Nowadays, cybersecurity has become a paramount concern for organizations of all sizes and industries. As cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and sophistication, businesses are increasingly turning to cybersecurity vendors for innovative solutions to safeguard their sensitive data. However, in the ever-changing world of cybersecurity, no single vendor can tackle these challenges alone. That's where strategic partnerships come into play. Following its recent Global Partner Conference in Budapest, Kaspersky unveils insights into partnerships in cybersecurity from the partners themselves.

More than three quarters (85%) of geo-distributed companies using container development methods experienced cybersecurity incidents in the last 12 months according to the latest Kaspersky study. These organizations, who used containers and/ or Kubernetes, faced a wide range of cyber incidents with catastrophic results including confidential data leaks (39% ), financial losses (38% ), and decreased customer trust (34% ).

Kaspersky has identified ransomware attacks using Microsoft’s BitLocker to attempt encryption of corporate files. The threat actors remove the recovery options to prevent the files from being restored and use a malicious script with a new feature: it can detect specific Windows versions and enable the BitLocker according to the Windows version. The incidents with this ransomware, dubbed “ShrinkLocker”, and its variants were observed in Mexico, Indonesia, and Jordan. The perpetrators targeted companies in steel and vaccine manufacturing, and a government entity.

In the ongoing battle against cyber threats, Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) uncovers three new stealers: Acrid, ScarletStealer, and an evolved form of Sys01. These findings are detailed in the latest report, shedding light on the evolving tactics of cybercriminals.

Fifty nine percent of geo-distributed businesses experienced network problems related to their multi-site structure at least once a month, Kaspersky has found. Among the most common challenges named were network outages, lost connections and poor performance of services and applications.

In its new Sustainability report for H2 2022 and 2023, Kaspersky reveals the key results of the company’s sustainable development initiatives and projects in the respective period. The report encompasses five strategic areas identified as the company's ESG priorities: namely safer cyberworld, future tech, safer planet, people empowerment, and ethics and transparency.

A large number of companies around the world have introduced strict security policies that do not allow cloud cybersecurity training solutions due to their infrastructure, regulation and compliance, or levels of confidentiality. To help these customers enhance the cybersecurity skills of their employees, Kaspersky has introduced an on-premises model of its award-winning Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform (ASAP). With the power to operate without the use of the internet, the platform offers companies full control over their data and infrastructure.

In 2023, more than 1/5 of cyberattacks persisted for over a month, the annual Kaspersky Incident Response 2023 report has revealed, with trusted relationships emerging as one of the main attack vectors in these prolonged cases. The report draws on the results of Kaspersky's cyberattack investigations throughout the year, gathered when supporting organizations seeking incident response assistance or when hosting expert events for their internal incident response teams.
