This Operating system has based on Microkernel architecture which is specially designed for network devices, industrial control systems and the Internet of Things.
The operating system is not made for your average home PC; instead, it is meant to protect industrial systems and embedded devices from cyber attacks by preventing any third-party or malicious code from executing.
When it comes to embeded systems, as it is growing rapidly hackers tend to make malisiouse softwares and un athoriied ode exeutings in MCUs. So in order to prevent that Kaspersky OS would play a major role.
