Why choose Kaspersky

Product roadmap and 2025-2026 differentiation

Kaspersky is operated by AO Kaspersky Lab (founder Eugene Kaspersky) out of Moscow, Russia with global operations in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Singapore, and the team continues to invest in the catalogue that subscribers care about most. The latest roadmap milestone — kaspersky was banned for new us consumer sales in 2024 under a commerce department determination — gives buyers a concrete reason to evaluate Kaspersky now rather than waiting for the next refresh cycle.

Feature breadth that matters

Beyond the headline, Kaspersky ships Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection powered by WireGuard and OpenVPN tunnels, Smart Home Monitor that flags unknown devices on the local network and Privacy and Identity tools with data-breach monitoring and webcam controls. This depth matters because teams rarely buy a single capability — they need a system that absorbs adjacent jobs over time without forcing a vendor switch.

Security audits and transparency

Kaspersky operates Transparency Centers in Zurich, Madrid, Kuala Lumpur, São Paulo, Singapore and Tokyo, holds SOC 2 Type II attestation and undergoes regular AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives certifications.

Kaspersky pricing in 2026

The current ladder for Kaspersky ranges from Kaspersky Standard ($29.99 first year) up to Kaspersky Free / Security Cloud Free ($0 (limited)). The anchor paid tier most teams compare is Kaspersky Standard at Kaspersky Plus at $39.99 first year, sourced from the public Kaspersky pricing page.
