Eugene Kaspersky biography
Eugene Kaspersky is one of the most recognized figures in global cybersecurity — a self-made entrepreneur, technologist, and threat intelligence pioneer who turned a personal encounter with a computer virus in 1989 into one of the world’s largest cybersecurity companies. As co-founder and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, he leads an organization that protects over 70 million consumers and serves businesses, governments, and critical infrastructure operators across more than 200 countries, generating $836 million in revenue in 2025.
Cybersecurity speaker Eugene Kaspersky built his career on a conviction that has defined the industry: that understanding the adversary in depth is the only reliable foundation for defense. His team at Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) has been responsible for uncovering some of the most sophisticated state-sponsored cyberattacks ever documented — including Stuxnet, the Equation Group, and the DuneQuixote campaign — establishing Kaspersky as a world authority in advanced persistent threat research. Kaspersky himself trained in mathematical engineering and cryptology at the KGB Higher School in Moscow, giving him a technical foundation few security executives can match.
Under his leadership, Kaspersky Lab has evolved far beyond its antivirus origins. The company now offers endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), industrial cybersecurity for operational technology environments, AI-powered SIEM, managed detection and response services, and KasperskyOS — a proprietary secure operating system now deployed in commercial thin clients internationally. Enterprise sales grew 21% in 2025, with the flagship Kaspersky Next platform recording 158% year-on-year growth. The company’s industrial cybersecurity division, protecting critical infrastructure from power plants to manufacturing networks, grew 25% in the same period.
A Global Voice on the Cyber Threat Landscape
Kaspersky has long positioned himself as a vocal advocate for international cooperation against cybercrime. He has called for a multilateral cyberwarfare treaty that would prohibit government-sponsored attacks on civilian infrastructure, and has spoken at major forums worldwide on the need for cross-border collaboration among governments, industry, and law enforcement. His annual Security Analyst Summit (SAS) has become one of the premier gatherings for elite threat researchers globally.
His company has operated in a complex geopolitical environment, particularly since 2017 when U.S. federal agencies restricted its use on government networks, a decision the company has consistently contested. Despite these headwinds, Kaspersky Lab has demonstrated sustained resilience — growing revenues, expanding into new markets, and deepening its enterprise and industrial security portfolio. As a speaker, Eugene Kaspersky brings authoritative, frontline perspective to the cyber threats reshaping business, government, and critical infrastructure. Audiences gain a rare inside view of how nation-state attacks are detected, how threat intelligence is built at scale, and what the next generation of cyber risk looks like for leaders who cannot afford to be caught unprepared.

Eugene Kaspersky Keynote Topics
Drawing from Kaspersky Lab's unparalleled threat intelligence archive — including the discovery of Stuxnet, the Equation Group, and dozens of other advanced persistent threat campaigns — Eugene Kaspersky gives audiences an authoritative, first-hand account of how the world's most sophisticated cyberattacks are constructed, how they are detected, and what organizations can do to harden themselves against threats that most security tools were not designed to stop.
Critical Infrastructure Under Siege: Securing the Systems That Run the World
Power grids, water systems, manufacturing networks, and transportation infrastructure are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals and nation-state actors. Kaspersky — whose industrial cybersecurity division protects operational technology environments globally — outlines the specific vulnerabilities that make critical infrastructure uniquely exposed, the attack patterns that are emerging, and the strategies organizations must deploy to protect systems where failure is not an option.
AI is simultaneously the most powerful tool available to cybersecurity defenders and the most dangerous accelerant available to attackers. In this forward-looking keynote, Kaspersky examines how adversaries are already using AI to accelerate malware development, automate phishing, and evade detection — and how AI-powered security platforms are being built to match and exceed those capabilities. Essential viewing for any organization navigating the next frontier of digital risk.
The internet was built without borders, but geopolitics is redrawing them in real time — and the implications for global business are profound. Kaspersky offers a candid, informed analysis of how cyber conflict between nation-states is escalating, how regulatory fragmentation is creating new compliance challenges, and why the only viable long-term response to cyber risk is coordinated international action. A rare perspective from someone who has operated at the intersection of technology, intelligence, and global policy for over three decades.

What major cyberattacks has Eugene Kaspersky's team uncovered?
Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) has been responsible for exposing some of the most significant cyber espionage operations ever documented. These include Stuxnet — the pioneering industrial malware that targeted Iran's nuclear program — the Equation Group, widely considered the most sophisticated state-linked threat actor ever analyzed, and Flame, a complex surveillance platform. More recently, GReAT exposed DuneQuixote, a stealthy campaign targeting intellectual property in the technology and energy sectors, and SparkCat, the first OCR-based infostealer found on the iOS App Store. This track record of discovery has cemented Kaspersky Lab's reputation as a world leader in advanced threat intelligence.
What is KasperskyOS?
KasperskyOS is a proprietary secure operating system developed by Kaspersky Lab, designed from the ground up with security as its core architectural principle rather than an add-on layer. Unlike conventional operating systems, KasperskyOS is built on a microkernel architecture with strict isolation between components, making it extremely resistant to exploits. Originally developed for industrial and IoT environments, it is now deployed commercially in thin client hardware and is being expanded to other embedded and critical infrastructure use cases. For Kaspersky, it represents the company's evolution from software to a full-stack secure technology provider.
What topics does cybersecurity speaker Eugene Kaspersky cover?
Eugene Kaspersky speaks on the cyber threats that matter most to senior leaders: state-sponsored attacks and advanced persistent threats, the security of critical infrastructure, the evolving ransomware landscape, cybersecurity strategy for the C-suite, the geopolitics of cyber conflict, and the case for international cooperation in combating cybercrime. He also addresses AI's dual role as both a threat accelerant and a defense tool. His keynotes are tailored for executive, government, and technical audiences and draw directly from Kaspersky Lab's global threat intelligence operations.
