RUSSIAN IT entrepreneur Eugene Kaspersky's internet security firm has signed a deal to sponsor the Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL.
Kaspersky Lab will take its place on the NSW club's jersey for the first time in this Sundays Brookvale Oval clash with South Sydney.
A Sea Eagles spokesman would not reveal the size of the sponsorship but he said it was for a "very substantial amount".
"You don't get on the front of an NRL jersey these days unless it's for substantial money," he said.
Kaspersky Lab becomes a major sponsor for the Sea Eagles who were previously supported by club powerbroker Max Delmege, Quantum Echo Hot Water, and Sea Eagles chairman and co-owner Scott Penn.
The sponsorship deal is a further sign of Kaspersky Lab's intention to expand northward beyond its current Australian headquarters in Melbourne.
In 2009 the Moscow-based company signed a three-year multi-million dollar sponsorship deal with the Melbourne Demons AFL team.
The flamboyant Kaspersky also signed up martial arts expert and actor Jackie Chan as part of his global quest to add spice and breadth to the appeal of ridding computers of their virus woes.
"The Manly Sea Eagles have received a significant mid season and future financial boost with the announcement today of a new major sponsor, international IT security company Kaspersky Lab," the company said in a statement.
"Kaspersky Lab is firmly positioned as one of the worlds top vendors of endpoint security software and operates in more than 100 countries worldwide with its headquarters in Moscow, Russia."
Penn said the introduction of Kaspersky Lab broke new ground for the NRL.
"To attract such an international group, which employs more than 2300 highly qualified specialists worldwide in 29 countries with 300 million users, is a massive salute to the game and the iconic Sea Eagles brand," Penn said.
The Sea Eagles deal with Kaspersky Lab is for the rest of the 2011 season and 2012, with an option to extend further.
Kaspersky is a graduate of the Institute of Cryptography, Telecommunications and Computer Science in Moscow, an institute that was co-sponsored by the Russian Ministry of Defence and the KGB.
Kaspersky's discovery of the cascade virus on his institute computer triggered his interest in anti- virus software and the eventual formation of his software empire originally in partnership with ex-wife, Natalya.
