Kaspersky cybersecurity industry insights and tools

Overview

Kaspersky has introduced the Cyber Risk Heatmap, a free online assessment tool designed to help businesses evaluate their cybersecurity posture. The tool uses a questionnaire to identify vulnerabilities across six critical risk areas, providing users with a personalized heatmap and a PDF report containing recommendations for prioritizing security initiatives.

In a separate report, a Kaspersky survey of 1,800 professionals across 18 countries found that 75% of global companies plan to boost their IT security capabilities within the next year. The study indicates that 99% of organizations now view IT security as a core business function, with high intent to increase measures among large enterprises in sectors such as manufacturing, IT, and finance. However, the report warns that a significant shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals remains a critical bottleneck, with some companies reporting hiring processes for experts that exceed six months.
