The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has directed all federal civilian executive branch agencies to immediately stop procuring hardware, software, and services from China's DeepSeek and its affiliates, and to remove DeepSeek products from existing government IT systems. The ban also covers third-party products and services built on DeepSeek architecture.
