Based on a survey done by Kaspersky, 78-percent of the respondents from home users and business users would subscribe to a security service that could remove their worries. Seeing this need of home users and small business owners, Kaspersky has launched the Kaspersky Lab ‘No Worries Plan’ to address this concern and help people save costs in security systems as well. The No Worries Plan offers home network users and small business networks the choice of Kaspersky PURE or Kaspersky Small Office Security (KSOS) solutions plus support services including installation, setup and training.
At the launch, Kaspersky Lab’s Malaysian Brand Ambassador, World No.1 Badminton Men’s Singles Champion, Dato’ Lee Chong Wei was the guest of honour and he proudly proclaimed that he uses Kaspersky only on his laptop. Crowds and fans gathered to take photographs of the sportsman who have been a Kaspersky user and ambassador for awhile.
The No Worries Home Plan subscribers only pay RM30 per month for the Kaspersky PURE premium protection for three users. For small and medium businesses (SMBs), the Kaspersky Lab Small Office Security (KSOS) is available for RM200 a month for ten users or less through its Small Office Plan 1 and for its Small Office Plan 2, just RM500 per month for 20 users or less.
“We identified a genuine need among a significant number of home users and small business owners, established what they were willing to pay to have this need fulfilled and developed a plan that exceeds their minimum requirement – this is why we are introducing the Kaspersky Lab ‘No Worries Plan’ today,” said Jimmy Fong, Channel Sales Director, SEA, Kaspersky Lab.
According to Gun Suk Ling, Corporate Sales Director, APAC, Kaspersky Lab, the brand decided to extend technical supports to rural areas since the majority of support services for software and hardware is based in urban centers.
“Many computer users in rural areas are facing difficulties in obtaining technical support for their security software products as there are few software professionals around to assist. As a brand that champions cyber security awareness, we saw a need that could be filled for an important segment of Malaysian society and stepped in with a solution that meets that need more effectively,” said Gun.
Kaspersky is running a promotion currently with the No Worries Plan by offering the Home Plan for RM360 a year with two boxes of Kaspersky PURE for six users and Small Office Plan 2 for RM3,600 per year.
