Mr Kasperksy also stated that, “misinformation and inaccurate perceptions are driving forward a dangerous agenda that may impact global cybersecurity, as origin may start dictating what technology is used instead of being able to choose the best solutions and experts available.” “Are we now banning companies based on its origin? Is it really the path we go on now? Imagine just how easy it is for any other country to exclude, for example, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Hitachi from governmental contracts based on allegations and speculations, without evidence saying “They’re a potential threat… we’re very concerned about them foreign software developers] and the security of our country!…” Mr Kasperksy responded by saying that the piece “is not only damaging the reputation and livelihood of the 300-plus Kaspersky Lab employees in the United States, but also detracting from valid concerns about the ability of different nations to engage in cyberespionage and to direct digitally enabled attacks against critical infrastructure.” The article outlined how big of a threat Russia is and referred to Kaspersky by asking why “millions of Americans unwittingly inviting this threat into their cyber networks and secure spaces?” ![]() However, an article written by US Senator Jeanne Shaheen in the New York Times entitled “The Russian Company That is a Danger to Our Security” added more fuel to the fire. “The department is concerned about the ties between certain Kaspersky officials and Russian intelligence and other government agencies, and requirements under Russian law that allow Russian intelligence agencies to request or compel assistance from Kaspersky and to intercept communications transiting Russian networks,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.įrom the very beginning, Mr Kaspersky has denied all claims that he or his company has any links to the Russian intelligence services.
