{{quote 'ECP VeiL virtualization system is capable of importing companies that have left the Russian market and their products. Checking the solution for compatibility ensures that it is easy to implement, operate, and maintain virtual machines. Our software and hardware product will reduce the time and financial costs associated with replacing imported solutions with domestic ones, as well as increase the efficiency of using computing resources, "said Vladislav Ivanov, General Director of the Scale Research Institute. }}

VeiL ecosystem products are used by large, medium-sized businesses and government agencies. Before implementing the system, the Research Institute "Scale" provides customers with the opportunity to test use virtualization tools.

2023: Integration with SerchInform CIB and SerchInform FileAuditor

The domestic vendor INFORMATION SECURITY"" and SearchInform the enterprise Research Institute Scale have completed integration their solutions. DLP "" and SearchInform CIB DCAP system "" SearchInform FileAuditor have passed cloudy the VeiL ECP platform compatibility test. SearchInform announced this on April 20, 2023.

Our specialists are constantly working on the implementation of new capabilities in products. The solutions pass the necessary tests, checks, and fully comply with the requirements for the quality of network systems. It is important for customers that the VeiL ECP can be customized to meet their needs. The platform for control and virtualization in combination with systems for preventing leaks gives a good combination and allows any organization to build a secure data processing environment, - said Vladislav Ivanov, General Director of JSC NII Scale.

The test results showed full compatibility of all server components of SearchInform products with the ECP VeiL platform, as well as agents for Windows and Linux. Integration allows customers to deploy SearchInform CIB and SearchInform FileAuditor security systems in a domestic environment and protect endpoints: analyze data, implement content delineations of access rights, monitor the integrity of important information and its movement, prevent leaks, etc. In addition, data protection technologies between the host PC and the virtualization environment are available for VeiL ECP users. For example, limiting the upload of sensitive files from the remote desktop.

In current realities, securing infrastructure and data comes to the fore. The main task for SearchInform is to ensure comprehensive compatibility of our solutions with domestic platforms. It is especially important to implement not only the ability of SMT to work on a virtualization environment, but also to ensure that the channel itself is protected from leaks, theft and disclosure of data between users or administrators in a virtual infrastructure. It was these tasks that were implemented within the framework of our partnership. As a result, we have a comprehensive solution for building secure environments with sensitive information - said Alexey Parfentiev, Head of Analytics at SearchInform.

Russian virtualization. Review of 15 developers of domestic products

The TAdviser analytical center studied who is on the Russian virtualization market, analyzed the functional and integration capabilities of products, and assessed the experience of development companies. Among the companies and products studied are the Research Institute "Scale" (Veil product). Read more about the research here.

Compatibility with Cyber Backup Data Protection

JSC NII Scale, which is part of the Avtomatika concern of Rostec State Corporation, and Cyberprotect have reached a new level of technological compatibility of products. This was announced by the Cyber ​ ​ Cyberprotect company on April 6, 2022. A series of tests tested the interaction of the enterprise cloud platform ECP VeiL and the Cyber ​ ​ Backup data protection system according to the agentless backup scheme.

Thanks to the current integration scheme, Cyber ​ ​ Backup can provide ECP VeiL with full protection of user data, virtual machine images and processes. Agentless communication technology allows Cyber Backup to back up all elements of the private cloud at the core level of the system and guarantee the rapid recovery of any services or data in the event of a failure.

The joint use of Cyber ​ ​ Backup and ECP VeiL opens up opportunities for seamless import substitution and allows Russian companies to get IT a world-class solution with warranty and support from Russian manufacturers. At the beginning of April 2022, the products of both companies are included in, the Unified Register of Software of the Ministry of Digital Development Russia procedures for inspecting the releases of products with this integration in are being completed, FSTEC the use of the software complex is possible in almost any area.

At the beginning of April 2022, the requests of Russian companies for fault-tolerant, reliable and not inferior in functionality to Western analogues of IT products are greater than ever. And we are pleased with the opportunity to offer customers a comprehensive solution integrated with the systems data protection of our partner Cyberprotect, emphasized Denis Ageev, Director for Development and Production of Virtualization and Video Conferencing Systems at Scale Research Institute.

The implementation of agentless backup of the ECP VeiL virtualization platform required close work of our development team with the development team of the Research Institute "Scale," since the updated functionality required significant improvements in both products. As a result, customers have an end-to-end solution that enables virtual machine backup and online recovery at the enterprise infrastructure level of any size or complexity. told Almaz Valiullin, head of technological partnership at Cyberprotect.
