An IT solution based on domestic servers and information security systems is designed to monitor and protect against complex threats and targeted attacks.

Information security products are deployed on Graviton servers S2122I 2U size. The equipment is based on the Tundra motherboard and is equipped with two Intel Xeon Scalable processors and up to 2 TB of RAM. This solution is applied by large and medium-sized organizations.

Cybersecurity is key to sustainable enterprise operations. The issue is especially acute in the industrial sector, in government organizations, where the process of building protection against modern cyber threats is closely related to import substitution of software and equipment. In addition, the number of attacks is growing every year, and they are becoming more sophisticated and targeted. The software and hardware complex, created together with our partners, will protect the IT infrastructure of the enterprise. It uses modern solutions. PAC was created by domestic companies, which is important in the context of replacing software with Russian analogues, and meets all regulatory requirements. noted Marina Usova, Head of Corporate Sales at Kaspersky Lab

As part of the creation of the PAC, the Axoft technical team implemented the following stages: product deployment and configuration; checking the readiness of the KATA/KEDR system for testing; Testing threat detection components in web and mail traffic KEDR threat detection testing receiving the file and sending it for analysis in Sandbox using Kaspersky EDR; creating a ban policy.

The customer will be able to assemble the PAC on the Graviton servers according to two scenarios, which will solve various types of problems. To ensure protection against complex targeted attacks, a solution that includes Kaspersky Lab products is suitable. To deploy infrastructure in the cloud, PAK optionally comes with the Brest Virtualization Tools software package and the Astra Linux operating system, developed by Astra Group.

We conducted studies that showed that the sharing of KATA and KEDR solutions with the Graviton server S2122I solves the main tasks in ensuring cybersecurity. PAC based on these solutions effectively analyzes network traffic in real time, detects malicious activity, and also detects complex threats. told Alexander Filchenkov, Director of the Department of Server and Network Systems "Graviton"
