The federal government needs antivirus and malware protection at least as much as any other large organization, if not more. But now, after first stopping new purchases, and then asking private business to cut ties, the feds are officially blocking any government use of Kaspersky Lab products, citing security concerns over the company’s reported ties to the Kremlin.

The Department of Homeland Security today issued a binding operational directive — that’s an order, to most of us — requiring all federal agencies to excise Kaspersky software from their systems.
