The reason was the sanctions imposed in the summer of 2024, which banned the use of its software in the country.
As a result, about 50 employees working in the US lost their jobs at the Russian company. The process of completely ceasing operations will begin on July 20, 2024 and will be gradual.
Kaspersky Lab reported that the company carefully studied the legal requirements of the United States and decided to stop its active activities in the country, as it did not see any opportunity to do business.
This decision will not only affect users but also other software developers who use their work.
Despite leaving the US, the company does not plan to stop its global development and will continue to maintain customers and partners worldwide.
