Signals at Kaspersky
Cybersecurity Incident
AsiaKaspersky identified GoSerpent, a sophisticated state-linked cyber-espionage campaign targeting government and diplomatic organisations across Southeast Asia since at least 2021, using Go-based RAT with persistence mechanisms and deliberate dwell-time tactics for intelligence collection
Leadership read: A breach is a governance event before it is a technical one. For Kaspersky in Cybersecurity, the hiring consequence is rarely more engineers; it is senior accountability: security, risk and data governance reporting high enough to change decisions. Across Asia, watch whether the response is a hire or a contractor; that distinction says how the board has read it.
