In his speech Eugene Kaspersky highlighted the pressing need for Cyber Immunity – Kaspersky’s approach to developing secure-by-design IT systems, as the world enters the Cyber Age.
Eugene Kaspersky noted that from year to year, the cyberthreat landscape continues to evolve in both complexity and sophistication. Cybercriminals harm businesses with headline-grabbing attacks targeting IT and telecoms, healthcare, financial services, industrial plants and critical infrastructure, and so on. No sector is 100% safe.
While 90% of Singapore’s economy is made up of SMEs, Kaspersky’s data revealed that within the first half of 2023, malware or unwanted software disguised as business applications with approximately 50 unique files were distributed and 453 unique attacks were detected targeting this sector. Whereas in the same period a year ago, only 24 unique files were distributed, and 112 unique attacks were detected. This is largely aligned with the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) of Singapore’s Cyber Landscape 2022 report released in June, where the CSA noted that almost 40 per cent of cyberattacks here target SMEs.
This highlights the immediate risk that Singapore eitities are exposed to in this Cyber Age.
Cyber Immunity is an approach we trademarked in both the United States and the European Union. It represents a secure-by-design way to create systems that are virtually impossible to compromise and that minimize the number of potential vulnerabilities. The essential element of this concept is our KasperskyOS, a platform for building Cyber Immune products, such as Kaspersky Thin Client, our first and next-generation IoT gateways, and all the upcoming KasperskyOS-based products developed to create a more secure digital world. At Kaspersky, our mission is to build a safer world, and we are very excited about the possibilities to achieve this with Div0. We strongly believe that collaborations and mutual cooperations between non-profits and cybersecurity firms like us can boost the world’s cyber safety.
We are delighted to have Eugene Kaspersky and his team for the public lecture today. Div0 is committed to growing and promoting the vibrant cybersecurity community and fostering a safer cyberspace in Singapore. Through our partnership with key industry players such as Kaspersky, we are able to enhance our platform. In turn, contributing to the community at large, and furthering the cyber resilience and immunity of Singapore.
Division Zero (Div0) is an open, inclusive, and completely volunteer-driven community. The mission of Div0 is to promote a vibrant cybersecurity community and safer cyberspace in Singapore. Div0 provides a platform where cybersecurity professionals, practitioners and enthusiasts can meet like-minded people, explore and learn with peers, and contribute to the community at large. Div0 does so by organising events, encouraging contributions and collaborations, and reaching out to the public.
