Eugene Kaspersky Biography

Eugene Kaspersky is one of the most popular and richest Computer Scientist who was born on October 4, 1965 in Novorossiysk, Russia. Kaspersky was born October 4, 1965, in Novorossiysk, Soviet Union. He was raised near Moscow and moved to Moscow when he was nine years old. He was the son of an engineer, and his mother an archivist in the past. As a youngster, he developed an early fascination with mathematics and technology. Kaspersky spent his time reading math textbooks and took second place in a math contest at the age of fourteen. When he turned 14, Kaspersky began attending A.N. Kolmogorov the boarding school that is managed through Moscow University and specializes in math. The student was also part of the youth section in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Kaspersky’s passion for IT security started around 1989 when the personal computer was infected with the Cascade virus when he was in the Ministry of Defense. He researched how the virus operated and devised an application to get rid of it. In the following years, he discovered new viruses and created software to eliminate them as a pastime. In the beginning, Kaspersky’s antivirus software included just 40 virus definitions . It was mostly distributed to close friends.

In 1991, Kaspersky was granted an early release from his military service and left the defense ministry to take a job at the Information Technology Center of a private company KAMI, in order to work on his antivirus product full- time. There, he and his colleagues improved the software and released it as a product called Antiviral Toolkit Pro in 1992. At first the software was purchased by about ten clients per month. It earned about $100 per month, mostly from companies in Ukraine and Russia. Kaspersky’s then-future wife Natalya Kaspersky became his coworker at KAMI.

In 1994, Hamburg University in Germany gave Kaspersky’s software first place in a competitive analysis of antivirus software. This led to more business for Kaspersky from European and American companies. Kaspersky Lab was founded three years later by Kaspersky, his wife and Kaspersky’s friend. Natalya, who pushed Eugene to start the company, was the CEO, while Eugene was the head of research. The following year, the CIH virus (AKA the Chernobyl virus) created a boon for Kaspersky’s anti-virus products, which Kaspersky said was the only software at the time that could cleanse the virus. According to Wired, “their software was advanced for the time.” For example, it was the first software to monitor viruses in an isolated quarantine.

Kaspersky has graduated from The Technical Faculty of the KGB Higher School in 1987 with the degree of mathematical engineering along with computer engineering. His passion for IT security started after his computer at work was infected with Cascade virus back in the year 1989. the program he created was designed to get rid of the virus. Kaspersky was instrumental in the development of Kaspersky Lab by conducting the research into security and through salesmanship. He was named chief executive in the year 2007 and is until 2020.

Kaspersky Lab has defended itself against allegedly frivolous patent claims more aggressively than most IT companies. In 2012, it was the only one of 35 firms named in a suit by patent troll Information Protection and Authentication (IPAC) to take the case to court, rather than pay a fee. The case was ruled in Kaspersky’s favor. Also in 2012, another company, Lodsys, sued Kaspersky and 54 other companies for patent infringement, and that case also resulted in the claimant dropping the case against Kaspersky. According to an article in TechWorld, the company’s aversion to settling these claims is most likely because Eugene “just hates” patent trolls. In his blog he called them “parasites” and “IT racketeers.”
