Kaspersky

English

Overview

A globally operating security-product vendor founded in Russia.

Details

Best known for its antivirus software, though its use has been restricted in government agencies in some countries. Its status as a Russian company has become a major constraint on its business: US government agencies were banned from using its software in 2017, and in 2024 the US barred the sale of its products outright, both tied directly to geopolitical risk.
