2. Product idea
• Company’s mission: Protec5on for all customers, regardless of
pla:orm
• New product for consumer product por:olio
• Kaspersky An5 Virus is there to strengthen Mac security for users
that realise the value of the data on their PCs to cybercriminals
• We are only adding protec5on where there is an iden5fied
significant benefit over the standard Apple security
3. What is the need
• Apple have done an adequate job of soIware security for a non-‐
specialist company
• Users have benefited from the rela5ve obscurity of Macs compared
to PCs making them a less lucra5ve target for cybercriminals
• Apple’s success in growing market share has been reflected with
increased interest from cybercriminals
• It’s Kaspersky’s business to understand the techniques of
cybercriminals and protect our customers, we are very good at it.
5. The threat
• PC + Macintosh = good connec5vity
• Your Apple Macintosh may not be damaged by
some malware, although it may slow your Mac
down
• But... you can s5ll pass on problems to users of
other types of computers
• Sharing resources or communica5ng with you could
endanger their systems
