Top Transformation Champions: Building citadel for a secure digital enterprise

Amir Kanaan, Managing Director, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, Kaspersky.

Cybersecurity, along with compliance and data usage, has become a key strategic priority and one of the main pillars of any digital transformation initiative. Enterprises may fail or stall due to the lack of security, IT security team under-staffing, and a lack of high-level expertise.

The world is faced with too many security incidents to process, analyse, triage, and respond to effectively within a limited timeframe. Trust and data sharing compliance issues increase as digital infrastructure broadens in scope. Enterprises also suffer from a lack of visibility and evidence collection challenges during post-breach analysis.

Today, top executives across the world are facing the most sophisticated contemporary cyber threats. To deal with it, businesses must adapt to ongoing challenges. However, in a changing threat environment, the security operations centres are not fully equipped with advanced technologies or powered with threat intelligence, and most importantly staffed by professionals equipped with the necessary knowledge and expertise.

A Security Operations Centre or SOC is the most important and successful part of the digital and business transformation process that is equipped with technologies, security intelligence and knowledge that help it to adapt to the ongoing challenges in a changing threat environment.

With over two decades of constant threat research and experience in complex cybersecurity projects, Kaspersky can power enterprise SOC at every level for greater efficiency in fighting increasingly sophisticated threats.

Cyber Immunity lies at the heart of Kaspersky’s immunity-based approach that enables the creation of IT systems capable of performing their functions in an aggressive environment without additional and applied security features.

Most intelligent systems today are designed without security being considered a primary goal. The use of vulnerable software in cyber-physical systems, which are multiplying, creates a situation where cyber threats increasingly endanger the safety of humans in the physical world.

Kaspersky decided to change this: the company’s specialists created a concept for designing IT systems with innate immunity.

Cyber Immunity can help create IT systems that are inherently secure and safe. An information system can be said to be immune when most types of cyberattacks directed at it proves ineffective and cannot impact the key functions envisioned during the design phase.


Key takeaways

  • There are too many security incidents to process, analyse, triage, and respond to effectively within a limited timeframe.
  • Enterprises suffer from a lack of visibility and evidence collection challenges during post-breach analysis.
  • The SOC is equipped with technologies and security intelligence to deal with changing threat environments.
  • Kaspersky’s immunity-based approach helps enterprises operate freely without the need for additional security features.
