After the US banned its software, a cybersecurity firm denied it was a hazard

US Commerce Department said it’ll be working with other government agencies to “get this message out” and “ensure a smooth transition” after it banned Kaspersky Lab from operating in the country. The agency added it wouldn’t disrupt the business of any of the Americans. Kaspersky said the ban is based on “geopolitical climate and theoretical concerns” rather than independently verifying if there was a risk.
