Kaspersky Lab Moving Core Infrastructure To Switzerland (securityweek.com)

wiredmikey writes: As part of its Global Transparency Initiative, Russia-based Kaspersky Lab today announced that it will adjust its infrastructure to move a number of "core processes" from Russia to Switzerland. The security firm has faced challenges after several governments have banned Kaspersky software over security concerns, despite no hard evidence that Kaspersky has ever colluded with the Russian government. As an extension to its transparency initiative, announced in October 2017, the firm is now going further by making plans for its processes and source code to be independently supervised by a qualified third-party. To this end, it is supporting the creation of a new, non-profit "Transparency Center" able to assume this responsibility not just for itself, but for other partners and members who wish to join. Noticeably, Kaspersky Lab does not link the move specifically to the effects of the U.S. ban, but sees wider issues of global trust emerging.

Not sure that'll help

Eugene Kaspersky still lives in Moscow and he's still an ex-KGB agent. These two facts alone make look Kaspersky highly untrustworthy considering that the Kremlin is waging e-war with the rest of the world.

You clearly don't understand economics

Do you really believe that the current financial system is actual capitalism? The world hasn't had real capitalism for centuries; this is the most regulated economy in the history of the world.

When connected elites use the state to benefit their operation at the expense of everyone else, that is not free market capitalism. Capitalism entails a truly free market, where no company is artificially propped up by government.
