On Friday 27th of May, I had the chance to sit down for an exclusive interview with Eugene Kaspersky. We discussed his work at AusCERT 2011, Kaspersky AV/IS 2012, the emerging mobile threats, the importance of choosing the right staff, company culture and much more.
One of the more interesting responses from Eugene was that Microsoft’s Security Essentials, available for free, has remarkably had almost no impact. He believes consumers recognise that free solutions don’t contain the technologies and features of a paid solution.
