Kaspersky Lab launches Securelist

April 2010 News & Events

Kaspersky Lab has announced the launch of an English version of its IT security website, Securelist.com.

The new site will contain all the latest information about the Internet threats are out there and how to avoid them. The site includes sections dedicated to analytical articles, blogs, an IT security encyclopedia and malware descriptions, as well as an extensive glossary of terms. Alexander Gostev, head of Kaspersky Lab’s Global Research & Analysis Team, has been named editor-in-chief of the site.

The Securelist portal evolved from Kaspersky Lab’s analytical website Viruslist.com. It features an enhanced blog with a system that gives visitors the opportunity to rate what they have read, as well as a system that automatically generates descriptions of any detected programs. A completely new section called Internal Threats has also been introduced to Securelist and should prove popular in the future.

“Securelist combines information about malware, spam and internal threats to create a resource that reflects the expert knowledge of some of the IT security industry’s leading specialists,” explains Gostev. “The explosive growth in the number and diversity of the threats we face these days necessitates that we get the information out quickly and offer serious analysis of the problem. At the same time, we have tried to move away from the heavy, academic style of Viruslist.com and create a more engaging, interactive site for our readers. Content on the site will not just come from our own analysts, but will include contributions from other industry specialists who possess extensive knowledge of the information security business.”

You can visit the new site at www.securelist.com
