https://www.kaspersky.com/about/press-re...-in-bogota Kaspersky strengthens trustworthiness commitment with new Transparency Center in Bogotá
November 14, 2024
Kaspersky today announced the opening of its new Transparency Center in Bogotá, Colombia, reinforcing its commitment to trust and transparency in the region. Launched within the framework of Kaspersky’s signature Global Transparency Initiative (GTI), the center will provide visitors with services ranging from an overview of the company’s transparency practices to its source code review, further demonstrating the integrity of Kaspersky’s solutions and practices.
Kaspersky’s GTI highlights its commitment to enhance trust in the company’s solutions and help its partners and customers mitigate supply chain risks with confidence. Launched in 2017, the initiative aims to comprehend the “black box” of cybersecurity technology engaging with stakeholders and the broader community in verifying the trustworthiness of the company’s products, internal processes, and business operations. As part of the GTI development, Kaspersky is the first cybersecurity vendor to open its source code for external review.
The new Transparency Center will work on the premises of Kaspersky’s new office in Bogotá, established in August 2024 with the view to further strengthen the company’s presence in the country and the region. The facility in Bogotá becomes the company’s second center in the region in addition to the one in São Paulo, Brazil, opened in 2019.
Just as at the São Paulo center, visitors of the Bogotá center will be able to choose one of three review options for their visit, depending on the depth of security assessment needed:
· “Blue piste” offers a general overview of the security development processes of Kaspersky products and services, as well as its data management practices;
· “Red piste” allows for a review of the most critical aspects of source code, assisted by the company’s specialists, and provides a targeted analysis of a particular functionality;
· “Black piste” enables visitors to conduct the most comprehensive and thorough source code reviews, with the help of Kaspersky’s experts.
During a Transparency Center visit, guests can also examine the company’s secure software development documentation, which includes threat analysis, secure code review, application security testing processes, and the Software Bill of Materials.
"Kaspersky is proud to strengthen its commitment to transparency and trust for customers, business partners, and local regulators in Bogotá with the launch of the company’s Transparency Center in the country," said Daniela Alvarez de Lugo, General Manager for NOLA at Kaspersky. "Expanding our presence in Colombia reinforces our constant dedication to openness, allowing stakeholders to examine our products, practices and processes, and fostering greater confidence in our cybersecurity solutions."
Leading the cybersecurity industry in transparency efforts, Kaspersky currently employs 150 staff across the Latin American region, including local members of the Global Research and Analysis Team who analyze and counter cybersecurity threats on the continent, further fostering trust through secure infrastructure and transparency-focused services.
In addition to Transparency Centers, since its launch, Kaspersky’s GTI also introduced additional mechanisms to enhance digital trust and promote greater accountability in the cybersecurity field. These include the relocation of cyberthreat-related data storage and processing to Zurich, Switzerland; independent third-party reviews of internal processes and engineering practices, for instance the recently renewed SOC 2 audit; the launch of a security training Cyber Capacity Building Program; increasing bug bounty rewards up to US$100k (for the most critical vulnerabilities found in Kaspersky’s products). It also includes the releasing of Transparency Reports, which consist of two parts, and reveal information on requests received from government and law enforcement agencies, and users for their personal data.
