Kaspersky will generally no longer be able to, among other activities, sell its software within the United States or provide updates to software already in use, said a commerce department statement.
Russia has shown time and again they have the capability and intent to exploit Russian companies, like Kaspersky Lab, to collect and weaponise sensitive US information.
Kaspersky does not engage in activities which threaten US national security and, in fact, has made significant contributions with its reporting and protection from a variety of threat actors that targeted US interests and allies, the company said.
The commerce department's actions demonstrated to America's adversaries that it would not hesitate to act when their technology poses a risk to the United States and its citizens.
