Citation needed. I have not seen anything that supports the idea that Kaspersky is an arm of the Russian government. > So we need to drop them, as the federal agencies are doing. Is this a requirement by law/regulation for your departement?

Not because it's a bad product of its kind - far from it. It's been fairly good. Instead, I'd go with Applocker, and removing admin privileges - we already do patching fairly well. Kurt
