The U.S. government recently announced that it is banning the sale of Kaspersky antivirus products due to national security concerns. If you’re in the U.S. and currently use Kaspersky products today, you have a tight deadline to switch to an alternative provider. After September 29, 2024, U.S. organizations will no longer receive updates or support from Kaspersky. Outside the U.S., many Kaspersky users are also re-evaluating their endpoint security provision.
Thankfully, wherever you are based, you can migrate to Sophos Endpoint in minutes.
