As it celebrates its twentieth anniversary, Kaspersky Lab, a global digital security company, sees its mission, which has begun as a human mission to evolve into a global crusade against digital crime.
With innovation and vision at its heart, this year Kaspersky Lab will take its struggle to other levels - introducing key innovations such as the adaptive Kaspersky Security Cloud and Kaspersky OS - to provide businesses and consumers with the tools they need to to be protected from ever-evolving threats. 
From Earth 2050, revealing how the landscape of digital threats will look like in the future, until the Sound of Safety experiment, which explores security-related sounds, Kaspersky Lab remains one step ahead of the criminals and is in the forefront of the digital security industry.
Το 1989, ένας νέος μηχανικός λογισμικού ανακάλυψε ότι ο υπολογιστής του έχει δεχτεί επίθεση από τον διαβόητο ιό Cascade. Γοητευμένος από την πρόκληση, αποφάσισε να εντοπίσει τον ιό, να τον αναλύσει και να δημιουργήσει λογισμικό που θα μπορούσε να τον εξουδετερώσει. Αυτός ο μηχανικός ήταν ο Eugene Kaspersky and thus began the history of Kaspersky Lab, a 20-year-old company that now employs more than 3.700 people.
In 1997, Eugene and three other partners founded Kaspersky Lab. Starting with just 19 people, Kaspersky Lab has grown into an international leader in digital security, operating in 200 countries and regions and with 35 offices in 31 countries. The products and the company's technologies provide protection to more than 400 million users and more than 270.000 enterprise customers worldwide.
During the duration In its 20-year history, Kaspersky Lab has seen many changes in the threat landscape – as well as in the way people and organizations approach their security. The rapid proliferation of new technologies meant that the computer that the Eugene rescued for the first time since Cascade is outdated, like many others, and now uses multiple devices every day. But while our connectivity has improved our lives and changed it forever, our growing dependence on the IT sector has made the digital threats a global problem.
Given that technology has become so important to everyday consumer experiences, security expertise in the IT sector has doubled. Eugene and his team understand the global landscape of digital threats and are among the best in detecting and eliminating all forms of malware. The wealth of experience gained by the business after years of coping critical threats of the IT sector is the most valuable asset of Kaspersky Lab and allows the team to stay one step ahead of possible threats.
Today, Kaspersky Lab's portfolio includes security solutions for a wide range of customers. They protect consumers as well as large, medium and small businesses from various forms of threats and provide them with appropriate tools for controlling and managing their security.
Ένα από τα βασικά πλεονεκτήματα της Kaspersky Lab είναι η ομάδα της, όπως εξηγεί ο Eugene Kaspersky, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος και συνιδρυτής της Kaspersky Lab: «Είκοσι χρόνια σε μια επιχείρηση είναι πολύς καιρός. Αλλά είτε το πιστεύετε είτε όχι, την αγαπώ ακόμα. Αγαπώ την ομάδα μας και το έργο που κάνουμε. Έχουμε καλές και κακές στιγμές και έχουμε μάθει πολλά ο ένας από τον άλλο. Τα τελευταία 20 χρόνια εργαζόμαστε όλο το εικοσιτετράωρο κάθε μέρα – αναλύοντας και καταπολεμώντας κάθε είδους απειλές που έχουν εξελιχθεί την εκάστοτε εποχή, κάνοντας τον κόσμο ένα καλύτερο μέρος. Ήμουν πολύ τυχερός – η work μου είναι το πάθος μου. Ακόμη και μετά από δύο δεκαετίες με καθοδηγεί ακόμα η περιέργεια: τι είναι αυτό, πώς λειτουργεί και γιατί; Είμαι γοητευμένος από την τεχνολογία και μαθαίνω τόσα πολλά από τους ανθρώπους γύρω μου».
"My goal is to help each of our teams contribute as much as they can - to become part of something bigger. "It's more than just a job - it's an active part of the Kaspersky Lab community."
