Frost & Sullivan recognizes Kaspersky for its ability to align cybersecurity strategy with the evolving needs of industrial organizations through a unified, OT-native approach. The recognition highlights Kaspersky’s strength in combining purpose-built industrial cybersecurity, localized execution, partner-led delivery, and a platform strategy supporting organizations from foundational OT protection to broader IT/OT convergence, a press release said.
“Kaspersky demonstrates customer ownership excellence through a platform strategy built around completeness rather than isolated point capabilities. A unified approach is central to this value proposition, integrating endpoint protection, anomaly detection, secure remote access, asset visibility, and centralized management. This coherent operational model is especially valuable in industrial environments where low asset awareness and disconnected tools can slow response times, reduce efficiency, and leave security teams with an incomplete view of risks,” said Tetsuya Niihara, Director at Frost & Sullivan.
Kaspersky’s industrial cybersecurity strategy addresses legacy systems, heterogeneous architectures, stringent uptime requirements, and expanding cyber-physical attack surfaces. Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity (KICS) combines endpoint protection, OT network monitoring, anomaly detection, and asset visibility, while its Open Single Management Platform enables centralized oversight and cross-domain threat correlation. AI-driven capabilities, behavioral analytics, automated alert summarization, and KIRA further support investigation and response.
“APAC is where the world’s industrial future is being built, and it is also where the diversity of cybersecurity maturity is greatest: Advanced manufacturers and first-time OT security adopters often operate in the same supply chain. Kaspersky’s role in this region has been to make enterprise-grade industrial protection genuinely accessible across that entire spectrum through local teams, a certified partner ecosystem, and an adoption model that lets organizations start with visibility and scale to full protection at their own pace. Frost & Sullivan’s recognition reflects the trust we have earned plant by plant, market by market, across APAC,” said Adrian Hia, Managing Director, APAC at Kaspersky.
“Kaspersky’s approach stands out for bringing together comprehensive OT protection, visibility, and management while maintaining the operational discipline required in industrial environments. By connecting KICS with its broader IT security capabilities, the company provides customers with a more unified view of risk across traditionally siloed environments, helping strengthen both security effectiveness and operational efficiency,” said Rajarshi Dhar, Associate Director, Security Advisory Practice at Frost & Sullivan.
