Kaspersky Lab's revenue worldwide 2016-2022

Kaspersky Lab reported a global revenue of approximately 752.5 million U.S. dollars in 2022. Kaspersky Lab is Russia's highest earning information security provider, followed by Citadel and Softline.

Antivirus market in Russia

The two major antivirus providers among Russian companies are Kaspersky Lab and Doctor Web. Both are listed in the Russian registry of national software vendors, which means that their products can be supplied to state institutions. As of August 2021, Kaspersky Lab was one of the leading Windows anti-malware application vendors. Doctor Web focuses on making the information security industry within Russia independent from imports. Several foreign brands, such as Avast, Bitdefender, Eset, and Norton, stopped operating in Russia over its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Kaspersky Lab ban on U.S. government computers

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security suspected Kaspersky Lab of cooperating with Russian security authorities in 2017, subsequently prohibiting its use on computers within the government. In March 2022, the company was claimed to be presenting a threat to national security of the U.S. That meant that U.S. companies could not use the Universal Service Fund to buy Kaspersky Lab products. The fund is generally used to provide communications services for low-income customers, schools, and libraries, among others.
