2021: Compatibility of GM-Box docking station and Rutoken products for office workplace security

On October 28, 2021, Aktiv, a Russian manufacturer and developer of information security software and hardware, and Getmobit, a developer and manufacturer of hardware products and software for comprehensive workplace automation, announced the start of a technological partnership and compatibility of the GM Smart System solution and Rutoken products. 

The Aktiv and Getmobit teams conducted a series of tests that confirmed the correct joint operation of the universal hybrid docking station GM-Box (part of the GM Smart System platform) and the Rutoken S, Rutoken Lite devices, as well as cryptographic the "Rutoken" EDS 2.0 2100 smart cards and Rutoken 2.0 EDS 2100 tokens, Rutoken EDS 3.0. NFC

Based on the results of testing, the partners signed a compatibility certificate that guarantees users the availability of product functions in joint solutions between Aktiv and Getmobit.

Product compatibility is one of the stages of the deep integration of Asset and Getmobit technologies in projects for creating work environments based on the concept of a "smart workplace" with special information security requirements. The companies agreed to continuously test products at the Getmobit stand. Customers and business partners of companies can quickly reproduce and simulate possible application cases. This will reduce the "output" of functionally working solutions.

The GM-Box Universal Hybrid Docking Station, which combines the functions of a thin client and an IP video phone, is designed to create a unified digital workspace in organizations.Rutoken certified cryptographic protection in integration with the GM-Box docking station and the GM Smart System platform solve the problems of identifying and authenticating users and creating electronic signatures. 

In all versions of the GM-Box universal docking station, Rutoken devices work out of the box, without the need to install additional software on the GM-Box and make complex settings. The following collaboration scenarios are provided and implemented:

• User identification and authentication on the GM-Box universal docking station using tokens and Rutoken smart cards. The use of hardware and software components in the process of user identification and authentication increases the security of the information system to attempts of unauthorized access, since to gain access to the system you need not only knowledge of the user's password, but also the presence of a physical device (token or smart card), the theft of which is always quickly detected.
• The use of tokens or smart cards in a legally significant document management system. In this case, the GM-Box docking station software transparently "passes" the smart card or token to a remote machine, where the electronic signature of the document is generated using the information system software. 

"We are excited about the technological collaboration with Getmobit, which will strengthen the position of our companies in the market in the future. The value of such solutions is fully domestic developed. The introduction of GM-Box universal docking stations developed by Getmobit simplifies the management IT infrastructure of companies and reduces business operating costs. The use of - intellectual USB tockens or Rutoken smart cards increases the level safety by sharing hardware and software components during user authentication, and also creates user convenience in systems legally significant electronic document management by placing a private electronic signature key on the same token as used when authorizing a user in an information system, "- says Pavel Anfimov, head of product and integration at Aktiv.

"Partnerships with Russian developers are my number one priority in the strategic development of Getmobit. The technologies we develop harmonize the infrastructure space of customers. They are built on the principles of openness and allow you to "glue" products and solutions together. This gives customers more value, so they get a complete integrated solution. The ecosystem created around our platform gives our workshop partners the opportunity to quickly "enter" the market. Information security is a critical factor in the workplace infrastructure, and its functional quality is ensured by integration with the technologies of the Aktiv company. I am glad that our agreement on technological partnership is enshrined not only on paper, but also confirmed by working solutions. Tokens and Rutoken smart cards are a generally recognized means of authentication and electronic signature on the Russian market, and their integration into our solution was a logical and natural step, "- says Maria Rukavishnikova, founder and CEO of Getmobit.

2020: GM Smart System - a universal platform for unifying the work environment and remote work

Each employee's workplace should be understandable, convenient and safe - both in the office and at home. This is one of the main trends in the organization of work, which has become a real challenge for many companies in a pandemic. The GM Smart System hardware and software platform, developed by the Russian company Getmobit for the b2b and b2g segments, is designed specifically to effectively solve this complex problem. The platform can be used both for organizing a workplace within a corporation, and for the safe remote work of employees at home. The TAdviser think tank examined the capabilities and technical characteristics of the GM Smart System. Read more here.

Inclusion of the platform in the Register of Domestic Software

On July 26, 2019, the Expert Council of the Ministry of Digital Development included the GM Smart System platform of the Russian company Getmobit in the register of domestic software in the BIOS and other embedded software class. The status "included in the register" confirms the "Russian citizenship" of the product and recommends its use in state departments and companies. Inclusion in the register will simplify the rationale for choosing a platform and speed up the assessment procedure for compliance with the requirements of Russian legislation. This was reported on August 20, 2019 by Getmobit.

The GM Smart System platform was developed to solve the problems of unifying corporate workspaces in the context of the transition to virtual desktop technologies and web services, the need to ensure the "connectivity" of technologies in the workplace and system management from a single point. According to the developer, the platform functionality gives the customer a qualitative leap in the transformation of the end-point infrastructure due to the versatility of the solution for various categories of automated workplaces - stationary, remote, "guest," "dedicated."

The flagship product of the "smart" system is a universal docking station GM-Box with single access user functions for and, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure for to the browser services: unified communications multimedia,,. VoIP-telephony to video services The two-loop modification of the docking station works in two independent circuits of the network infrastructure, thus solving the problem of reducing physical units in the technicians workplace and issues. information security The GM Smart System software architecture includes the following components: GM Soft Kit - system and application software to ensure the functionality of the GM-Box device; server GM Management System components, which include the GM Server Management Server, Management Server Agent and Web Management Console, and GM Mobile mobile application Assistant for identifications authentications and using. smartphone

According to Getmobit, the inclusion of a platform for a "smart" office in the Russian register is one of the arguments in favor of increasing confidence in the product. Also, the platform "made friends" with each other different technologies and thereby simplified the user infrastructure. Moreover, information security solutions integrated into the system reduce the high risks of information leakage and unauthorized access.

