With the recent reports of the Fed removing Kaspersky from GSA as an approved vendor, there have been one or two questions on whether we should continue using Kaspersky and possibly switch. So my question is for those existing Kaspersky institutions: Have the latest reports caused you to rethink Kaspersky? Have similar concerns been raised? Is everyone scrambling to switch out for a different solution?
