U.S. Slaps Sanctions on Kaspersky Execs: Cybersecurity Showdown Heats Up
U.S. sanctions 12 Kaspersky execs to protect cyber domain. While the CEO dodges the list, American customers will soon be barred from using Kaspersky software.
Hot Take:
The U.S. government just slapped Kaspersky’s top brass with sanctions, proving once again that when it comes to cybersecurity, it’s not just about keeping viruses out, but also about keeping the wrong people out of the boardroom!
Key Points:
- The U.S. sanctioned twelve Kaspersky executives to protect against malicious cyber threats.
- The sanctions don’t target Kaspersky or its subsidiaries directly, nor its CEO Eugene Kaspersky.
- Sanctioned execs include Kaspersky’s chief business development officer, chief legal officer, and others.
- The U.S. banned the sale of Kaspersky software effective July 20, with updates halting after September 29.
- Sanctions will make it difficult for the named executives to start new companies or receive payments from American customers.
