In conformity with the Final Determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Kaspersky announces it has stopped sales contracts of its anti-virus software and cybersecurity products in the United States ahead of July 20, 2024. Starting from September 30, 2024, Kaspersky will be prohibited from providing anti-virus signature updates and codebase updates to U.S. consumers and businesses. Until then, the company will continue fulfilling its obligations under all existing contracts. Starting from July 20, 2024 Kaspersky will also gradually wind down its U.S. operations and eliminate U.S.-based positions.
Kaspersky has been fully committed to transparency and providing high-quality protection against any type of threat. To respond to the U.S. authorities’ concerns, the company has proposed a comprehensive assessment framework providing for the verification of its solutions, database updates, threat detection rules by an independent trusted reviewer. Therefore, Kaspersky maintains that the U.S. Department of Commerce decision was based on the geopolitical climate rather than on the evaluation of the integrity of the company’s solutions and deprives U.S. users and companies of best in class protection.
Kaspersky’s informational or educational products and services such as Kaspersky Threat Intelligence and Kaspersky Cybersecurity Training, as well as Kaspersky consulting or advisory services (including SOC Consulting, Security Consulting, Ask the Analyst, and Incident Response) will continue to be available in the U.S. market.
Kaspersky remains
strong in its ongoing support for its customers and partners worldwide providing
leading cybersecurity solutions. The company stays dedicated to delivering
top-tier cybersecurity technologies, recognized for their excellence through
