The Russian Kaspersky challenges the US from Madrid and opens a center anti espionage

After opening a transparency center in Zurich, the first to premiere worldwide, to show that neither spy nor hide anything, the Russian firm plans the opening of another similar center in Madrid

The battle between the US and companies like Chinese Huawei and Russian Kaspersky, one of the largest developers of antivirus software in the world, is about to splash to Spain . The Trump administration accused Kaspersky at the end of 2017 of keeping secret contacts with spies in the pay of the Russian government . Its measure was drastic: to prohibit the use of its programs in all government agencies. Now Kaspersky has gone on the attack. After opening a center of transparency in Zurich, the first to premiere worldwide, to show that neither spy nor hide anything, the Russian firm plans the opening of another similar center in Madrid . Its objective, beyond washing its image, is geopolitical: to denounce the 'Cold Cyberwar' initiated by the US and expose its alleged double standards by crushing rival foreign companies on the one hand and turning a blind eye to another with Apple, Amazon , Facebook and Google.

Kaspersky, headquartered in Moscow and nearly 4,000 employees worldwide, last opened a new "transparency center" in Madrid, according to Teknautas have confirmed multiple international sources of the sector aware of the company's strategy, which now he kept the initiative secret because of the geopolitical background of his war with the United States. Officially, Kaspersky neither confirms nor denies the movement.

"We do not have any additional comments beyond what has already been announced," a spokesperson tells this newspaper. But the start of the center, scheduled for the next few weeks, is now closed and approved . It will be the second to open in Europe, after the opening in Zurich at the end of last year . And the one in Madrid will precisely support the one located in Switzerland.

There the company has moved the servers that process the data analysis of European users. That is, if you have Kaspersky antivirus installed on your computer and it detects 'malware', your metadata will not travel to a server located in Russia as before, they will stay in Europe, in a data center in Zurich, where they will be analyzed.
