Kaspersky has successfully leveraged its extensive experience and robust
reputation to establish a significant presence in the OT cybersecurity market.
Analysts stated that the company has achieved success in key regions including
China, Russia and various parts of Europe and Asia, allowing it to carve out a
considerable niche despite the limitations imposed on its North American
operations. The report highlights Kaspersky's comprehensive portfolio for the
corporate segment and specialized OT solutions as vital competitive advantages

For OT customers,
Kaspersky offers a distinctive ecosystem that seamlessly integrates dedicated
OT-grade technologies, expert knowledge and invaluable expertise. Kaspersky
Industrial Cybersecurity (KICS), a native XDR platform for critical
infrastructure, serves as the foundational core for this OT ecosystem and
includes two solutions: KICS for Networks, which focuses on network traffic
analysis, detection and responsive actions, and KICS for Nodes, which provides
endpoint protection, as well as detection and response capabilities. These
comprehensive solutions integrate traditional IT security measures with
purpose-built industrial security technologies.
VDC Research has also
emphasized Kaspersky’s efforts and achievements in transparency, an ongoing
initiative that aims at building trust in company’s products, internal
processes and business operations. In particular, agency analysts highlighted
the opening of a new Transparency Center in Istanbul, Turkey in 2024, which
joined a global network of Transparency Centers for customers, partners and
regulators to review Kaspersky's source code and secure development lifecycle
processes.
