Bingo someone who did some research, I did not mention this in my own comment but not only that, look at the CVE registry to see there is far more to this... Regardless, Kaspersky is SOC 2 TYPE II compliant and certified, I hope you understand what international requirements you must meet to even be considered for a SOC 2 (not to mention a TYPE II) certification. If you get that you know why this relates to the former. But Again, if I am a better man, which I am not, I would think the US will Recommend Trend Micro or Sophos. Which is ok, better than McFee and other known brands but again you can independently verify why END POINT security by Kaspersky makes the rest look like ClamAV. But fair enough, politics aside, Sophos have great solutions and in my experience better than Trend Micro. So what is next, Proton? Yes the Kaspersky Labs they are cutting ties with is Swiss not Russian... again must of the same vibe going on as was the case with TT. Oh to get a SOC 2 TYPE II certification you must have independent labs (ovrtr 680) review your source code. I can go on and on about standards but as the commenter said, it is about Pegasys.

Through the years Kaspersky have always been among the top quality AVs. If they ever decide to do something rogue - it will be their last, because a reputation of a security company can be ruined with just 1 such move, and it will get known, you can't hide it forever, if you do something malicious - it will be uncovered. The craziest part of the accusations to me is, that they say Kaspersky may eventually hold back updates to allow for malware - which they never did - but the US NSA with Microsoft and other vendors actually did that on multiple occasions. It is up to you at the end whom do you trust - the competent Biden administration or your common senses :)

The Department of Commerce no longer has the authority to adhoc just ban a product. They can set recommendations and control government procurement. They no longer have Chevron Difference as a legal argument. Now hoping for a good judge to review the appropriate laws and if no law says Department of Commerce has the power to ban a product or service, This ruling goes away. Too bad it will take longer than 100 days to get through the court system.

I think ultimately depends on what is the purpose of the device it is installed in. If you are working with for example the US government and handling some very important secrets that Russian Intelligence might want, then it might not be a good idea to use Kaspersky. On the other hand, if you are an everyday person who have nothing in particular that is of interest to Russian or even Chinese intelligence and instead have a greater risk of some corpos sneaking in Pegasus and the like to steal your personal data for God-knows-what purposes, then it is safer to use Kaspersky than say Norton or Mcafee.

Kaspersky has achieved the SOC 2 Type 2 report in accordance with the SSAE 18 standard (Security criteria) issued by an independent third-party auditor. MITRE ATT&CK evaluation confirms the quality of Kaspersky’s solution. Kaspersky products participated in 927 independent tests and reviews... Man, just go to SE Labs and get get the data. The Bureau of Industry and Security are doing this for one reason, do some research and see what Kaspersky may have discovered so instead those who know will know. Suppose the US will get all on Trend or something, since the division dealing with the US is based in Switzerland... any how I am sure the FSB will respond, since it the US maintains the usual "Threat to national security" etc. approach but it is basically just another sanction of sorts. Based on nothing but allegations. which is why I said this is to be expected, not the first time the US tried this neither (go back to 2017). Regardless, like I said, if the US banned TT and now now Kaspersky wanna take a wild guess what is next... want to consider why the EU did not ban Kaspersky? yeah there is much more to this but do you own research

The thing I find with this, is that if you changed Kaspersky to any other AV name, you'll get the same effect. Doesn't matter where it's from. Tell me your government is paranoid without telling me your government is paranoid. 'Jurisdiction, control, or direction of the XX government' -- you can change that to the US government, or any other Government and have the same thing; your local government can more than likely do the exact same thing, and probably do 'Access to sensitive XX customer information through administrative privileges' -- Any AV you have installed would pretty much have the exact same access and you can limit what it can and can't do as well (from what I remember). 'Capability or opportunity to install malicious software and withhold critical updates' -- Nothing is risk free; no AV is 100% protection, no system is 100% safe. Windows can basically do this on their own with all their spyware updates like co-pilot and snapshot.
