Kaspersky Shuts Down UK Office, Lays Off Staff Amid Regulatory Scrutiny
Kaspersky, the Russian cybersecurity firm, is closing its United Kingdom office and laying off its staff, following similar actions in the U.S. Kaspersky aims to shift its business strategy towards the partner channel in the U.K., maintaining access to its European team for customers. The company, facing accusations of ties to the Russian government, has been banned from selling products in the U.S., prompting layoffs and a complete market exit. The transition has seen customers unexpectedly switched to a new antivirus provider, UltraAV, without explicit consent.
