Kaspersky Lab is ceasing to do business in the USA. This is due to the decision of the American government, which has banned the use of the company's software in the country. Before leaving the American market, Evgeny Kaspersky's firm made a farewell gift to American users.
We have always strived for and remain committed to providing the best cybersecurity — independent, transparent, and professionally managed. Unfortunately, at the moment you have one less choice in protecting against online threats.
In addition to the farewell letter, Americans received a six-month free subscription to products from Kaspersky Lab.
As a reminder, since July 20, the US Department of Commerce has banned the Russian company from selling software to new customers. In addition, it cannot update programs for old users from September 29 of this year.
The ban is due to the fact that the American authorities suspect the company's top managers of having ties with Russian intelligence. Kaspersky Lab has denied these accusations.
As a reminder, Kaspersky Lab is one of the top four global manufacturers of software solutions for protecting end devices. Evgeny Kaspersky graduated from the 4th (technical) faculty of the Higher School of the KGB. He founded the company in 1997.
