Kaspersky, in conjunction with UAE’s NASR Esports, has fortified its strategic alliance aimed at amplifying cybersecurity literacy among the gaming community. The ongoing effort is a vital component of Kaspersky’s global “Fearless Gaming” campaign, designed to bolster esports entities and enlighten gamers on safeguarding themselves both digitally and physically.

The alliance offers a unique platform enlightening gamers about the paramountcy of cybersecurity, emphasizing the protection of their high-end PCs, in-game valuables, confidential data, and more – ensuring smooth performance sans interruptions.

Kaspersky’s specialists have noted that cybercriminals have tactically taken advantage of trending game titles, orchestrating over 7 million attacks primarily aimed at younger gamers in 2022. There’s no software devoid of vulnerabilities. Elements such as in-game data and digital currency might become potential targets, leading to data breaches, identity thefts, phishing deceits, among other threats. Unmonitored hardware can also inadvertently pave the way for cyber exploitation and online bullying. The central objective of the Kaspersky-NASR Esports joint venture is to arm gamers of all age demographics with the requisite awareness, robust practices, and tools to courageously play while warding off sinister online maneuvers that might jeopardize their safety.

A seasoned gamer is often a target of more intricate cyber threats. Enhancing cybersecurity cognizance across the board is essential to quelling these apprehensions. Their combined efforts with NASR Esports aim to realize this vision. The pinnacle ambition of Kaspersky’s “Fearless Gaming” movement revolves around shielding gamers amidst the proliferation of ambiguous cyber menaces.
