Kaspersky touts APAC Transparency Center as proving 100% trustworthiness

Russian-based security vendor Kaspersky has announced the launch of a Transparency Center in Malaysia, marking the company's third global code review location.

CyberSecurity Malaysia's Office in Cyberjaya will host the new center, located at Menara Cyber Axis, alongside the country's cyber-related government agencies.


"It's great to be here in Kuala Lumpur -- in the heart of the Asia-Pacific region -- to announce the opening of our third Transparency Center," CEO Eugene Kaspersky said at the centre's launch.


"Here we intend to show customers and government stakeholders that our products are 100% trustworthy and ensure the highest level of cybersecurity protection. The launch also proves that the activities we planned under our pioneering Global Transparency Initiative remain on track."


According to Kaspersky, the Transparency Center in Malaysia, open to visitors from early 2020, will serve as a trusted facility for the company's partners and government stakeholders to come and check the source code of Kaspersky's solutions.




Kaspersky launched its first Transparency Center in Zurich, Switzerland in late 2018, and has since been touring the globe trying to claw back trust after the United States government publicly denounced support for the cybersecurity firm.


Another centre was also opened in Madrid, Spain in June this year.




Government regulators and enterprise clients of Kaspersky can request to review the company's solutions and services including threat analysis, secure review, and the application security testing process.


They can also review the source code of Kaspersky's consumer and enterprise solutions,  Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Endpoint Security, and Kaspersky Security Center, which is a console for the company's business products.
