Question especially for the Russia guys - how can we trust that Kaspersky isn't being leaned on by Russian intelligence services to downplay reporting? Specifically talking about situations like Red October/Cloud Atlas actors, where there clearly appears to be a Russia/CIS component.

Vitaly, to your point on "back then maybe we did not have enough skills and techniques to discover and track such actors" - what do you believe has changed that would allow you to detect new threats going forward? In other words, how confident are you that you are suited to detect current-gen or future-gen APT material?

If you can do better, we'd be very happy to talk to you.

Vitaly, Thanks for the response re: ghosts. I had actually considered GReAT, but was a bit put off from the "must have X published papers or presentations" requirement in the job posting. How exactly would somebody from a career in researching APTs in a "not in the public eye" capacity fit in with your team?

You guys go against what are presumably well-funded criminal organizations and nation-states. Have you ever felt personally threatened by the work you do?
