Kaspersky Lab plans to bring solutions based on KasperskyOS to the Malaysian market. The company is in talks with Malaysia’s largest automaker Proton to implement a solution to protect against remote attacks and hacking.
The company also plans to create joint solutions based on KasperskyOS with IT companies in the Malaysian market. Andrey Suvorov, KasperskyOS business development director, told Vedomosti about this.
Kaspersky Lab’s decision to enter the Malaysian market with automotive gateways is strategically correct, says Sergey Burgazliev, an independent automotive industry consultant. The number of cyberattacks and other interventions in the electronic systems of cars is growing every year, while the development of information security solutions by suppliers of automotive equipment and software does not keep pace with hacker technologies, he explained.
In Russia, according to him, even in the next 4-5 years, such solutions from the company will not be in demand, since the local auto industry, with the exception of trucks, is in decline, and Chinese manufacturers are unlikely to allow russian software. to be installed in your cars.
- In 2022, Kaspersky Lab announced plans to develop a security system for smart cars: Kaspersky Automotive Secure Gateway (KASG) based on the KasperskyOS operating system. It can be installed in the telematics or central unit of a car with ARM architecture.
- Kaspersky Lab’s development will target a wide range of car manufacturers, including those that produce up to 1 million cars a year. These companies often lack cybersecurity competencies.
