The agreement which we signed with Kaspersky Lab allows to provide the Rostov region with protective technologies. Now among them and the platform for protection against the target attacks. Such attacks are carefully studied under each specific organization and often do not detect themselves for a long time in any way. Espionage, leakage of confidential data, idle time of the enterprise or blow to reputation can become a result. The solution of Kaspersky Lab resists to attacks at all stages and is capable both to detect already begun attack, and to protect the organization from potential threats, having estimated risks for security in the current infrastructureHerman Lopatkin, the minister of information technologies and communications of the Rostov region commented.

Information system protection is relevant more than ever, especially if it is about crucial infrastructure and confidential data with which state bodies work. Cyber attacks to the similar purposes can have extremely serious effects, and numerous cases of date leaks from state systems, observable worldwide, confirm it.
