Record DDoS attack - 1.3 Tbit/s

In early February 2023, Qrator Labs announced a record-breaking DDoS attack in Russia. It has hit the IT infrastructure of cybersecurity solution developer Bi.Zone. At its peak, the power of the DDoS attack, which occurred on January 28, 2023, reached 1.3 Tb/s.

The cyber attack was of the UDP flood type, in which the victim server receives a huge number of large UDP packets from a wide range of IP addresses, as a result of which the attack provokes congestion of network interfaces by occupying the entire bandwidth with fake UDP packets.

The Qrator Labs network, as stated in the company, successfully filtered all illegitimate traffic, and the Bi.Zone infrastructure continued to function as usual, without downtime in the service. The attack on the Bi.Zone network did not achieve its goal - the Qrator Labs network, through its distributed infrastructure based on 15 traffic cleaning centers located around the world, coped with a large amount of illegitimate traffic and helped the company maintain service performance, despite peak loads during the attack, said Qrator Labs Alexander Lyamin.

According to him, the unprecedented increase in the number, intensity and speed of DDoS attacks, which began in 2022, does not slow down a year later. By the beginning of 2023, Qrator Labs is no longer recording base-level attacks, but massive attacks affecting the networks of even large providers, which confirms the fact of an attack organized on the Bi.Zone infrastructure. Such attacks are very destructive in nature and, if successful, can create colossal problems for the victim's business, Lyamin stressed.

According to Muslim Mezhlumov, director of products and technologies at Bi.Zone, the attackers launched a series of short attacks for several days. They used networks of infected IoT devices. They generate a multi-terabit stream without replacing source IP addresses, where several thousand hosts can create threats of a national scale, he said.

Freezing of IT project in Kazakhstan

At the end of October 2022, it became known about the freezing of the IT project of Kazakhstan and Russia for 2.4 billion rubles. We are talking about a contract that was concluded between the Safe Information Zone company (Bison, a partner of Sberbank, which was previously part of its structures) and the Kazakh JSC Transtelecom.

The six-year agreement was signed in 2019. Its goal was "to combine the expertise and experience of its own centers for monitoring and operational response to incidents," as well as to create a cloud solution in Kazakhstan that will automate "ensuring protection against cyber threats," the Bison website says. Informed sources told Kommersant that this project was frozen.

According to one of the interlocutors, the consequences of a break with a Russian partner depend on at what stage the project was.

Bison has almost no alienable solutions, it works on a service model. Management falls entirely on the local structure, this scheme is familiar to telecom operators, he said.

According to the source of the publication, Transtelecom will have to look for a new partner in cyber security order to "rewrite the project sharpened for Bison, it will take at least six months or a year.

The head of the analytical center Zecurion Vladimir Ulyanov told the newspaper that the project stop could be associated with the decision of the Kazakh side to independently develop cybersecurity. He also believes that the country's market is saturated with Western vendors, and stopping cooperation may negatively affect the reputation of Bison.

PIR Center consultant Oleg Shakirov recalled that Kazakhstan has been curtailing cooperation with Sberbank and its structures since the beginning of hostilities in Ukraine. So, the expert notes, back in April, the country refused to partner with the bank in the field of digitalization of the public sector.^[2]

In 2021, the key drivers import substitution were Governments of the Russian Federation recommendations and. The sanctions industries cyber security government's position was also strengthened by demands, and. In FSB FSTEC Bank of Russia 2022, this trend will only intensify thanks to new regulatory incentives, as well as due to the withdrawal of a number of Western manufacturers from the market.

Data security and cyber protection issues are a priority for every organization in the country. Import substitution did not come as a surprise to us: for many years we have strengthened our competencies in the fields of IT and cybersecurity, so technologically we are ready for new challenges. BI.ZONE, like many other ecosystem companies, has many of its own developments that are not only not inferior to Western counterparts who have left the market, but also bypass them in many respects. We are happy to share this knowledge and opportunities with the market and are ready to help Russian business even more, "said Stanislav Kuznetsov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank.

{{quote 'The most important thing that foreign vendors have lost, hastily leaving Russian customers, is trust. The departure of Western manufacturers has dramatically changed the attitude of business towards the issue of cybersecurity and who should provide it. At the same time, financial pressure deprives many organizations of the possibility of a complete restructuring of the cybersecurity system and its independent support, so we see a massive transition to a service model. Only it allows you to protect digital assets right now, and pay for it in parts and many times less. We initially built our business model in this vein and created our own services, so we are ready to quickly and efficiently respond to the requests of any organization in a variety of situations, "said Dmitry Samartsev, Director of BI.ZONE. }}

Also, the opening of an office in Krasnoyarsk allows attracting talented specialists from the region, because there are strong technical universities that train students in the areas of IT and KB. It is planned that the main part of the staff will consist of graduates of local universities.

"The growth in the number of BI. ZONE SOC customers in the Asia-Pacific region has significantly increased the burden on our Moscow team. Due to the time difference, 24/7 shift workers had increased daily peak loads. And for employees with a standard schedule of 5/2, the working day became irregular. All this increased the risk of damage to communications and the prompt solution of the tasks of our international customers. That is why we launched the SOC site in Krasnoyarsk. The presence of strong technical universities in the region made it possible to quickly staff the team with all the necessary specialists and improve the quality of service for customers, "said Teymur Heirhabarov, head of the BI.ZONE cyber threat monitoring and response center.

In particular, the DDoS protection service uses the partner Qrator traffic filtering network, and SOC services use specialized solutions from leading vendors, including IBM. Cloud infrastructure components are geographically distributed across different sites in the Russian Federation to ensure high availability and reliability of MSS.

MSS services significantly speed up the process of creating cybersecurity systems compared to traditional systems integration or enterprise SOC projects. Cloud solutions allow you to quickly connect the necessary protection service (from several hours to several weeks), easily manage and receive flexible reports in your personal account.
