Abingdon, UK, 11 June 2013 - Kaspersky Lab has today revealed that children in the UK are attempting to access pornographic sites more than any other Parent Control restricted site. The company’s recent research reveals that in the first five months of 2013, over 23 per cent of UK children attempted to access a pornographic website. In second place, 19 per cent attempted to visit online stores with social networking sites rating third place with 16 per cent. The research also revealed that children in the UK attempted to access online gaming sites (5.94 per cent) and virtual chats and forums (4.84 per cent).Due to these risks and with the long summer holidays looming, Kaspersky Lab would like to remind parents that at this time of year children will not only be spending more time outside – they’ll be using the Internet more as well. The web is a source of useful information and knowledge during the school year, but when used without restrictions can be a dangerous environment for young web-surfers. Threats, varying from viruses to serious fraud, let alone content not intended for children’s eyes, can place your children – and even the whole family – in real

Abingdon, UK, 05 June 2013 - Businesses of all sizes – and especially smaller organisations – often find that deploying and controlling workstation and mobile device protection is not an easy task. In this situation, centralised management tools can help, but barely half of companies understand their potential. According to the results of a survey conducted by Kaspersky Lab, together with research agency B2B International in November 2012, only 52 per cent of companies worldwide use solutions which enable centralised management of their IT infrastructure.Modern corporate products include a wide range of protection technologies to secure specific nodes in a company’s IT infrastructure, such as workstations and mobile devices. At the same time, each of these nodes needs to be configured to meet business needs and the company’s established security policies. Centralised management tools can play a significant role in helping achieve this. But, according to B2B International, these tools are used by just half the companies surveyed worldwide. A mere 30 per cent of companies have fully implemented client management tools, while 29 per cent of those surveyed limited themselves to partial implementation, which is insufficient to effectively control workstations. Such solutions increase the infrastructure’s security levels, while significantly

Cloud technologies are an important element of modern security solutions, but cannot protect computers without the support of local security tools. So the best way is to use hybrid solutions that incorporate local anti-malware technologies and simultaneously interact with a cloud service. However, such solutions are chosen by just 21 per cent of companies, according to a study conducted by Kaspersky Lab in collaboration with B2B International.Hybrid solutions are most popular in large enterprises, with 29 per cent using hybrid security. However, such solutions remain unpopular among the majority of companies. According to the research, most respondents (51 per cent) prefer local solutions with no cloud assistance, and another 20 per cent choose cloud security tools.Malcolm Tuck, Managing Director at Kaspersky Lab UK & Ireland comments: “Today, the amount of malware is increasing exponentially: about 140 new threats appear every minute. It is already impossible to overcome them simply by using the traditional signature search method – new threats are emerging too fast for even regular updates to stay one step ahead. That is why security solution developers are working on combining proactive and cloud technologies. The former help detect unknown threats: the latter deliver protection from new threats as
