Kaspersky

The US government has banned Kaspersky from selling products to new US-based customers and limits services to existing customers amidst national security concerns. Allegations suggest that the Russian government could use Kaspersky's antivirus software to conduct espionage. This ban could disrupt American companies, including critical infrastructure sectors like telecommunications, power, and health care, which use Kaspersky software for cybersecurity protection.
