Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab said on Monday it will ask independent parties to review the security of its anti-virus software, which the US government has said could jeopardise national security, citing concerns over Kremlin influence and hijacking by Russian spies.
Kaspersky, which research firm Gartner ranks as one of the world's top cybersecurity vendors for consumers, said in a statement that it would submit the source code of its software and future product updates for review by a broad cross-section of computer security experts and government officials.
