Kaspersky is transitioning its US customers to a new security software solution. The company will automatically move around one million customers to UltraAV, a product from Pango Group, as part of their ongoing subscriptions.

The ban, effective from July 20, prohibited Kaspersky, a Russia-based cybersecurity firm, from selling its core products in the US. While current users have been able to continue using their software, updates will cease on September 29, making the switch to UltraAV timely.

Kaspersky addressed the situation, stating, “In light of recent US restrictions limiting the functionality of Kaspersky’s products, we have arranged a solution to ensure continued cybersecurity protection for our users.” The company confirmed that the transition to UltraAV will allow US customers to maintain their antivirus protection without interruption.

This move follows an investigation by the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), which cited Kaspersky’s connections to Russia as a national security risk. The BIS’s ban includes 81 Kaspersky products, though Kaspersky Threat Intelligence services, security training products, and consulting services are excluded.
