"Eugene Kaspersky" is a Russian specialist in the information security field. He heads the global Computer security/IT security company Kaspersky Lab, which was established in 1997 based upon previous work developing antivirus technologies. He has written articles on computer virus/computer virology and speaks regularly at security seminars and conferences. Kaspersky Lab now operates in almost 200 countries; with more than 30 regional and country offices worldwide, it is the world's largest privately held vendor of software security products.
