A US district court has upheld the American government's ban of Kaspersky Lab software from computers of federal agencies.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, sitting in Washington, DC, issued a ruling Wednesday to dismiss the two lawsuits Kaspersky had filed against Uncle Sam and the Department of Homeland Security challenging both the September 2017 Binding Operative Directive (BOD 17-01) and the Congressional National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the two documents that blocked government agencies from using Kaspersky Lab's products.
