US authorities may ban American companies and citizens from using Kaspersky Lab software for national security reasons.
According to CNN, citing sources, the decision is being finalised and could be made as early as this month.
“US government agencies are already banned from using Kaspersky Lab software, but action to prevent private companies from using it would be unprecedented,” the publication said.
Earlier, the US company Autodesk banned Russian companies from using its software from 20 March.
In 2022, the corporate messenger Slack began restricting access of users from Russia to their accounts.
