Kaspersky Lab Goes to Court Seeking Repeal of DHS Ban on Its Products

Kaspersky Lab went to court seeking to reverse the Department of Homeland Security's ban on use of its products in federal IT systems, the company said Monday of its U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia case. "DHS’s actions have caused undue damage to both the company’s reputation in the IT security industry and its sales in the U.S.," Kaspersky said. The firm has been under fire for several months after reports that vulnerabilities in its software enabled the Russian government to breach U.S. federal systems (see 1712060045).
