📋 Tender Overview
Rostelecom spoke about ways to improve the cyber resilience of enterprises at a business event in Nizhny Novgorod, which was held with the participation of government officials, public organizations and law enforcement agencies.
According to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the share of illegal actions committed in the region since the beginning of the year in the IT sphere amounted to 40% of the total number of crimes. The material damage caused to citizens and organizations is estimated at almost 1.6 billion rubles, which is one and a half times more than last year.
Participants noted that most network incidents occur not so much due to the insecurity of information systems, but rather due to social engineering.
Vladimir Ustyuzhaninov, Director of the Project Office for Industry Solutions of the Volga Regional Directorate of PJSC Rostelecom, said that the company's monitoring centers have recently recorded an increase in cyberattacks - attacks mainly target critical information infrastructure. According to him, there is not a decrease, but a return to the peak values ??of network incidents in 2022. Attackers continue to test the vulnerabilities of the financial sector, the telecom industry, and manufacturing enterprises.
In production facilities where automation is performed on an imported element base, information security issues often fade into the background. The primary task for them, the speaker explained, is to support technologies that require replacement, or to search for alternative domestic solutions. And yet, Vladimir Ustyuzhaninov believes, due to the growth of cyber threats, companies are forced to pay more attention to protecting their information resources.
