Kaspersky Decides to Close Its US-Based Division

Kaspersky is known as a major company operating in the field of cybersecurity. However, according to the latest news, the company has decided to close its U.S.-based division. According to Zero Day’s report, Kaspersky will terminate its operations in the U.S. and lay off the employees working there.

The U.S. Ban on Kaspersky Products

It is known that the U.S. has decided to ban the sale of Kaspersky products. Following this ban, it seems that Kaspersky is considering ending its operations in the U.S.

Kaspersky’s Statements

In a statement, Kaspersky mentioned that they carefully examined the impact of legal requirements in the U.S. and decided to take this step because the business opportunities in the country are no longer valid. It was stated that less than 50 employees will be affected by the company’s decision.

• Affected Personnel: While some employees mentioned that they received severance pay, details were not shared.
• Kaspersky Products: Kaspersky’s software is known for its ability to protect against malicious software, especially on Windows computers.

Kaspersky and the Russian Government Relation

Allegations of Kaspersky’s connection with the Russian government have been on the agenda for a long time. The U.S. government argues that due to these connections, Kaspersky software could pose security risks on computers. Despite Kaspersky repeatedly denying these allegations, it has not been successful.

In short, Kaspersky’s decision to terminate its operations in the U.S. could lead to significant changes in the field of cybersecurity and may require U.S.-based Kaspersky users to seek new alternatives.
