For a cybersecurity company, 20 years is not young. We\u2019ve grown from several programmers sitting in a tiny office into one of the world\u2019s leading infosec companies, with offices all over the world. Once we protected only home users\u2019 computers; now we do much more, from hunting down nefarious threat actors to securing the data of international businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The company began with Eugene Kaspersky\u2019s dream of saving the world. Well, the world is not yet saved, so there\u2019s no time for him to rest on his laurels; he continues to lead the company and fight cybercrime.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14837\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2018\/05\/06020623\/Image00001-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"779\"><\/p>\n<p>Eugene is always on the move, traveling the world to meet with dignitaries and business partners and to speak at events on the importance of cybersecurity and protecting our critical infrastructures from hackers.

Despite best efforts, the day has only 24 hours and we can\u2019t accommodate every request, which means that sometimes your questions go unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>That changes later this week.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_3PUu88nOcw?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You see, for two hours this Thursday, Eugene Kaspersky will hop onto Reddit to host his first ever Ask Me Anything (AMA).
