Abandoning the trust and vigilance messaging usually required in the cybersecurity category, Kaspersky Lab decides to simply dance its way into your heart with an exuberant green bear named Midori Kuma.

The beast, Kaspersky’s​ official mascot, was created using motion capture and lots of attitude by director Andrey Voytishin and the crew at Belarus CGI studio ​Resight.

“Midori Kuma’s a traveler, party animal and has many different talents. He enjoys life with endless opportunities that technology brings and invites you to join him in dancing. Bring on digital security for a brighter tomorrow!”
