Kaspersky Cyber Immunity Becomes Trademark in United States

The Cyber Immunity concept established by Kaspersky alongside its KasperskyOS operating system is now a trademark. The KASPERSKY CYBER IMMUNITY trademark was registered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in March 2022. Having this trademark supports Kaspersky’s distinct approach in the IoT and linked devices markets.
Cyber Immunity encapsulates the secure-by-design method, which aids in the early detection of cybersecurity flaws in software development. The principles of security-by-design are stated in regulatory publications. For example, CSA Singapore addresses it in its Security-by-Design Framework, and there is an ETSI EN 303 645 V2.1.1 standard for consumer IoT devices. AWS and other software developers are already using this method for their services.
In addition to the registration in the U.S, Kaspersky has also previously obtained it in the UK and Russia. The trademark registration gives Kaspersky the exclusive right to use Kaspersky Cyber Immunity to identify its products. It also confirms that the trademark has distinctive features checked against specific criteria by national government agencies.
According to Kaspersky’s Cyber Immunity concept, the vast majority of cyberattack types are unsuccessful and cannot affect the vital functionality of a system under the usage scenarios established during the design stage. Cyber Immunity can be achieved by using KasperskyOS and adhering to certain methodologies when developing a solution, such as defining security goals and assumptions and ensuring they are met in all usage scenarios, isolating security domains and controlling interaction among them, and ensuring the solution’s entire trusted computing base is reliable.
