Kaspersky, a cybersecurity firm, has refuted claims of being a security threat following the US Commerce Department's ban on its software. The company, based in Moscow and led by Russian CEO Eugene Kaspersky, stated that the ban would not impact its ability to sell cybersecurity products in the US. The Commerce Department's decision was based on geopolitical concerns and alleged risks due to Kaspersky's Russian connections, stating that the ban is well-supported and necessary for US national security.
