WHAT WE DO FOR THE WORLD’S CYBERSECURITY

The essentials from Kaspersky’s Sustainable Development Report for the year 2021
and the first half of 2022.



For 25 years we have been enabling people’s security in the digital world.
We develop a wide range of protective solutions for both private users and large
industrial enterprises. We develop educational products — from those teaching
the basics of cybersecurity, to training courses for highly-skilled developers.
We also work on Cyber Immunity — an approach aimed at constructing digital
systems in such a way that carrying out a cyberattack would cost more than the
amount of possible damage or profit to the attackers. Our own operating system —
KasperskyOS — is built on this security-by-design principle, and has already
proven helpful in the protection of the Internet of Things and smart cities.

Let us share some of our main accomplishments with you.


WE MAKE OUR PROCESSES TRANSPARENT AND PROTECT DATA

1
99%
of our contract partners have been in the market for at least three years

We don’t work with companies with neither experience nor reputation

WE HAVE OPENED NINE TRANSPARENCY CENTERS WORLDWIDE SINCE 2018

These are visitor centers where we inform people about our data management
procedures and provide access to the source code of our solutions. Since their
inception, our Transparency Centers have handled 31 client requests

100% of the patent actions filed against our company in the U.S.A. over the
course of 17 years were successfully defended in court Here is the story of how
we defeated one such patent troll

ZERO COURT ORDERS AGAINST THE COMPANY, OUR EMPLOYEES OR PARTNERS REGARDING
VIOLATIONS OF ANTI-CORRUPTION LAWS

Kaspersky does not accept any form of bribery or corruption

Case in point How we defeated a patent troll
Read

Kaspersky frequently has to defend its rights in relation to patent lawsuits
initiated by patent trolls. In April 2021, Kaspersky received a summons
in a suit from a patent troll called Cybersoft IP, LLC. We estimated that in the
worst-case scenario, potential damages could amount to $500,000. The plaintiff
insisted that our product, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway, was in violation
of a network security patent for a technology that allows communicated data
on a user device to be checked. The patent pertains to a personal firewall-type
solution implemented on a user device through which network data is intercepted
and scanned. But similar network traffic filtering solutions are well-known and
have been in use for a long time. The lawsuit seemed like a risky one for us
at first sight. Cybersoft IP, LLC offered to close the case for $90,000 and
intimidated us with litigation concerning further patents, but this is not the
kind of deal our company makes. However, after analyzing the patent we saw that
not all elements of the patent claim were disclosed in the description, and nor
were they understandable to specialists in the field, which in many
jurisdictions is grounds to revoke the patent.

We were able to have all claims revoked in court, while the patent troll had
to acknowledge the proceedings had no grounding, choosing to settle the case.
Kaspersky bore the legal costs, which amounted to around $150,000, but we proved
we were right: we put the troll in its place, and demonstrated to other
potential plaintiffs that our company is not an easy target.


WE ASSIST IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CYBERCRIMES AND WE PROTECT USERS AND CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE AGAINST THREATS

high-profile arrests of cybercriminals

were made in four countries thanks to active cyber-expertise exchanges between
Kaspersky and INTERPOL. Read here about how we helped prevent a cyber-heist from
taking place in a central bank in Latin America

MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION USERS

worldwide have been able to decrypt their data since 2016 with the help of the
No More Ransom anti-ransomware initiative co-founded by Kaspersky

Over 750 thousand people across 24 Russian cities attended our webinars
on internet safety for children

MORE THAN 100 KASPERSKYOS-BASED PILOT PROJECTS WERE LAUNCHED BY KASPERSKY
IN RUSSIA IN 2021, AND IN 2022 WE BEGAN LAUNCHING OUR FIRST PILOTS IN THE MIDDLE
EAST

Our pilot projects are primarily employed in the metallurgy, oil and gas,
mechanical engineering, and metalworking industries, as well as in government
institutions and educational establishments

More than 687 million attacks launched from internet resources located
in various countries worldwide were thwarted by Kaspersky’s solutions from
November 2020 to October 2021

Case in point How we prevented a central bank heist
Read

In 2021, Kaspersky’s experts discovered stolen data showing that a group
of cybercriminals had infiltrated the infrastructure of a Latin American
country’s central bank. The group were looking for partners to follow through
with the attack. This type of collaboration has been quite common in the last
two years; one group hacks into an organization, another encrypts and steals the
data, while a third group demands the ransom and handles the financial side.

Our experts analyzed the data and discovered that the perpetrators had access
to the entire infrastructure, including the international financial transfer
system. Kaspersky promptly notified INTERPOL and the International Payments
Framework.

After a joint investigation, all vulnerabilities within the corporate network
were closed, thereby halting the preparations for the planned attack. Our
seamless cooperation was instrumental in stopping the perpetrators before the
organization suffered real losses.


WE REDUCE OUR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT


3
We reduced our emissions by 81%

from 2019 to 2021 after cutting down on air travel (from 5085 flights in 2019
to 1460 in 2021)

WE HAVE SAVED UP TO 50% OF WATER USAGE

each month in our Moscow office following the installation of new sensors on our
water supply facilities

50% less physical media sales of Kaspersky products in favor of digital products
from 2021–2022

8,14 tons
out of 172.4 tons of Class IV waste

were recycled in 2021. In the first half of 2022 — 2.56 out of 218.2 tons were
recycled. Read on to learn about how we instruct our employees on waste sorting
in the office to ensure that as much waste as possible is recycled

Case in point How we used an online game to teach our employees about waste
sorting
Read

In 2021–2022 we started implementing a waste sorting and collection system
in the office. The first step was to instruct the employees on how to properly
sort waste. We started with a video tutorial illustrating the main office waste
categories, and we placed informational posters above the containers in every
kitchen/dining area. We then developed an FAQ list featuring some of the
trickiest and most frequent questions about waste: why sort it, what is produced
from recycled waste, and so on. We provided training for the cleaning personnel
on how to collect and sort the waste bags. We also invited Irina Kozlovskikh
from the charity Vtoroye Dykhanie (Second Breath) to give a lecture to our
employees during which she talked about how separate waste collection works
in Moscow and who collects waste from Kaspersky’s office. The lecture ended with
a Q&A session.

To ensure that all the information provided would sink in, we decided
to reinforce it with an unusual game. On Earth Day, April 22, 2022, we launched
an online game called Trash Ninja, available to all employees. The premise
is to help your colleagues better navigate office waste. The game has fairly
simple rules, so it can be used to challenge coworkers and compete for the title
of waste sorting guru — or Trash Ninja. As a result, our Moscow office employees
learned how to properly sort waste — not only in the office but also at home.

education — read more about their trajectory here

Case in point How tenth-graders made it into Kaspersky
Read

In October 2017, Moscow’s Department of Education and Science gave the go-ahead
for a new educational program — Math Vertical — to be introduced across Moscow’s
schools. The program involves the advanced study of mathematics from grades
seven through nine. Kaspersky suggested enhancing the Math Vertical with
a special course on the Basics of Information Security, consisting of several
key blocks such as programming basics, an introduction to state-of-the-art high
technologies, and advice on security in cyberspace. The authorities selected
School No. 1409 as the one to be mentored under the company’s patronage, and
named the experimental program Kaspersky’s Math Vertical.

Upon completing the program, the tenth-graders of Kaspersky’s Math Vertical
undertake an internship with the company where they are given specific
production tasks to solve. In 2019, the internship attracted three high school
students; in 2022 there were already 12 of them. After completing our
internship, two of the students went on to college specializing in IТ, and now
simultaneously work in Kaspersky’s R&D department and pursue higher education.
