| All you need to know about digital immunity solutions from Kaspersky |
For decades, people have had a common practice when developing new technologies, that they build new technologies first and then look for security solutions to protect them after they've been attacked, but does this only happen if we do it securely first? ? In other words, the introduction of new technologies that were previously immune to cyberattacks will certainly revolutionize the field of cybersecurity!
This is the approach taken by Kaspersky, the leading company in the field of cyber security, as it has developed a new concept called (Digital Immunity) Cyber Immunity, which embodies an approach based on the principle of "embracing safety at the heart" based on "Designed for Safety".
Technology needs a strong digital immune system to defend against digital threats, just as humans need a strong immune system to protect against viruses and diseases, digital immunity is a simulation of the human adaptive immune system due to its ability to recognize itself and defend itself. invisible pathogens.
What is Kaspersky's concept of digital immunity?
Kaspersky has been working on a “security by design” approach since 2002, when they began thinking about a technology or solution that would make security a core feature of computer systems. It was said at the time: "Don't develop protection systems unless there is a threat.
In 2012, Kaspersky began actively developing an operating system called KasperskyOS, which launched in 2017 and is now a mainstay in implementing the "security by design" approach now known as digital immunity.
The essence of digital immunity is to use such a high level of protection by design that the cost of staging an attack exceeds the cost of potential harm.
Kaspersky's approach allows manufacturers to produce technology products that are inherently invulnerable and provide powerful protection against digital threats. Systems that rely on this method do not require antivirus software. Since they are so well protected, hacking them is very difficult and expensive.
Kaspersky offers a solution to develop a product based on digital immunity called (Kaspersky Cyber Immunity) based on the operating system (KasperskyOS) consisting of a small kernel called (Microkernel) and a module (Kaspersky Security System) consisting of standard protection and also allows developers to create solutions based on Digital immunity easily.
What's new in Kaspersky OS?
KasperskyOS is the first operating system ever to make computer products digitally invulnerable. It is almost impossible to hack these products because only a small percentage of the types of attacks on products that rely on digital immunity compromise their vital functions. Solutions supported by KasperskyOS do not need additional protection, everything you need is already in the system.
KasperskyOS provides flexibility in defining security policies: the rules that the system follows throughout its life cycle, preventing it from performing potentially dangerous operations, as it provides the interfaces and tools necessary to develop digital immunity solutions, including: separation from computer systems in components and control over their interactions.
Does KasperskyOS collect data?
KasperskyOS does not collect or share data, all drivers, system services and applications are removed from the kernel and isolated, and their behavior is strictly limited by security policies. Therefore, no component of the system may store or transmit data unless permitted by applicable regulations.
Kaspersky Digital Immunity solution:
Kaspersky offers 3 digital vaccination solutions, namely:
1- Internet of Things solutions:
Kaspersky offers Kaspersky IoT Infrastructure Security, the main component of which is a security gateway for the Internet of Things, which is an indispensable device for modern companies using IoT sensors and controllers.
KISG Gateway 100, the first digital immunity gate for the Internet of Things, is now available. It was voted Global Design of the Year 2020 at the 7th World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China.
2- Solutions for remote work environments:
The second solution, called (Kaspersky Secure Remote Workspace), creates a hosting and operation infrastructure for customers who rely on remote work technology based on KasperskyOS, where they need endpoints of the user's computer type to connect to the virtual desktop that provides the corporate infrastructure.
3- Smart car solutions:
The third solution is called (Kaspersky Auto Adaptive Platform), and its tools enable the creation of security solutions for many electronic control units in smart cars, including: communications, driver assistance systems, self-driving systems, and Wait Digital Cockpits.
Thanks to this platform, automakers can focus on the functionality of their products, because Kaspersky experts really care about security.
Kaspersky is developing a gateway called (Kaspersky Automotive Secure Gateway) - commonly known as (KASG) - based on the operating system (KasperskyOS) to secure Internet-connected cars.
The gateway can be installed on the IT unit (location and remote control) or on the vehicle's central unit with ARM computing architecture. The solution protects the vehicle from hacker attacks, enables secure updates of the portal itself and the vehicle's electronics via the Internet, and collects logs from the vehicle's internal network and sends them to the Security Monitoring Centre.
In particular, Kaspersky products based on digital immunity and the KasperskyOS operating system are in demand by a growing number of industries where computer systems are subject to the highest standards of digital security, reliability and predictability, such as b- manufacturing, energy, automotive and smart city systems.
Digital Immunity solutions help reduce the physical damage caused by security threats. Gartner predicts that by 2025, companies that invest in building digital resilience will increase customer satisfaction by reducing downtime by 80%.
