    I haven’t trusted Kaspersky for a long time, ever since I read this interview.

    If you had the power to change up to three things in the world today that are related to IT security, what would they be?

    Internet design–that’s enough.

    That’s it? What’s wrong with the design of the Internet?

    There’s anonymity. Everyone should and must have an identification, or Internet passport. The Internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the U.S. military. That was just a limited group of people–hundreds, or maybe thousands. Then it was introduced to the public and it was wrong…to introduce it in the same way.

    I’d like to change the design of the Internet by introducing regulation–Internet passports, Internet police and international agreement–about following Internet standards. And if some countries don’t agree with or don’t pay attention to the agreement, just cut them off.

          Didn’t he used to be one of the good guys? I remember his antivirus software being very popular among the torrenting community in the early aughts.

      So what’s a better option in your opinion.

        For an antivirus? I’d say just defender & don’t open sketchy .exe files for Windows. Otherwise, Linux and don’t really worry about it. Keep regular backups either way and you can’t go too far wrong.

        For the design of the internet, I’d say the opposite of what Kaspersky wants lol

        Not OP, but for Enterprise Carbon Black. For personal home use, Windows Defender if you’re tech savvy, ESET NOD32 if you’re risk adverse or not careful.

          Crowdstrike Falcon is also quite solid for enterprise use.
