Kaspersky Lab to Offer Free Security Protection on LinkedIn Safety Center

ABINGDON, England, May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Kaspersky Lab [http://www.kaspersky.com ] is today announcing that it is offering free
security protection software available on the LinkedIn Safety Centre
[http://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/37023/m/s ], providing users with an
easily accessible and secure way to protect themselves online. The LinkedIn Safety Centre
is designed to provide LinkedIn's more than 225 million members with the tools and
knowledge to protect their identity and data on the Internet. In support of the
initiative, Kaspersky Lab is offering a free 90-day trial of Kaspersky Internet Security
2013 [http://www.kaspersky.com/internet-security ] and Kaspersky Security for Mac as part
of the Safety Center [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-mac ].

    The amount of malicious activity on social networking sites has been dramatically
increasing each year as cybercriminals identify new ways to infect users. According to
Kaspersky Lab data
[https://www.securelist.com/en/analysis/204792244/The_geography_of_cybercrime_Western_Europe_and_North_America ]
, in the first half of 2012, 80 percent of all compromised computers
were attacked while browsing the web. Additionally, in 2012, phishers' top targets were
social networking sites (24.5 percent
[https://www.securelist.com/en/analysis/204792276/Kaspersky_Security_Bulletin_Spam_Evolution_2012 ]
). To reflect this growing trend, Kaspersky Lab has expanded its efforts to
increase online security through offer agreements with established social networking
organisations, such as LinkedIn.

    Steve Orenberg, President at Kaspersky Lab, North America commented, "As the threat
landscape continues to target social networking users, Kaspersky Lab is making a concerted
effort to integrate its research, security intelligence and technology solutions with
established social networking organisations. By working with LinkedIn, Kaspersky Lab will
be at the forefront to both educate and equip their users with the most secure internet
security solutions."
