But security experts and some U.S. politicians say the move is mostly meaningless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, the U.S. government <a>barred federal agencies<\/a> from using Kaspersky\u2019s anti-virus products because of concerns about its ties to the Kremlin and Russian spy operations. News reports have since linked Kaspersky software to an <a>alleged theft of cybersecurity information<\/a> from the U.S. National Security Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has repeatedly denied the allegations and says it\u2019s been dragged into the middle of a \u201cgeopolitical fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Kaspersky says it will provide the source code of its software \u2014 including software updates and threat-detection rules updates \u2014 for independent review and assessment. Outside experts, however, say such a review can only reveal so much, and thus would do little to address <a>concerns of customers<\/a> and the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re trying to salvage their reputation,\u201d said Blake Darche, a former NSA worker who is now chief security officer for security firm Area 1. \u201cI don\u2019t see how it addresses the allegations against them in any meaningful way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis review is a red herring that doesn\u2019t address any of the fundamental underlying concerns with Kaspersky products, most significantly, that Russian law enables the Kremlin to monitor data transmissions, including Kaspersky\u2019s,\u201d U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat and regular Kaspersky critic, said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suspicion has taken a toll on Kaspersky. Shortly after the federal ban, retailers such as Best Buy and Office Depot also stopped selling its consumer security software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then news broke in early October that hackers allegedly working for the Kremlin used Kaspersky\u2019s software to steal information from a National Security Agency contractor about how the U.S. infiltrates foreign networks and defends against cyberattacks. The company denied involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CEO Eugene Kaspersky <a>said on Twitter<\/a> on Monday that\u2019s he\u2019s evaluating contractors who can conduct an independent code review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 2020, the company says it plans to open three centers in Europe, Asia and the United States where it says customers, government agencies and concerned organizations will also be able to review its code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security researcher Chris Wysopal said he welcomed multiple, independent reviewers, but cautioned that such analyses can provide only a snapshot of how the software works at a given moment in time. Like phone apps and other programs, security software is frequently updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven with this transparency, there\u2019s still a level of trust you have to give the company,\u201d said Wysopal, the chief technology officer of Vericode, a part of CA Technologies. \u201cBut this is a world we live in. There\u2019s a supply chain. We live in a world of dynamic software, constantly updating.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move comes a month after the U.S. government barred agencies from using the
