2024: Former Eset distributor wants to include an antivirus based on the Indian kernel in the register of Russian software
On January 31, 2024, Pro32 announced its desire to include its antivirus product based on the core of the Indian company K7 Computing in the register of domestic software. In particular, the developers said that in addition to Windows support, their Pro32 antivirus already supports domestic operating systems Astra Linux and Red OS, and ALT Linux is also supported .
The Indian company has developed an antivirus kernel for Linux by special order from Pro32. The original K7 Antivirus does not support Linux.
The basis of the Pro32 team is made up of specialists from the Russian division of Eset, which left Russia. In 2022, they were able to switch from Eset sales to Indian antivirus for 173 days, and offer it to Russian users on August 26, 2022. Moreover, as part of Pro32, it was even possible to preserve an antivirus laboratory, which will further release signatures for malware detected in Russia for a new kernel, which, as expected in the company, should greatly improve the level of threat detection for Russian enterprises.
In addition, it was possible to preserve the partner network built to distribute Eset products - these are about 3 thousand companies in 11 CIS countries that can sell Pro32 products.
We already have a partner network now - it has not disappeared anywhere since Eset, "Igor Mandik, CEO of Pro32, told TAdviser. - I would call two numbers: companies that, in principle, can sell our solution. We are now in M Video, DNS, Ozon, Yandex Market and others. These companies include all key federal networks, all mobile operators and the largest broadband access providers. In general, there are 3 thousand of them - as well as with Eset. Another figure is companies with which we are now actively starting to cooperate and develop sales. There are a little less than a hundred of them. |
The first sales for corporate clients at Pro32 have already begun. Initially, its strategy was aimed at developing comprehensive security solutions for SMB and private users, but over time the company expects to enter the segment of larger business and government organizations.
However, in order to offer its products to state customers, it must be in the register of domestic software, and the company will try to enter there with its product. There are prerequisites for this. Since Pro32 has its own antivirus laboratory, it can independently serve Russian customers. In addition, the Pro32 developers have completely redesigned the antivirus graphical interface, making it more modern. In fact, only the antivirus kernel remains from the Indian product, which, according to Ruslan Suleimanov, is fast and effective.
The most difficult requirement for the "fatherland" is the clause on deductions to foreign companies in the amount of no more than 30%. To solve this problem, the company began to expand its product portfolio with Russian developments. There are now six products in the Pro32 arsenal as of early 2024. In addition to antivirus, Pro32 has exclusive distribution rights for the Pro32 Connect remote access tool and CleverControl DLP solutions, which are fully controlled by Pro32.
In addition, the company has contracts to distribute the itHelper VPN solution, Multifactor authentication and access control system and network security from QRator Labs.
Now you can get a package of these products at a discount along with the antivirus, but Pro32 expects to combine these tools into a small or home office (SOHO) solution with cloud management. In this case, the share of deductions to a foreign antivirus kernel developer will be greatly reduced, which will help it become "more domestic."
