India high on agenda of cyber security firm Kaspersky

India is high on the agenda of Russia-based global cyber security solutions provider Kaspersky as industrial units in the country are expected to go in for greater automation and hence get exposed to bigger cyber threats that may disrupt the operations of critical infrastructure.

These views were expressed by top officials of the Kaspersky attending the three-day conference on Industrial Cyber Security here.

“India is in a very great stage of development and is of great importance to Kaspersky,” said Vladimir Dashchenko, ICS CERT Vulnerability Research, Kaspersky.

He argued that as more and more companies would increase their dependence on IT, they would need to take adequate steps to guard against disruptions caused by cyber attacks.
