Kaspersky Lab Usage Declines After US Ban

/ 1 min read

🛡️🧩 US Ban on Kaspersky Lab Shows Mixed Results in Usage Trends. Following the US government’s ban on Kaspersky Lab, effective September 30, 2024, a significant decline in global usage of the Russian antivirus software was observed, with active users dropping from 22,000 organizations to around 8,000. However, over 40% of US organizations that previously used Kaspersky products continue to do so, including some government agencies. The ban has prompted faster removal of Kaspersky in countries with existing restrictions, such as Germany and the UK, compared to the US. As policymakers assess the effectiveness of technology bans, questions arise about compliance and the broader implications for supply chain security.
