At least in nine US states, state institutions continue to use Kaspersky Lab's software, although at the federal level the use of this software is not approved.

At state bodies, at least nine US states continue to use Kaspersky Lab products, despite the company being excluded from the list of vendors whose software is approved for use by US government agencies. On this on Monday, July 24, the newspaper The Washington Post.

The publication interviewed officials in nine states from Oregon to Connecticut. In all these states, Kaspersky Lab's anti-virus software has been purchased for the past two years and are not going to refuse it in the near future.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Commission for the Safety of Consumer Goods, which also recently used the products of a Russian Internet company, could not unequivocally answer whether they continue to use this software and asked more time to determine which anti-virus systems are on their computers now.

On July 12, the US General Services Administration (GSA), regulating government contracts and tenders, announced the removal of Kaspersky Lab from lists of service providers in the field of information technology and digital photographic equipment. This happened against the backdrop of concern in the US that Russian special services can gain access to American networks.
