US Kaspersky Ban: Active Use Persists in Government Agencies
Despite a ban on Kaspersky products in the US, nearly three months later, active use of these products remains prevalent within the country. As of November 30, 2024, 19 government agencies were observed communicating with Kaspersky update servers.
The US is one of the few countries to ban Kaspersky usage in both public and private sectors. This ban, implemented in September 2024, has led to a significant drop in global entry, from around 22,000 organizations to around 8,000. However, more than 40% of US organizations observed to be using Kaspersky products before the ban still appear to be using them.
In contrast, countries like Germany, the UK, and Italy, which have either banned Kaspersky usage in government devices or issued warnings, have shown higher observed reductions in usage compared to the US. This discrepancy suggests that the US ban may not be as effective as initially hoped. The ban has, however, significantly impacted global entry, with dramatic decreases observed in countries without formal bans.
The US ban on Kaspersky Lab, Inc. has led to a significant global decline in usage, but the impact within the US appears less dramatic. As of now, only 58% of US organizations observed earlier in the year to be using Kaspersky products appear to have eliminated their Kaspersky usage. This indicates that the ban's full effect may still be unfolding, and further observations are needed to assess its long-term impact.
