Kaspersky says Uncle Sam snubbed proposal to open up its code for third-party review

Kaspersky detailed a three-pillar transparency framework—US-localized data processing with strict access controls, regulator-selected third-party validation of inbound/outbound data flows, and ongoing independent review of threat database updates and product code—to counter US national security concerns and attempt to reverse the federal ban on its software; the US Department of Commerce has not engaged with the proposal, and as sales halt and update deadlines approach, Kaspersky is closing US operations while exploring similar arrangements in other regions.
