Smooth Transition Promised for Kaspersky’s Customers

Neill Feather, president and chief operating officer at Pango, is promising a smooth transition over to Ultra AV. He told Axios: “The good news is that there’s really no action required by customers. Those things that they do need to be aware of and need to know, we’ll lay out for them in a series of email communications and then we also have our customer support team ramped up and ready to assist.”

Both companies are keeping quiet though about the financial details of the deal.

Once the transition is complete, Kaspersky US customers will no longer be the Russian company’s IP. It comes as the Biden administration scrutinizes other software companies from “foreign adversary” nations like Russia and China as potential threats. As the war in Ukraine continues, other Russian firms may soon be in the US Government’s crosshairs.
