The U.S. Department of Commerce is weighing an enforcement action against Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
President Joe Biden’s administration is looking at an enforcement action against the company under its online security rules, the report said.
The administration ramped up its national security probe into Kaspersky Lab’s antivirus software last year as fears grew about Russian cyberattacks after Moscow invaded Ukraine.
U.S. regulators have already banned federal government use of Kaspersky software.