The docking station creates a closed software environment that allows the user to launch only tasks previously allowed to him and excludes the possibility of the user's own modification of the embedded software. Software updates, management, and monitoring of the docking station are centralized. For an information-secure connection to the company's infrastructure, the docking station software has a Russian certified cryptographic information protection tool that ensures the creation of a TLS tunnel. Installation in the docking station of the certified APMDZ "Sobol" allows you to provide a level of cryptographic protection sufficient for most state information systems and personal data information systems.

According to the developer, GM Smart System easily integrates into the existing and often archaic IT landscape due to the compatibility of the system with existing Russian and foreign VDI platforms, including Citrix, Microsoft, VMware, Tionix, Skala-R, with communication solutions Cisco, Avaya, Communigate, Asterisk, Freeswitch, Elastix, Iskratel, SIP SoftSwitch with other compatible systems BP, Eltex and SoftSwitch (RFC 3261), as well as security solutions based on Crypto Pro, Security Code, JaCarta, Rutoken products.

In addition, the use of the GM Smart system can accelerate the transition of government institutions to a service model when the IT infrastructure is delivered as a service service. Developing this approach, the workplace of a civil servant or employee of a state corporation can be transferred to the "cloud" - GEOP (State Unified Cloud Platform) or a private enterprise cloud. In this paradigm, the service orientation of the GM Smart System platform becomes its advantage over traditional solutions, according to Getmobit. The platform stimulates the introduction of video communication services and the transition to virtual telephony services, promotes the spread of domestic mobile OS to provide access to working documentation from any mobile device or for authentication at the corporate workplace, the development of domestic products in the field of virtualization and the consumption of server computing resources according to the service model.

"At the stage of forming the application, we had to resolve a number of issues. Some of them, such as the presence of a site, the ability to download software, pricing policy, did not cause us any special problems. The issue of determining the class of systems to which our development belongs caused difficulties. The presence of many components - the operating system, management server, Voip client, mobile client, the possibility of their operation under different operating systems and in various architectures, made you seriously think. We decided to submit our platform for registration as firmware. The main reason was that a significant part of the software is installed in our production and cannot be changed by the user himself, " noted' Andrey Andryushchenko, technical director of Getmobit '

Launch GM Smart System Mass Production and Sales

In April 2019, GETMOBIT announced the launch of mass production and sales of the GM Smart System hardware and software platform based on the GM-Box docking station. The production capacity is 20 thousand devices per year.

Investments in the project amounted to 380 million rubles, while they all came from the founders of Getmobit, the company told TAdviser. According to the Contour-Focus service, the developer of the solution, Getmobit, is 55% owned by Pyotr Efimov, the general director of Informzaschita. The share in 35% of the authorized capital of the company is with the co-founder of the Security Code Galina Bokova and 10% with Getmobit CEO Maria Rukavishnikova.

The investments were aimed at hardware design, mold development, design of circuitry solutions, production of semi-automatic testing stands, software development and prototyping, IP protection, certification, including European. Part of the funds was spent on the purchase of components and the production of printed circuit boards, - representatives of Getmobit explained to TAdviser.

On the territory of the Dubna SEZ, its own mid-node assembly production was built, designed to produce up to 20 thousand devices annually. The company rented the space, and did everything from repairs to equipment themselves, according to Getmobit. Purchased equipment also allows you to scale production in the future. Investments went to the construction of its own laboratory for functional and load testing.

The traditional workplace of an employee of a corporation or government institution usually includes several devices at once: 1 or 2 computers, a corporate phone, a webcam, stereo speakers, a microphone, chargers for corporate and personal gadgets. Getmobit combined all the tools into a "smart" GM-Box docking station and made a system for managing user equipment and corporate services.

By connecting a monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer to the device, the user gets a full-fledged workplace. All data and applications are in the enterprise cloud. Login is possible after authentication - authentication using a smartphone, smart card, token or password code. The employee has access to the virtual desktop and Unified Communications services. Including IP telephony, audio and video conferencing, corporate address book.

Work scenarios

The solution supports various employee work scenarios - permanent and temporary, assigned and unattached workplaces for a specific person, within the same office or within the corporate network of branches. Personalization of the workplace will occur after two-stage authentication. The employee is always in touch thanks to flexible call forwarding and integration of mobile and corporate telephony.

Modification options

The wide range of GM-Box devices allows customers to configure workplaces for "themselves" - 23 options for modifying the system with the possibility of changing the design to "order." The system provides integration with smartphones with support for Android and iOS mobile platforms.

Corporate Workplace Information Security

According to the manufacturer, an integrated approach to ensuring the information security of corporate workplaces is laid at the level of the GM Smart System architecture. The platform offers several authentication options, security policy management, monitoring and analysis of user behavior, control of the invariability of the device computing module, protection against inconsistent information extraction and simultaneous work in confidential and open communication paths.

The Getmobit product portfolio provides a special version of the device - GM-Box Duo for organizations that use the division of corporate IT infrastructure into two isolated circuits: open and closed. Work with two loops is carried out using one set of "keyboard + mouse" and one or two monitors.

The company also told TAdviser that Getmobit's customers include the largest state corporations, banks, oil and gas companies, and government agencies. Most of them work on 44- and 223-FZ, where purchases are preceded by a stage of comprehensive testing and testing. Based on the test results, a decision is made on industrial implementation on a competitive basis. In 2019, the first competitive purchases involving Getmobit are expected, the company said. Specific examples of organizations testing solutions in Getmobit did not give TAdviser at the time of publication of the material.
