That means agencies must be clear of Kaspersky by Dec. 12, \u201cunless directed otherwise by DHS based on new information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a risk-based decision we need to make,\u201d White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Rob Joyce said Wednesday while speaking at the annual Billington Cybersecurity Summit. \u201cFor us the idea of a piece of software that\u2019s going to live on our networks, going to touch every file on those networks, going to be able to at the discretion of the company decide what goes back to their cloud in Russia \u2014&nbsp;and then what you really need to understand is under Russian law the company must collaborate with the FSB. So for us in the government that was an unacceptable risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DHS said Kaspersky will be given a chance to offer a \u201cwritten response addressing the department\u2019s concerns or to mitigate those concerns,\u201d an offer that is also extended to other companies that feel they will be adversely impacted by this directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGiven that Kaspersky Lab doesn\u2019t have inappropriate ties with any government, the company is disappointed with the decision by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, but also is grateful for the opportunity to provide additional information to the agency in order to confirm that these allegations are completely unfounded,\u201d Kaspersky Lab told Fifth Domain in an email Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comment continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link

publicly about those concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard Ledgett, who was most recently deputy director of NSA until his retirement at the end of April, spoke about the U.S. intelligence community\u2019s concerns in a July podcast interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe concern over Kaspersky is well founded and I think that there\u2019s growing

networks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ledgett, like most current officials, noted there is much he cannot say on this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
