Kaspersky Life Cycle
Josephine Heathershaw
So, the answer seems simple: The life cycle of a connected product should be as short as possible. Take smartphones, which tend to stick around no more than three years now. Some companies stop patching their smartphones after a year or two, and some just forget about them after release. But that brings up another issue: sustainability.
Basically, that means to stay on the green side, we all need to keep our phone and car purchases to a minimum. Therefore, to help spare our planet, the product life cycle should be as long as possible.
Secure-by-design systems such as KasperskyOS enable you to build connected products that may have a long life cycle because of their lower support costs. And longer product life cycles keep your business sustainable from the ecological standpoint. Problem solved.
Hi, no way. Mixed manufacturing environment... Maybe it is hard to imagine, but our newest manufacturing machine (bought this year) is using Windows XP as control-unit and has to be integrated with the network. Which is the highest supported version of KSC/KEC for work with XP/2003? Microsoft is for us too fast with product life cycle ?
But I hope, there is a very simple trick to mark the database as obsolate or corrupt and perform the update. If standrard repair from KES does (set very old database), it should be not to complicated.
In this study, we analyzed how long phishing pages survive as well as the signs they show when they become inactive. In addition to the general data, we provided a number of options for classifying phishing pages according to formal criteria and analyzed the results for each of them.
The resulting data and conclusions could be used to improve mechanisms for re-scanning pages which have ended up in anti-phishing databases, to determine the response time to new cases of phishing, and for other purposes.
Each item on this list was given a timestamp to represent the number of seconds elapsed from when the link began to be monitored. Using the timestamps, we recorded the data into a table to plot a graph showing the life cycle of each link. This allowed us to track when there was phishing activity on a page.
The following graph shows the number of days survived by phishing links which became inactive during the 30-day monitoring period. Given that the links were detected by the program on a gradual basis, the graph indicates the relative time each link was monitored as the number of days. A significant number of links (1784) were already inactive after the first day of monitoring.
The data presented above allows some general conclusions to be made about the life cycle of modern phishing pages without focusing on specific categories. However, we can learn more about such pages if we group them according to fixed criteria and study how the characteristics of their life cycles differ depending on the group.
*Number of hours elapsed by the time a quarter of the domains in this category have become inactive.
**Number of hours elapsed by the time half of the domains in this category have become inactive.
Phishing pages most frequently use established well-known domains such as .org and .com. At the same time, the .xyz domain is popular among cybercriminals, which is one of the top-level domains that allows you to register a new domain at a low cost or for free, making it convenient for creating one-day websites.
Phishing pages located in directories proved to be more resilient than pages at the root: about 30% of the links remained active over 30 days (compared to 20% of pages at the root). Moreover, half of the phishing links in directories only became inactive after 157 hours, which is four times the activity length observed for pages at the root.
The domain level can indicate whether a website is part of a large network such as a hosting service or an independent online entity. When determining the domain level, composite top-level domains (like .co.uk) were counted as one level.
*Number of hours elapsed by the time a quarter of the domains in this category have become inactive. The graph has been left empty if not enough domains ceased activity within 30 days.
**Number of hours elapsed by the time half of the domains in this category have become inactive. The graph has been left empty if not enough domains ceased activity within 30 days.
***Number of hours elapsed by the time three quarters of the domains in this category have become inactive. The graph has been left empty if not enough domains ceased activity within 30 days.
The second most popular combination is a phishing page located in a directory on a third-level domain created before June 2015. This is the most resilient type of phishing page: just under a quarter of these pages stopped showing signs of phishing activity within 30 days, which is significantly lower than the average figure.
KCS can be integrated into an organization's DevSecOps framework, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and infrastructure, Kaspersky stated. It protects organizations that have already established DevSecOps processes and organizations that are beginning to create and implement these processes.
Furthermore, KCS allows organizations to set deadlines for an application to be released after it automatically completes all security and compliance checks, Kaspersky stated. It also detects violations of regulatory requirements in components of a container environment and performs audits in alignment with national and international security standards.
"Its risks are not covered by traditional endpoint or virtual machine security solutions as it requires specific solutions. This is why we launched Kaspersky Container Security (KCS), a solution that protects containerized application during its life cycle including runtime, the most vulnerable area."
Previously, Kaspersky in September 2023 unveiled the Academy Alliance program for colleges and universities. The program allows colleges and universities to use Kaspersky's cybersecurity technology and expertise to encourage students to explore cybersecurity careers, the company indicated.

After renewing my Kaspersky Standard Anti Virus, it wanted to do a health check of my drives with the Hard Disk Health Monitor. Once completed I have found out that I have one external drive that is no good and there are issues with the others. I had four external hard drives that are about 15 years old and I have a 2017 iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) running macOS Monterey Version 12.6. I purchased the iMac in April of 2018.
It will help us get a good idea of what is causing your problem if you provide a report of your system, that way we do not have to play 20 questions with you. The report we are requesting does NOT provide any personal information and is extremely safe to use. Please navigate to www.Etrecheck.com and download the free version of EtreCheck. Once you have you downloaded the app and installed it, please run the report and save it. This report will help us get a good idea what has been installed on your system and help us be able to diagnose what may be wrong.
Run DriveDx (free trial period) to check the health of the both internal drives so I can verify if either one has a hardware issue since Kaspersky was indicating a problem with one of them. The write speed of your Fusion Drive seems a bit slow, but that could be due to how much data was being written by the EtreCheck speed test. Post the complete DriveDx text report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper.
Here's some more food for thought on A/V software: there is no reason to ever install or run any 3rd party "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus, VPN or security apps on your Mac. This documents describe what you need to know and do in order to protect your Mac: Effective defenses against malware and other threats - Apple Community and Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support.
Anti Virus developers try to group all types as viruses into their ad campaigns of fear. They do a poor job of the detecting and isolating the adware and malware. Since there are no viruses these apps use up a lot of system resources searching for what is non-existent and adversely affect system and app performance.
There is one app, There is one app, There is one app, Malwarebytes, which was developed by a long time contributor to these forums and a highly respected member of the computer security community, that is designed solely to seek out adware and known malware and remove it. The free version is more than adequate for most users.
Most likely Kaspersky is monitoring the SSD's health attributes/information, but that is hard to say since it doesn't provide any details except for the Power On hours and drive temperature. However, Kaspersky is likely interpreting the information from the SSD as if it were an older Hard Drive which can result in incorrectly reporting the health of an SSD. Usually the health of the SSD must be manually interpreted from reviewing the actual SMART attributes (aka health information)....even then, it takes some practice to know what is an immediate concern and what is just something to keep an eye on.
