Toward a safer digital future: Kaspersky endorses UN’s Global Digital Compact

February 14, 2025

To enhance global efforts aimed at making the digital world safe and secure, Kaspersky has joined the ranks of organizations endorsing the vision of the United Nations’ Global Digital Compact. This framework sets out objectives and principles that participating parties will use to foster a more inclusive, open and sustainable digital future. As a Compact supporter, Kaspersky will continue to deliver on its mission of building a safer world where people are free to use the power of digital technologies to improve their lives.

The Global Digital Compact is a comprehensive framework for global governance of digital technology and artificial intelligence. Laying out a roadmap for cooperation to activate the potential of digital technology, the document promotes a global and inclusive effort and encourages organizations and associations to endorse its vision and principles.

The Compact is structured around five major objectives, namely:

• Ensuring that digitalization is accelerating progress in achieving Sustainable Development Goals;
  
• Expanding inclusion in and benefits from the digital economy;
  
• Fostering a digital space that respects and protects human rights;
  
• Advancing responsible data governance approaches;
  
• Enhancing international governance of artificial intelligence for the benefit of all.
  

By joining the Compact, Kaspersky reaffirms its commitment to make our world more sustainable by minimizing cyber risks and leading society toward immunity against digital threats. With digital literacy improvement being one of the key action areas to this end, Kaspersky will continue raising cybersecurity awareness among the general public by releasing cybersecurity research and developing its educational initiatives, including those run by Kaspersky Academy. To provide a more profound knowledge on security evaluation, Kaspersky will continue advancing its Expert Training programs so that they correspond to the needs of businesses, government and academic institutions.
