Seems more like the U.S. Government doesn't want to get rid of Kaspersky. They choose not to replace compromised devices. Doesn't seem like it is a hard technical challenge at all, rather the lack of action seems more intentional.
Surely we can all agree this is an issue of National Security. And if the task is to be done with no Federal assistance or financial help whatsoever, it seems clear that the government is compromised.
- juliangoldsmith 8y agoThis seems more like a Pointy-Haired Boss-type move to me. Bosses in actual IT businesses often don't understand what's involved with a large IT project; what hope does a 79-year-old senator have of understanding what removing Kaspersky software from the entirety of the United States government's systems would take?
