The new office is the 34th representative division of the company
May 05, 2015
Kaspersky Lab, the largest Russian player in the global IT security market segment, announced earlier this month that it has added Singapore to its ever-expanding worldwide network of offices
The offices of Kaspersky Lab, the world’s largest privately held vendor of endpoint protection solutions, are now located in 31 countries on five continents.
The new office in Singapore will oversee national business development and will become the future focal point for the company’s R&D in the region. Eventually it will also become the regional HQ, acting as a business hub for the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Singapore is the location of Interpol’s newly opened Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI), with which Kaspersky Lab is working closely. The company will provide the world’s largest international police organization with its top-level threat intelligence, provide regular updates on the global malware landscape, assist in investigations of cyber-incidents, and train officers.
Concurrent with the new office opening, Kaspersky Lab has begun cooperation with the Singapore Economic Development Board in welcoming Singaporean students to participate in an internship at the global headquarters of the company.
Commenting on the latest development, chairman and CEO Eugene Kaspersky said that, "Singapore is one of the most technologically developed countries in the world, while at the same time one of the main financial hubs on the planet. A strong presence here is simply essential for a successful international company. What’s also important is that the Singapore government fully understands the importance of cybersecurity and creates perfect conditions for a business like ours."
