    Kaspersky has been banned on USG networks since 2017. In 2019, Trump signed an EO letting Commerce ban all U.S. transactions of risky foreign-linked IT products and services. This is the first action to use that authority — and it could be a legal test case if Kaspersky sues. [im…

    The end of an era. Back in the day when I worked at Best Buy Geek Squad, Kaspersky was king. It was by far the most effective solution. Even into my first company as a security person I migrated us to Kaspersky and it was so damn good. A new chapter begins.

    In a first of its kind ban, the US government has banned Kaspersky antivirus due to the company's ties to the Russian government for national security reasons. This seems inevitable after the bans and tariffs on Chinese companies. After all, the US is in a proxy war with Russia. …

    @CommerceGov knows roughly how many organizations use Kaspersky and will work with DHS and DOJ to brief them on alleged national security risks and help them transition to other vendors. @CISAgov will lead outreach to critical infrastructure orgs, some of which do use Kaspersky. …
