Homeland Security drops the hammer on Kaspersky Lab with preemptive ban

Despite pending legislation to ban US federal government offices from using Kaspersky Lab security software, Homeland Security has issued a Binding Operational Directive demanding that the products be removed within 90 days.
The directive gives government IT managers 30 days to identify which – if any – of their systems have Kaspersky software installed, 60 days to develop a plan to get rid of it, and by the 90-day mark it must be uninstalled, unless the DHS advises them otherwise in the meantime.
