Geopolitical tensions and the war in Ukraine made it hard for Kaspersky to shake the ban.
Share on linkedin A slow-burn approach to considering the ban — the toughest action yet against a foreign-based cybersecurity company — could help the U.S. government avoid the same implementation woes it's faced in similar cases, experts say.Each of these three companies is subject to laws in its home country that could compel it to share U.S. customer data that's transmitted through its products.
Part of that is because it took a long time for officials to fully understand the security risks tied to Kaspersky, Borene, who is now executive director of global security at Flashpoint, said. A senior Commerce official told reporters that the company had a "significant number of U.S. customers," including critical infrastructure organizations and state and local governments.Short of completely restructuring the company's organizational structure, changing leadership or leaving Russia entirely, there wasn't much Kaspersky could've done to fight the oncoming ban, experts say.
