Kaspersky has repeatedly denied that it has ties to any government and said it would not help any government with cyber espionage.

WASHINGTON: Moscow-based cyber security firm Kaspersky Lab said on Tuesday it is considering making changes to its subsidiary that sells products to the US government, at a time when the company is facing allegations that it may be vulnerable to Russian influence. 

The US Senate is voting this week on a defense policy spending bill that includes language that would ban Kaspersky Lab products from being used by US government agencies.
