Mr. Eugene Kaspersky, Founder and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, a famous technology pioneer and a leading antivirus manufacturer, together with Superstar Mr. Jackie Chan, held, on April 1st, a media conference for 'Presented by Kaspersky Lab -- Jackie Chan and Friends Concert in Beijing 2009' at Bird's Nest, a landmark architecture of Beijing Olympic Games. Mr. Eugene Kaspersky and Mr. Jackie Chan made a joint announcement at the conference, that the concert would formally commence at Bird's Nest in one month, that is, during the Golden Week of May. This is a 'Holiday Feast' that Kaspersky prepared particularly for China users.
It is reported that, after releasing the three-year-subscription product (Kaspersky Internet Security of three years subscription) in early March, Mr. Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab visited China again on March 31st, two years since his previous visit. In his 10-day trip, Beijing is his first stop. It is a big surprise that Eugene sponsors Mr. Jackie Chan's concert in his China tour.
In 2007 when Kaspersky became one of the leading manufacturers in China, Mr. Eugene Kaspersky came to China. At the moment of deterioration of both economic and information security environment in 2009, he is revisiting China once again. Is it a sign that the structure of China's information security industry will re-transform? It is yet to know for now.
