That is what matters the most.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1997, Kaspersky Lab has evolved into an international company that operates in almost 200 countries and territories worldwide. Registered in the United Kingdom, we have 34 representative territory offices in 31 countries across 5 continents. The company employs more than 3,000 highly qualified specialists and this number is growing by about 7% a year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5099\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2015\/10\/05103636\/KL-employees-satisfaction-IG-en.jpg\" alt=\"KL-employees-satisfaction-IG-en\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"><\/p>\n<p>Employees at Kaspersky Lab find time to conduct their own charity initiatives.

Since 2011 colleagues in North America have donated US$ 65,000 for different kinds of charity projects.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5100\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2015\/10\/05103634\/KL-social-responsibility-IG-en.jpg\" alt=\"KL-social-responsibility-IG-en\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"><\/p>\n<p>The team is not afraid to get their hands dirty if it is for a good cause.
