who were inspired to build the foundation for the next generation of IoT security solutions.”
