The Cyber Immunity concept developed by Kaspersky, alongside
its KasperskyOS operating system, is now a trademark. In March 2022, The United
States Patent and Trademark Office registered the KASPERSKY CYBER IMMUNITY
trademark. Having this trademark further reinforces Kaspersky's unique approach
within the IoT and connected devices market.
Cyber Immunity embodies the secure-by-design approach which
helps tackle cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the very early stages of software
development. The principles of security-by-design are outlined in regulators'
documents. For example, CSA Singapore covers it in Security-by-Design
Framework, and there is ETSI EN 303 645
V2.1.1 standard for consumer IoT devices. Software developers such
as AWS are
already adopting this approach for their services.
In addition to the registration in the U.S, Kaspersky has
also previously obtained it in the UK and Russia. The trademark registration
gives Kaspersky the exclusive right to use Kaspersky Cyber Immunity to identify
its products. It also confirms that the trademark has distinctive features
checked against specific criteria by national government agencies.
Kaspersky's Cyber Immunity concept implies that the
overwhelming majority of cyberattack types are ineffective and cannot affect a
system's critical functions in the usage scenarios specified at the design
stage. Cyber Immunity can be achieved by using KasperskyOS and following
certain methodology while creating a solution, such as defining security goals
and assumptions and ensuring they are accomplished in all usage scenarios, the
isolation of security domains and the control of interaction among them, and
the reliability of the solution's whole trusted computing base.
"Registering the Kaspersky Cyber Immunity trademark on an
international scale is the result of our consistent efforts to create a new
market for systems with built-in cyberthreat resistance," said Andrey
Suvorov, head of KasperskyOS Business Unit. "This recognition is important
for our team but also for market analysts and customers. From now on, the first
IoT gateway, Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 100, and all our upcoming
KasperskyOS-based products have a unique feature, recognized all over the
world. Kaspersky Cyber Immunity is an essential instrument for digital
transformation."
