Kaspersky Lab North America Wins Silver in Best in Biz Awards 2016

Media and analyst firms name Kaspersky Lab “Medium-sized Company of the Year” following steadfast growth and customer commitment

Woburn, MA – November 30, 2016 – Kaspersky Lab has been named a Silver winner of the “Company of the Year – Medium” category in the Best in Biz Awards, the only independent business awards program judged by members of the press and industry analysts.

“Kaspersky Lab is honored to receive the Best in Biz Award for Medium-sized Company of the Year,” said Angelo Gentile, executive vice president, finance and operations at Kaspersky Lab North America. “The company’s substantial growth over more than ten years is a testament to its successful strategy, employee culture and commitment to serving customers and partners in North America. We look forward to continuing to build on the company’s successes in 2017 and beyond.”

Now in its sixth year, the Best in Biz Awards recognizes companies for their business success. More than 600 entries were garnered from public and private companies of all sizes, industries and geographic regions in the U.S. and Canada. Winners were determined based on scoring from an independent panel of 50 judges from newspapers, business, consumer and technology publications, TV outlets and analyst firms. This year’s panel included representatives from Associated Press, CNET, Computerworld, Entrepreneur, eWeek, Channel Insider, Forbes, Inc., Information Week, InfoWorld, Network World, Wall Street Journal, Wired, ZDNet and more.

“If companies are going to stand out from the crowd and remain competitive in future years, innovation is key. The market is tough and there is no guarantee that today’s dominant players will remain so — unless time and effort are concentrated on research and development,” said Charlie Osborne, ZDNet, one of Best in Biz Awards’ judges this year. “This year’s entries in Best in Biz Awards highlighted not only innovative business practices but the emergence of next-generation technologies which will keep companies current and relevant.”

Kaspersky Lab North America was named the Silver winner of the “Company of the Year – Medium” category due to its steadfast growth of business operations in the region. Today, the company operates in 200 countries and territories, providing protection for over 400 million users worldwide and more than 270,000 businesses. Kaspersky Lab has grown to become one of the world’s largest privately owned cybersecurity companies.
