<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kesavardhanan J, or Keseven as he is known to his colleagues, founded a cybersecurity company in 1991 in Chennai anticipating the digital revolution and the need to protect the benefits it would bring. He also anticipated the need for efficient antivirus and wrote code that would ensure minimal impact on device performance. His approach was justified when testing agencies eventually began evaluating antivirus products by their impact on performance, and K7\u2019s products regularly top their charts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keseven continued to expand on his vision, establishing the K7 Lab in 1998 to spearhead malware research and automating research and development processes to improve speed and reliability. He also pioneered the use of the FMCG model to distribute software in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keseven also serves as the CEO of the Association of anti Virus Asia Researchers (AVAR) which fosters collaboration amongst international cybersecurity stakeholders to defeat emerging cyberthreats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
