On his first visit to Lebanon, Russian cybersecurity magnate Eugene Kaspersky divided his time between discussions with ministries, long-time banking clients, and visits to the country’s famed archeological sites. In between, he took time to sit down with a few media entities. In an interview that was arranged as a joint meeting of Kaspersky with Arabic-language business magazine Al Iktissad Wal Amal(AIWA) and Executive, he answered Executive’s questions about the next big threats in cyberspace and the company’s interaction with the Lebanese market. Responding to a question from AIWA at the onset of the interview, Kaspersky explains that he was pleased to meet ministry officials in Lebanon who understand the importance of cybersecurity, and agree on the need to advance cybersecurity and related education, not only in areas of traditional computer systems and smartphones, but also in the realms of industries, the internet of things (IoT), infrastructure, and physical systems.
