Joe Biden’s administration is considering banning the use of Kaspersky Lab software by US companies and citizens. CNN reported this on April 10, citing sources.
The decision, which is still being finalized, could be made this month.
Kaspersky is expected to be prohibited from providing access to certain products and services in the United States.
US government agencies are already banned from using Kaspersky software, but the new ban would be unprecedented.
Objective: Reduce risk to US critical infrastructure.
The ban may affect Kaspersky antivirus software.
Let us remember that more than 400 million people and 240 thousand companies around the world use Kaspersky software.
In March 2022, the US Federal Communications Commission included Kaspersky on its list of companies that pose a threat to US security.
Kaspersky is disappointed with the FCC’s decision and considers it politically motivated.
