The US Department of Commerce has decided to ban Kaspersky Lab, Inc. and its affiliates, directly or indirectly, provide antivirus software and cybersecurity products or services in the United States. This was done after an investigation revealed that transactions related to the products and services of Kaspersky Lab, Inc. and its corporate family, pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and American citizens.
The US Department of Commerce added the structures of AO Kaspersky Lab and Kaspersky Group LLC (Russia) and Kaspersky Labs Limited (United Kingdom) to the List of organizations cooperating with the military and intelligence agencies of the Russian Federation to support the activities of Russian government on cyber intelligence.
