Launch System Integrator Partner Program

MTS PJSC, digital ecosystem, on December 20, 2023 announced the launch of a partner program of the CloudMTS provider for system integrators and companies providing consulting and outsourcing services in the field of IT. The provider creates technological and industry ecosystems of partners to comprehensively solve customers' business problems. Until 2025, the cloud provider plans to unite more than 100 of the country's leading integrators in the ecosystem.

The provider plans to attract existing and new partners to the program, providing services to customers in more than 20 sectors of the economy. These are integrators working in retail and e-commerce, fintech, insurance, production, production, transport, logistics, power, media, science, education and other industries. The program will be of interest to companies whose specialization is the deployment of enterprise management systems, warehouses, supply chains, business process automation, electronic document management, and customer interaction programs in the cloud. The offer is relevant for integrators of solutions in the field of business analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, information security and custom development.

There are two basic formats for interaction between a partner and a cloud provider. According to the first - agency agreement, the company attracts potential customers for CloudMTS, receiving a reward for this. In the second case, the partner acquires CloudMTS virtual infrastructure at a discount to deploy its products and provide services to the customer based on it. It is also possible to connect non-standard partner agreements to the program.

The provider's program has three stages of partnership development. Starting - Basic - is assigned to all companies from the moment of joining the program and is retained by those partners with whom the total revenue from joint projects with CloudMTS for six months of cooperation did not exceed 6 million rubles. Depending on the growth in total revenue, the integrator is assigned one of the following partner statuses: Expert or Professional. Both, in addition to increasing discounts and rewards, open up the opportunity to receive a ribate (return of part of the funds for purchases throughout the year) and participate in projects of clients of the MTS group of companies.

Using the cloud, integrators can provide their services to customers without capital investment in infrastructure, thereby increasing the speed of deployment of projects and reducing their own costs. In the program, we removed the minimum threshold for registering transactions in order to support partners of any scale. The average amount of economic benefit for our partners, taking into account discounts for customers, can reach 40% of successful transactions. This will allow us to attract industry integrators. By creating a technological ecosystem of CloudMTS partners, we are expanding our own expertise in each individual sector of the economy and will be able to comprehensively solve different business tasks of the customer within the same cloud infrastructure, "said Anastasia Kulina, head of CloudMTS partner programs.

Using Qrator Labs to protect against DDoS attacks

The ecosystem MTS announced on August 29, 2023 that cloudy provider CloudMTS has introduced a partner platform-based solution to Qrator Labs protect applications and web resources DDoS-attacks from any complexity or geographic location of the attacker.

A DDoS attack is an attacker's action that aims to disable a web resource using constant streams of requests to it from hundreds of thousands of infected devices located around the world. Such an attack is difficult to detect and even more difficult to neutralize, since traffic in such a situation is as similar as possible to the activity of ordinary users.

According to data to Qrator Labs, the number of attacks continues to grow steadily. The sharp drop of more than 30% that we saw in the fourth quarter of 2022 continues to win back its positions. In the first six months of 2023, the total number of assaults rose again, an increase of 40%. In the second quarter of 2023 financial , the segment suffered the most from DDoS attacks, which accounted for 44.34%. The second and third lines were taken by segments e-commerce and - online education 13.68% and 11.32%, respectively.

Protection of applications and web resources using the service takes place in several stages. In the first, all traffic arriving at the protected resource is redirected to the Qrator Labs partner network. Traffic analysis is carried out at all layers of the protocol stack, including the application layer (L7 OSI model). After in-depth filtering using various algorithms, the cleared traffic is directed to the protected application either through a public network or via a specially organized L2 VPN. DDoS attack traffic is blocked on the perimeter of the Qrator Labs partner network, not reaching client resources.

At the same time, ordinary users gain access to web resources without any delays and CAPTCHA checks. Application protection and technical support is carried out in 24/7 mode, all traffic statistics for the period are available in the clients' personal account. The solution will be relevant for retailers, banks, investment and telecom companies, as well as enterprises operating in the field of e-commerce and other companies doing their business on the Internet.

According to MTS RED, in the first quarter of 2023, the number of DDoS attacks on Russia increased tenfold compared to the same period in 2022. The difficulty in protecting against this kind of intervention is that their traffic is quite difficult to distinguish from the actions of an ordinary user. Our service based on Qrator Labs solutions allows you to solve this problem and protect applications from DDoS attacks of any power, - said Vera Bayeva, Director of Product Development at CloudMTS.

We are pleased that in partnership with CloudMTS, we have been able to join forces to create a proactive protection service against DDoS attacks for companies from all business segments. For us as a vendor, partnering with CloudMTS opens up opportunities to scale our solution and work with a large pool of customers from various industries, "said Alexander Lyamin, founder of Qrator Labs .

The release chat boat Open AI ChatGPT has turned neuronets into the mainstream, they already know how to carry out routine business tasks. World leading investment industries in:,,, and AI medicine. clouds We fintech cyber security see that this trend is also true for.

At the same time, the solution is easily scalable and meets strict information security requirements.

According to MTS, testing the service on the analysis of impersonal meta-data of web pages has demonstrated the high flexibility of the system - the processing speed can be set depending on the available budget, and applications are created, reconfigured and deleted in "one click."
