“President Biden’s administration is expected to announce a ban on the sale of Kaspersky software in the US due to concerns around the company’s perceived ties to the Russian government, Reuters reports Thursday, citing a source familiar with the matter. The US will also establish trade restrictions around Kaspersky Lab, according to two other sources who spoke with the outlet.
Any products that use Kaspersky software under a third-party white label will also be restricted, per the report. The third-party companies will be notified in advance.
US critical infrastructure providers as well as some state and local governments use Kaspersky’s software, the sources note, arguing that it could pose security concerns because they believe Kaspersky is closely connected to the Russian government. ”
