Kaspersky Lab
releases latest
Corporate Social
Responsibility Report
aspersky Lab has released
its latest Corporate Social
Responsibility Report,
profiling the company’s technological,
educational and charitable initiatives.
K
This year’s report explores the work
being done to promote gender equality
in the technology industry across
the globe and how Kaspersky Lab is
encouraging child education about
digital security. The report reflects how
the company is helping communities
grow and contributing to making the
world a better, and safer, place.
Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky
Lab, said: “In the 21 years of our
company’s history we’ve come a long
way – in many aspects. Corporate social
responsibility may not be the most
obvious one but it’s still very important
for the development of our corporate
culture. It’s also our contribution to
making the world outside our company’s
walls a safer, better place. We focus
on projects close to our line of work,
like providing access to free security
solutions or teaching kids about online
safety, but we also have projects to
ensure gender equality and to promote
STEM education.”

NEW FUNDING TO HELP DRIVE
DIVERSITY IN CYBERSECURITY
our new projects across
England aiming to
encourage more women,
BAME and neurodiverse candidates
into a career in cybersecurity have
been announced by Digital Minister
Margot James. They will each jointly
benefit from a total investment of at
least £500,000 as part of the next
round of the Cyber Skills Immediate
Impact Fund (CSIIF).
F
The aim of the fund is to boost
not only the total number, but the
diversity of those working in the
UK’s cybersecurity industry. It
will help organisations develop
and sustain projects that identify,
train and place untapped talent
from a range of backgrounds into
cybersecurity roles quickly.
Digital Minister Margot James said: “Our
cybersecurity industry is thriving but to
support this growing success we need
a skilled and diverse workforce to match.
“These latest projects show that
whatever your background, ethnicity or
sex, there are opportunities to join the
cybersecurity profession.”
The projects receiving funding are
Crucial Academy: Diversity in Cyber
Security, QA: Cyber Software Academy
for Women, Blue Screen IT: HACKED
and Hacker House Ltd: Hands on
Hacking, Training and Employer Portal.
