Kaspersky Lab has announced the closure of its US division and the layoff of all associated workers. This decision follows the US Commerce Department's ban on the sale of Kaspersky software in the United States, which is set to take effect on July 20. Kaspersky stated that business opportunities in the country are no longer viable. The shutdown of US operations will be completed next month. The ban has been referred to as 'Biden's ban' in some reports.
