2024: Implementation of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks

The ski resort Sberbank "" Cuffer has implemented a solution Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks to provide cyber security control systems for the automation of buildings and engineering systems of the complex. The implementation was carried out by the integrator according to STEP LOGIC the scheme recommended by "." Kaspersky Lab Step Logic announced this on May 29, 2024.

The high level of automation in modern infrastructure facilities imposes increased security requirements: even small downtime caused by a failure of engineering or security systems leads to large financial losses. According to to data Kaspersky ICS CERT, according to the results of the second half of 2023, building automation systems were included in the top three industries with the largest share on computers ASU which malicious objects were blocked.

The introduction of KICS for Networks at the Manzherok resort has reduced the risks of unauthorized connections to engineering networks, changes in settings and operating modes of equipment, including from contractors with unauthorized devices. As of May 2024, the solution monitors 13 engineering systems with more than 500 devices.

The implementation of KICS for Networks has reduced the cost of detecting information security incidents and eliminating their consequences. Thanks to the increased security and reliability of the systems, we can guarantee the continuity and high quality of the services provided. This, in turn, contributes to the growth of customer loyalty, strengthening the positive image of the brand. We are glad to cooperate with Kaspersky Lab and hope for its expansion. I would also like to thank STEP LOGIC for its assistance in implementing the project of our partners. We will continue to prioritize innovation and improvement of our systems in order to provide guests with high-quality and reliable service, "said Andrey Baranov, Information Technology Director of Manzherok All-Season Resort LLC.

At the implementation stage, our specialists configured more than two dozen switches to collect traffic using the RSPAN protocol. For several months, the system worked in training mode, as a result, more than 40,000 network control rules and processes were created. In addition to the main tasks, using the KICS for Networks functionality, we were also able to successfully identify errors in the configuration of lower-level devices, - said Nikolai Zabusov, Director of the IB STEP LOGIC Department. - Other advantages of the solution include support for the function of importing data from files. This greatly simplified the work on adjusting the parameters of a large number of devices as part of the process of eliminating false positives caused by parallel work on the modernization of engineering and network equipment. Today, KICS for Networks is one of the most advanced domestic solutions in the field of detecting intrusions of potentially hostile actions in the industrial network.

To maintain sustainability and competitiveness, companies are introducing specialized cyber defense solutions. We are pleased that our KICS for Networks solution, designed to monitor traffic in APCS, is now used to protect industrial traffic in the engineering systems of the Manzherok ski resort. Kaspersky Lab offers a whole range of solutions for protecting building engineering and automation systems - an area that is developing at a high pace and is increasingly becoming the target of cyber attacks, "said Marina Usova, director of corporate sales at Kaspersky Lab in Russia.
