JAKARTA - On Thursday, June 20, the Joe Biden Administration announced its plans to ban the sale of Kaspersky Lab antiviral devices in the United States because they are considered to pose a critical risk to national security.

Responding to the decision, Kaspersky believes that the decision was taken due to the geopolitical climate and theoretical concerns, not based on a comprehensive evaluation of Kaspersky's product integrity and services.

And the company, which has been operating for more than 26 years, admits that it is not involved in activities that threaten the national security of the United States. Due to the fact, Kaspersky has made a significant contribution in reporting to protection from various cybercriminals in the country.

The company intends to take all the legally available options to maintain its current operations and relations, the global cybersecurity firm wrote in a statement received on Monday, June 24.

In addition to providing industry-leading products and services to customers around the world, Kaspersky has also implemented transparency measures in the cybersecurity industry to demonstrate its commitment to integrity and trust.

Thus, Kaspersky reiterated once again that the US Department of Commerce's decision unfairly ignored the existing evidence.

The main impact of the US government's decision is to provide benefits to cybercrime and also to limit efforts to cooperate between cybersecurity experts in fighting malware.

However, Kaspersky remains committed to protecting the world from cyber threats. "We look forward to the future, and will continue to defend ourselves against actions that seek to harm our reputation and commercial interests unfairly."
