An always-on web service, it is understood that it has access to several petabytes of global security intelligence data that is updated almost in real-time according to Kaspersky’s description.

The analysis showed that when security researchers requested additional details of a suspicious object, 72 per cent of cases turned out to be malicious and could put corporate security at risk if not investigated.
