partner
In 2023, Kaspersky became an
official partner of the Bolshoi
Theatre.

Strengthening IT security is a vital step for the Bolshoi Theatre toprotect its internal business processes and the data of its customers
and partners. The Bolshoi Theatre’s high profile and close collaboration
with major international organizations require the very highest levelsof cybersecurity to maintain its reputation as a trusted partner.
Faced with an increasingly complex threat landscape, the Bolshoi
Theatre needed to augment its cyberdefenses with the most reliable
information security solutions on the market.

A new chord in the cybersecurity
symphony
Kaspersky MDR provides
continuous 24/7 monitoring andincident detection by Kaspersky
SOC experts, freeing up internal
IT and information security
teams for other tasks.

In 2022, the Bolshoi Theatre found itself in urgent need of acybersecurity upgrade. The goal was to find a solution that would
strengthen infrastructure and data protection against possible
cyberattacks and data leaks, including information about employees,
artists, and customers, as well as intellectual property. Withcyberattacks increasing in number and complexity, it was essential for
the Bolshoi Theatre to protect itself not only against mass threats, butalso against more sophisticated cyberattacks. This meant securing its
entire IT infrastructure in the shortest possible time with only a handfulof security experts in-house.

Benefits

After studying the cybersecurity market, the Bolshoi Theatre chose
Kaspersky for its superior reliability, decades of international expertise,and recognition among the professional community as well as
thousands of customers from all industries. As a result, the Bolshoi
Theatre opted for security based on Kaspersky MDR: this solution, inaddition to Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway and core protection of all
physical, mobile, and virtual endpoints installed as standard, provides
continuous managed protection against cyberthreats. These products
have won recognition from independent analysts and customers
worldwide. The solution provides monitoring and proactive threat
hunting and response by Kaspersky SOC experts, all internationallycertified to the highest level of professionalism and expertise.

cyberattacks• All the key advantages of a SOC
without having to establish andmaintain one in-house

Results and future plans
The Bolshoi Theatre, with Kaspersky’s support, successfully deployed
Kaspersky MDR without disrupting any internal processes, despite
the difficulty of uninstalling the previous vendor’s now-unsupportedantivirus solution. The new solution has significantly increased theorganization’s resilience to cyberthreats, made more efficient useof available resources by transferring some security functions toKaspersky, and optimized investments in information security.
