Kaspersky developed a comprehensive cybersecurity policy that aims to enhance the workforce while also considering employees’ security and welfare when using bionic devices in the office.
Developed by Kaspersky security experts, the policy governs procedures for using bionic devices within the company and aims to reduce the associated cybersecurity risks in business processes. The proposed document addresses the entire company’s infrastructure and all of its business units. As a result, it applies to the full access control system, as well as administrative processes, maintenance processes, and the use of automated systems. The policy is to be applied to both employees and temporary staff, as well as employees of third-party stakeholders that render contract services to the company. All these factors aim to enhance the cybersecurity of the corporate infrastructure on a larger level.
“Human augmentation is a burgeoning area of technology which in fact remains underexplored. That’s why making a first step towards clarifying issues related to its use, as well as strengthening security, will help us to ensure its potential is used in a positive way. We believe that to build a safer digital world for tomorrow, we need to digitally secure the future of human augmentation today,” Marco Preuss, Director of Kaspersky’s Global Research & Analysis Team (GReAT), Europe.

The cybersecurity policy initiated by Kaspersky offers a range of standardisation processes, enhancing security and granting better inclusion of employees using bionic devices when in the office. One of the major objectives of this initiative is also to engage the global IT and augmentation community in the discussion and pursue a collaborative effort for further steps of human augmentation security development. This includes ensuring digital privacy of devices, proving different levels of access rights to stored information, and mitigating any threats related to human health.
