Kaspersky Lab sets anti-virus database updates in Azerbaijan
“Kaspersky Lab" and Delta Telecom, the main operator of Azerbaijan, have signed a cooperation agreement, whereby all updates of the company's protective solutions are now sent to Azerbaijani users from the national servers of the largest Internet provider in the region.
This approach simplifies and accelerates the delivery of information about new cyber threats to antivirus databases. Thanks to this, users in Azerbaijan can be sure that they are protected from the most pressing dangers of the digital world. All updates are downloaded automatically in the background, without affecting the performance of user devices.
Every day Kaspersky Lab specialists process more than 300,000 new samples of malicious software, which indicates the extremely rapid evolution of cyberthreats. This trend is confirmed by the growth in the number of users, who face certain types of digital threats.
Over the past 12 months the number of Azerbaijani users facing cyberthreats increased from 77 percent (in July 2016) to 83 percent (in July 2017), according to the internal statistics of Kaspersky Lab, obtained with the cloud security infrastructure of Kaspersky Security Network (KSN).
“The quality of the services and solutions we offer to our customers is an absolute priority for us,” said Rufat Talibov, the head of the Data Processing Department of Delta Telecom company.
“We are constantly working to improve the technologies, develop the infrastructure and in every possible way try to improve the level of services. Cooperation with Kaspersky Lab is an important step in this direction. Unification of our resources and capabilities will undoubtedly allow Azerbaijani users to get maximum benefits from high technologies.”
Representative of Kaspersky Lab in Azerbaijan Mushvig Mammadov said that they are striving not just to protect users from all the diversity of cyberthreats, but they want to make the digital world to more comfortable and calm.
“We are glad that the leading Internet provider in Azerbaijan, Delta Telecom shares our desire. I am confident that cooperation will have a positive impact on the development of the information technology market in the country,” he said.
