2023: Integration of ViPNet SIES Core CIPF into CG-ZB-02 Communication Gateway

and NTC "Nartis" "" InfoTeCS reported completion integration CIPF ViPNet SIES Core communication to the CG-ZB-02 gateway. This was reported on March 02, 2023 by InfoTeCS.

To implement Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 890 "On the Procedure for Providing Access to a Minimum Set of Functions of Intelligent Systems for Accounting Electric Energy (Power)," which is mandatory for all market participants, NTC Nartis launched the process of embedding cryptographic information protection tools (CIPF) in the communication gateways they produce in 2022.

Communication gateways play the role of DRC in ICSCS and are used to transfer indicators of metering devices using ZigBee wireless technology to Information and Computing Complexes (ICS). The ViPNet SIES Core software and hardware complex was chosen as the CIPF for the NTC Nartis communication gateways. This is certified a CIPF for integration into ICSCS components at the DRC level, which has the ability to operate outside the controlled area. In addition, the ViPNet SIES product line manufactured by InfoTeCS can be used for all levels of ISUE, which allows you to build the protected system without additional difficulties integration and modifications.

The process of developing a communication gateway CG-ZB-02 with CIPF was completed in mid-2022. In January 2023, based on the results of the assessment of the impact of the gateway on the CIPF, a positive conclusion of the FSB of Russia was obtained. Thus, in the ISUE component market, the CG-ZB-02 communication gateway became the first DRC with CIPF integrated into it. The product is available for order.

Serial production of locks has already begun at the Nartis Plant LLC, opened in 2022 in Cherepovets. A major customer of these products is PJSC InterRAO.

From January 1, 2022, guaranteeing suppliers and network companies were forced to install intelligent metering devices (PSD) without DRC, postponing commissioning work on integrating the PSD into the intelligent accounting system one for the next stages. Taking into account the absence of CDS equipment with CIPF in the market, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to postpone the date of the start of the accrual of penalties sanctions for failure to provide access to the PSD for a year in advance, to January 1, 2024. Nevertheless, in order to avoid penalties, ISU owners must have time to integrate all PSUs established from January 1, 2022 into the ISU before the specified period. The emergence of certified equipment on the market will help guaranteeing suppliers and network companies to cope with the task, and developers to fulfill their obligations in terms of ISS in. new buildings The results of the experimental operation of the communication gateway CG-ZB-02 with ViPNet SIES Core at the JSC "" site Mosenergosbyt were positive. noted Dmitry Zaretsky, General Director of the NTC "Nartis."

For a year already, as the implementation of PP 890 has become mandatory for electric household companies, they must install equipment for citizens that meets the requirements for support. information security However, there is no such equipment on the market, many of its manufacturers have not even decided which CIPF they will use and what requirements for them will be presented as a result. By joining forces with the NTC Nartis, a positive result was achieved in this area. For many years, the company has been developing the direction of products for information protection in industrial systems and succeeding in this. Used in the equipment of the NTC "Nartis" cryptomodule ViPNet SIES Core is a FSB certified Russia cryptographic module for protection information devices, and. ASU M2M IIoT The fruitful cooperation of market experts, who are not afraid to offer the customer solutions in such a complex one, industries allows them to the Russian to power industry develop according to their needs, time added Dmitry Gusev, Deputy General Director of InfoTeCS.
