RuStore integration into the ROSA ecosystem helps meet the demand for Russian solutions and guarantees data protection.

The integration of RuStore into our ecosystem is a significant step in creating a secure digital space for Russian users. We are confident that this cooperation will strengthen user confidence in our solutions, - commented Oleg Karpitsky, CEO of STC IT ROSA.

Compatibility with InfoWatch Traffic Monitor

Companies InfoWatch STC IT ROSA have tested the compatibility of solutions: - DLP systems InfoWatch Traffic Monitor OS and ROSA Mobile. As part of the partnership, the companies tested the ability to monitor corporate mail on operating R-FON smartphone under the ROSA Mobile OS. This was announced by STC IT ROSA on August 19, 2024.

The use of corporate mail by employees on a mobile phone entails additional risks of information leakage: an employee can save a confidential letter or attachment on a smartphone and thereby take it out of control. In this case, data transfer does not occur, which means that it is impossible to track the leak using the classic DLP system without installing the agent on your personal gadget. To solve this problem, InfoWatch Traffic Monitor uses a module to monitor data synchronization protocols between mail servers and mobile clients. This approach prevents data leakage even if the data is not transmitted directly from one user to another.

The use of the InfoWatch Traffic Monitor allows users to safely and efficiently use R-BACKGROUND running on ROSA Mobile and minimize the risks of information leakage. We are confident that our cooperation with InfoWatch will open up opportunities to improve the security of corporate information, said Oleg Karpitsky, General Director of IT ROSA Research and Development Center.

Mobile devices are a full-fledged working tool, so corporate data protection should be built taking into account their use. Thanks to the integration of InfoWatch Traffic Monitor and ROSA Mobile, we have implemented monitoring of this communication channel and are ready to offer customers who use both solutions a new level of protection of confidential information, "added Andrey Arefiev, director of innovative projects at InfoWatch Group.
