US Sanctions Hit Kaspersky Execs, New Business Banned

US Sanctions Kaspersky Lab Executives Over Ties to Russia

US sanctions Kaspersky Lab executives and board members because of their ties to Russia, making it harder for them to start businesses in the US. The Biden administration announced sanctions against 12 top officials from Kaspersky Lab, a well-known cybersecurity company based in Russia. This decision was announced shortly after the Commerce Department banned Kaspersky’s antivirus software sales in the US due to national security concerns.
