Elena Bocherova, executive director of Cyberprotect, told TAdviser that the first driver of the company's revenue growth in 2023 was the consistent transition of customers to Russian solutions in the backup and data protection segment. In 2022, all Western vendors left the Russian market, while they occupied a large share of this part of the market: according to estimates - more than 80%. In 2022, customers still remained inert in using foreign solutions, despite problems with official technical support, updates and license renewal. And in 2023, many made a fundamental decision to switch to domestic systems.

At the same time, in order to maintain leadership positions, these two years Cyberprotect worked in a close dialogue with customers, moved along the roadmap for the development of its products.

The main task that we solved and continue to solve in terms of the development of the flagship product, the Cyber ​ ​ Backup system is the development of functionality that is in demand by corporate customers with a complex infrastructure, the need to scale the solutions being implemented. The number of such customers in our sales structure is growing. They also paid special attention to technological compatibility with the most popular infrastructure and application software - Russian operating systems, virtualization systems and DBMS, "Elena Bocherova explained to TAdviser.

In 2023, the releases of version 16 and then 16.5 of Cyber ​ ​ Backup were significant, which implemented the maximum set of demanded functions for backing up PostgreSQL and DBMS based on it, support for OpenStack. Also, the system performance was increased, a lot of work was done to integrate our solution for cloud providers "Cyber ​ ​ Backup Cloud" with Yandex.Cloud, a turn was made towards Russian operating systems in the DLP complex "Cyber ​ ​ Protego" and its sharing with "Cyber ​ ​ Files" - a synchronization and file sharing system. In addition, Cyber ​ ​ Backup Personal, a backup for private users, was first introduced.

Elena Bocherova notes that Cyberprotect has also established systematic work on certification of FSTEC, and the implementation of certified versions of Cyber ​ ​ Backup now takes a short time, which was also appreciated by the company's customers.

The explanations for the Cyberprotect financial reporting, published in the FTS database , say that the company's projected revenue in 2024 is 4 billion rubles, and its projected net profit is 1.3 billion rubles. At the same time, it also notes that since the political situation is unstable and is developing rapidly, management at the date of compilation of financial accounting cannot reliably assess the potential impact of these circumstances.

We expect to maintain a leading position in our segment and systematically increase market share. It should be noted that there is still great potential, the level of use of foreign systems remains high. With the successful implementation of the plans, this will maintain the growth rate of the last two years, "says Elena Bocherova about expectations from 2024.

For 2024, the company has planned the release of all key products: a new version of the Cyber ​ ​ Infrastructure hyperconverged solution will be released very soon, it will be supplemented with a "new popular component." Cyberprotect continues to develop the flagship product - Cyber ​ ​ Backup, and the 17th version is expected to be released in May.

In addition, Cyberprotect continues to pay attention to the development of the team, primarily developers and technical support. "We are also waiting for interesting partnerships with Russian developers of both software and hardware," said the executive director of Cyberprotect.
