According to the speaker, the most active business uses technology virtual reality in designing and training employees, they account for 28% of all public VR cases over the past year.

"With the development of new technologies, the traditional class ceases to fully meet the requirements of the modern educational process. Lessons in the same audience, the lack of analysis of the format of training and effective and intuitive means of monitoring and managing teaching are just some of the problems that indicate the need to increase the effectiveness of the education process, "the speaker is sure.

Erdni Barinov, Minister of Education and Science of Kalmykia, agreed with him, who spoke about the project to implement a unified educational information system in the Republic, which will combine data on student performance and the work of teachers, and will also allow them to undergo online certification.

Another topic of discussion was the automation of information security (IS) processes. According to Pavel Kornilov, head of the monitoring and automation systems department of IB STEP LOGIC, in the modern world and, in particular, in the IB with huge flows of information, the issue of automating at least routine processes, ensuring the receipt and conversion of information in automatic mode is especially acute. He presented several options for using the SGRC system, which allows you to implement not only strategic management processes, but also most of the functional ones (for example, asset management, vulnerability management, documentation, incident response).
