Care of vendors as a window of opportunity
Oksana Ulyaninkova, head of promising projects at
In 2023, we expect continued movement towards import substitution and the emergence of new products from both mature market players and new teams in the field of cybersecurity.
Thus, by the end of 2022 severalnew NGFW solutions. In addition, Russian players see prospects in the development of new areas for themselves, which were “freed up” with the departure of Western vendors, and are betting on the development of an ecosystem of products. This, in turn, will also give impetus to the growth of M&A transactions in the field of cybersecurity in Russia.
In addition, it is worth noting the very highthe likelihood of the emergence of new developers in the field of cybersecurity: integrators see demand and understand that now there is a chance for Russian IS vendors, and therefore they are ready to develop the product business and bring their developments to the market.
Post-quantum encryption in public security
Anton Guglya, head of the company developing domestic cybersecurity solutions based on post-quantum encryption algorithms QApp
In the post-quantum cryptography market, we expectsignificant increase in the number of pilot projects. Moreover, this equally applies to Russia, European countries, and the United States. The catalyst for piloting is the increasingly clear threat of cyberattacks using quantum computers, the growing interest in technology and the frequent involvement of administrative resources by the state apparatus. For example, the White House, in its May and November memorandums, ordered US government agencies to prepare for a widespread transition to post-quantum algorithms by May 2023, and by November to release a transition assessment strategy. France this week for the first time used post-quantum encryption to transmit a diplomatic message, and just a few months ago, the Bank of France showed the compatibility of its systems with post-quantum cryptography. There are more and more cases, which means that the transition from piloting in limited perimeters to industrial use is not far off.
Another trend that was clearly visible in 2022year and, most likely, will only get stronger in 2023, is an increase in the volume of state support for companies from the technology sector. A wide variety of tools are available: grant programs, accelerators, hackathons, and much more. This is especially true for representatives of the information security sector, which is also no coincidence - last year, nine out of ten Russian companies were subjected to cyber attacks, so supporting projects in this area is of high value.
Growing number of cyberthreats in banking
Anton Yakimov, Deputy General Director for Technological Development of T1 Group
Geopolitical situation, low entry thresholdThe world of cybercrime, a large number of 0-day vulnerabilities and a low level of information security maturity in many companies will contribute to the growth in the number of cyber threats. Most likely, we will encounter the following situations:
- The number of attacks using bankingTrojans on clients of Russian banks. The reason is simple: users will be forced to download apps from untrusted sources due to the removal of official Russian banking apps from Google Play.
- The number of phishing scam attacks from outside will increasefraudsters due to the large number of leaked customer databases of online services. It is probably not worth expecting a decrease in the number of leaks of personal data of customers of online services, since in the current quarter we did not observe the active application of fines to companies whose data was leaked as a result of cyber attacks.
- Massive DDoS attacks on Russian online resources, attacks by hacktivist groups, as well as supply chain attacks on small IT companies that provide services to large businesses will continue.
Unmanned Helicopter and New UAV Laws
Nikolay Burdin, commercial director of Aeromax, a member company of the Moscow Innovation Cluster
Interest in unmanned technologies is growing every year fromyear, both from the state and from business. In September of this year, the UAV market was predicted to grow to 50 billion rubles by 2025. Now manufacturers and operators have already established interaction with regulatory authorities on the issue of flight permission.
The next stage will be to increase production andincreasing the number of drones. This process coincided with a shortage of foreign components and a transition to domestic components, which makes the task more ambitious. The production of domestic models will be increased and new cooperations will be formed.
Among the most promising areasThe use of unmanned aerial systems can include cargo delivery, agricultural tasks and terrain monitoring for various purposes: from monitoring construction work to monitoring the state of the environment. This requires different types of equipment: helicopters, airplanes, copters. But in order to increase the number of aircraft in the fleet to the volume required by the market, we need to develop the production of domestic components. First of all, it is necessary to invest in the production of engines, avionics and autopilot systems as key areas for the development of the unmanned technology industry.
A trend that is already clearly visible isstrengthening control of airspace and the movement of drones, for example, in some regions a ban has been introduced on the launch of UAVs by private individuals. Legislative measures and aircraft accounting systems may be forthcoming.
Now the number ofoffers of unmanned vehicles from Chinese manufacturers. It is important for Russian enterprises to work on competitive domestic models. To do this, it is necessary to replace foreign technologies
Next year we will present a civilunmanned helicopter weighing 3 tons. It will have unique flight, technical and operational characteristics: for example, it will lift up to a ton of payload into the air. The first tests of the new model are planned for the second quarter of 2023.
Aeromax will continue commercial operationexisting helicopter fleet under a pilot legal regime. We will strive to expand our presence: we currently provide territory monitoring services using unmanned aerial systems in more than 50 regions of the country. In addition, we plan to launch a Flight Control Center (MCC), which is designed to provide management and monitoring of the company’s entire aircraft fleet.
Rapid import substitution
Alexey Sividov, General Director of Avtonomika LLC, a member company of the Moscow Innovation Cluster
Trends are saved:this is the development of electric vehicles using both classic batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. They allow you to produce your own energy, and not be powered by a built-in battery. It is also worth noting the development of unmanned vehicles and intelligent transport networks - special intelligent systems that effectively manage traffic flows based on innovative solutions. The concept of "Internet of things" is actively developing, which allows real-time assessment of the situation on the roads. It is especially important for the industry that trends do not change frequently, as it is rather inert and cannot quickly implement and adapt new technologies.
Now the directions will be actively developed,which are critical for the process of digitalization of the transport industry, as well as market segments that can be replenished quickly and without space costs. So, for example, the areas of rapid import substitution of spare parts (reverse engineering), reconstruction of cooperative chains are developing.
A separate interesting trend is noted in the spherelocalization of the production of innovative products, which previously developed within the framework of international cooperation: the departed companies left their technologies in Russia, thereby retaining the technological base for the independent development of new solutions.
We can accurately predict what ourunmanned communal robots will start cleaning up Moscow. At first, these will be simple operations, for example, cleaning the streets with the help of unmanned vehicles. After that, we will begin to complicate the algorithms on an ongoing basis, adapting to the urban environment and customer requests. It is planned that the changes will be so dynamic that the effect will be noticeable almost weekly.
We will have to move away from the classical model"drones", that is, work according to given algorithms, to the development of the concept of "curiosity" in the robot itself to search for and recognize specific objects along the way. This is similar to the principle of self-learning, when the initial algorithms can be optimized by the robot itself for situational response to dynamic, pseudo-dynamic and static obstacles.
We plan to test our drones in allweather conditions in Moscow, to create a robotic electric sidewalk cleaner that will actively help the driver operate communal equipment. There is also an ambitious task for 2023 - to start building a plant for the mass production of electrical utility vehicles.
But, in addition to the technological component, weIt is also important to work with the perception of UAV technologies in the civilian environment. It is important not only to introduce transport innovations, but also to convey to citizens/potential beneficiaries of such developments all the benefits of operating drones off public roads in the urban environment.
