Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) has led the discovery of sophisticated espionage platforms conducted by nations, such as Equation Group and the Stuxnet worm, uncovering large-scale and highly technical cyber espionage attempts. For the 8th year in a row, Kaspersky has demonstrated exceptional results across enterprise, small business, and consumer cybersecurity tests, earning four SE Labs Security Awards in 2026, highlighting the company's products' high efficiency for various markets.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The company grew to $822 million in annual revenues by 2024. In April 2026, Kaspersky reported 2025 financial results driving revenue to $836 million. However, since September 2024, Kaspersky is completely banned from operating in the United States, with Americans no longer receiving critical security updates. Despite this geographic constraint, the company maintains strong product performance and global market presence.
