The Russian market of cybersecurity intensively develops, and all relevant threats quickly enough find reflection in adequate solutions on reduction of risk of their implementation. Stirs a little that the Russian market of cybersecurity is absolutely opaque. There is no regulating document obliging the organizations and the enterprise to open the losses from the virus attacks or the purposeful attacks of cybercriminals. The separate messages about the financial losses suffered because of cybersecurity incidents, as a rule, filtering into mass media are followed by apologies of editions in the following number … Probably, therefore many of us use foreign analytical reports: different magic quadrants, estimates of a maturity of the market and separate companies, etc. At the same time very few people know that, for example, in Gartner, these estimates often become only on the basis of the content analysis of media and contain the system mistakes generating inconsistency and a contradiction.

From threats on the first place, most likely, nevertheless there are frauds. Especially brightly it is visible on the example of banking sector. At the September InfoSecurity Russia conference the loss estimate from frauds in RBS in 2.5 billion euros in Russia sounded.

Among other most relevant and large-scale cybersecurity threats I will note large-scale use of the Internet which is still not safe for most the enterprises and organizations.

However and without the Internet of problems at the companies is enough: still requires targeting and maintenance of an order access to corporate network and information resources. Personalisation of access using "the electronic passport" — digital certificates — significantly reduces risks of implementation of the attacks, both external, and internal.

The problem of authenticated access is relevant also for fashionable nowadays (and in general, long ago known and evolutionarily developing) cloud computing. The trouble is that today it is very difficult "measure" security and consequently, it is difficult to be realistic about risks in clouds.

As for "national peculiarities" of cybersecurity threats, today in this sense Russia as it is represented to me, does not differ from the rest of the world.
