Kaspersky proposes independent verification following US government ban on its products. The antivirus maker pledges to comply with Department of Commerce rulings but maintains the ban is politically motivated. The company offers a comprehensive assessment framework and will cease sales of new contracts in the US. Updates will be halted after September 29.

Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
– Kaspersky has proposed independent verification in response to the US government’s ban on its products, maintaining that the decision was politically motivated.
– The statement also indicates that Kaspersky has stopped sales of new contracts of its antivirus software and security products in the US, and will be prohibited from providing certain updates to US consumers and businesses after September 29.
– However, Kaspersky’s informational, educational products, and certain advisory services will still be available in the US market.
– The company asserted that it remains dedicated to delivering cybersecurity solutions and building a safer world, despite the ban.
