Medvedev visited Kaspersky Lab

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited Kaspersky Lab, a company specializing in the production of computer-based antivirus protection.

A tour of the laboratory for the president was conducted by the head of the company, Yevgeny Kaspersky, who on June 12 became the winner of the state prize in the field of science and technology. Kaspersky said that he plans to use the award for charity, and not for the development of his company. The monetary part of the prize is 5 million rubles - it transfers to the boarding school.

Medvedev was shown the work of several departments of Kaspersky Lab. In particular, the head of state went to the server room, which automatically analyzes new viruses, stores initial software tests, and sends out updates to anti-viruses worldwide. There is also a system for recording legal users of Kaspersky Lab's software products.
