The US will ban Kaspersky antivirus software due to fears that Russia could use it for malicious purposes and weaponize personal information of Americans.
The ban is part of the increasing focus on technology as a national security threat, with implications for dual-use technology and data.
Current Kaspersky users in the US will have time to find replacement software as new sales will be blocked from July 24, 2024.
Continued sale of Kaspersky's software in the US after the ban could lead to fines, with a previous ban on Kaspersky from US government systems.
