BIS has brought several charges against LK at once. Since LK is a Russian company, it must comply with the requirements of the Russian authorities and provide access to sensitive information from devices on which its antivirus software is installed. Also, LK employees, theoretically, can transfer information about American users to the Russian authorities.

Also, according to BIS, using its software, it can install malware on American users’ devices or, conversely, block the installation of critical updates needed to protect against vulnerabilities.

In addition, LC products may be integrated into products and services uae whatsapp number list of other manufacturers. This may lead to the emergence of products with unknown closed code and may lead to the emergence of LC products on American devices containing sensitive data.

BIS will compile a list of more than 80 LC products that are now prohibited for sale in the United States. Among them are various antivirus products (including software for mobile platforms, the Internet of Things, mail servers, various industries, etc.), as well as Anti-ddos, antispam, VPN, etc.

The US Department of Commerce also added three Kaspersky Lab entities to its sanctions list: the British Kaspersky Lab and the Russian Kaspersky Lab JSC and Kaspersky Group LLC. This means that US residents will have to obtain export licenses from BIS to cooperate with these entities.

US individuals and legal entities are advised to replace LK products with products from other developers. At the same time, as BIS emphasized, individuals who continue to use LK products will not be subject to sanctions, but responsibility for cybersecurity risks will fall on their shoulders.

Effective July 20, 2024, LK is prohibited from entering into new contracts with U.S. residents for the creation, development, and delivery of its antivirus and information security products, as well as the integration of its products into third-party solutions. At the same time, BIS has allowed LK to continue updating antivirus databases and software for U.S. citizens until September 29, 2024.

From September 29, 2024, the resale, licensing and integration of antivirus and information security products from LK is prohibited. The operation of KSN (Kaspersky Security Network) in the United States is also prohibited.

At the same time, the restrictions of the US authorities do not apply to the educational and scientific projects of the Kasersky Lab - Kasersky Threat Intelligence, Kasersky Security Training, SOC Consulting, Security Condulting, ASK tge Analyst and Incudent Response.
