Frost & Sullivan evaluated companies through benchmarking focused on strategic effectiveness and execution.
Kaspersky said it received high marks based on its cybersecurity specialized for industrial environments, localized execution capabilities, and platform strategy spanning OT protection to broad IT and OT convergence support.
Kaspersky said it won Frost & Sullivan's '2026 Asia-Pacific Operational Technology (OT) Security Customer Value Leadership Award' and Frost & Sullivan's '2026 Asia-Pacific Converged IT and OT Security Products Leadership Award.' The awards were announced on the 27th.
Kaspersky explained that the latest recognition reflects its ability to apply an OT-native cybersecurity strategy for industrial organizations. It was also introduced by Frost & Sullivan as a 'leader in the Asia-Pacific OT security sector.'
Tesya Niihara, a director at Frost & Sullivan, said that in industrial settings, low asset visibility and disconnected security tools lead to delayed response times, reduced efficiency, and difficulty for security teams in identifying risks. He said Kaspersky delivers important value in such environments and noted that the company’s platform strategy integrates endpoint protection, anomaly detection, secure remote access, asset visibility, and centralized management.
Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity (KICS) provides endpoint protection, OT network monitoring, anomaly detection, secure remote access, and asset visibility. KICS also supports rebootless updates, precise alerts, portable scanning, and OT environment-aware features.
Adrian Hia, Kaspersky's head of Asia-Pacific, said the company has local teams and a certified partner ecosystem, and offers a model that allows organizations to start with visibility and expand to a full protection framework at their own pace. He said Frost & Sullivan's assessment shows the customer trust Kaspersky has built across markets and production sites in the APAC region.
