Kaspersky in Higher Ed

[Miguel Hernandez <miguel.hernandez () DOMAIL MARICOPA EDU>]

Team,

 A little over a year ago (before the presidential election), we entered
into a multi-year contract with Kaspersky to standardize on endpoint
protection for our entire district.  With the recent reports of the Fed
removing Kaspersky from GSA as an approved vendor, there have been one or
two questions on whether we should continue using Kaspersky and possibly
switch.

So my question is for those existing Kaspersky institutions: Have the
latest reports caused you to rethink Kaspersky?  Have similar concerns been
raised?  Is everyone scrambling to switch out for a different solution?
