Move over Linux – Kaspersky launches new operating system
Kaspersky has unveiled its new operating system, called Kaspersky OS.
The OS has been in development for 14 years and makes its debut on a Kraftway Layer 3 Switch.
“This unassuming black box is a protected layer 3 switch powered by Kaspersky OS and designed for networks with extreme requirements for data security,” said Kaspersky.
The company said the OS has “no Linux” in it and was designed from scratch.
“All the popular operating systems aren’t designed with security in mind, so it’s simpler and safer to start from the ground up and do everything correctly.”
Kaspersky OS is based on microkernel architecture and can be custom-designed as per requirements by using different modification blocks.
The OS also features high levels of security.
“In order to hack this platform a cyber-baddie would need to break the digital signature, which – any time before the introduction of quantum computers – would be exorbitantly expensive.”
