As SberKorus CEO Vitaly Tarasov (pictured) noted when opening the Cybersecurity Sphere conference, the company has invested 10 times more in information security over the past two years than in 2010-2021, and as a result, this expense item reached 5% of SberKorus' total turnover. In his opinion, this was facilitated by a whole range of factors, primarily compliance with Sber's strict standards.

"The company's expenses venezuela whatsapp resource on information security in 2024 are twice as much as last year's budget. We see a practical need for such investments: we need to ensure the smooth functioning of the company's business and protect it from attacks of any type, scale and intensity. To do this, we are constantly improving SberKorus' self-defense mechanisms using technology, conducting employee training and expanding the team. SberKorus provides full coverage of the infrastructure using WAF, anti-virus protection and EDR solutions. Internal and external independent testing for penetration into the network and critical applications is also regularly carried out, and employees undergo regular training. I would also like to note that we are a partner company of Sber and increased information security requirements apply to us. Therefore, we assess our standards for building business processes as high relative to the EDI market."

Head of the Technological Expertise Department at Softline Denis Chigin noted that the motivation of EDI operators in terms of increasing their information security costs is purely practical: "Market participants have already become the target of coordinated attacks by politically motivated attackers, whose goal was to disrupt the normal functioning of processes tied to EDI, such as the shipment of perishable products. The convenience of EDI compared to classic paper document flow has prompted many companies to switch to this format, so disruption of services entails consequences not only for the operators themselves, but also for users, perhaps even to a greater extent. Therefore, such a step seems quite logical against the background of the existing threat landscape."

"We can see a trend towards mandatory EDI: labeling, traceability, and its implementation in the transportation of alcohol is also being discussed. Accounting and transport documents are drawn up to record the fact of economic activity; in the future, they will be converted to electronic form. This will complicate processes within companies and lead to duplication of information in government systems. The task can be delegated to EDI operators: they already have a large user coverage and provide high-level service, flexibly adjust integration solutions," noted Kontur.Diadoc expert Roman Akimov at the All-Russian forum "EDO - Practice 2024".

Viktor Abramov, Head of the Internal Automation and Transformation Development Group of the Customer Service Department of Baltika Brewing Company LLC, during the discussion "Cybersecurity - the Science of the Future. How to Protect Yourself from Tomorrow's Threats?" called ensuring the cybersecurity of EDI operators a matter of national security, since successful attacks in the context of total digitalization of accounting and transport document flow will lead to economic collapse. He also recalled that from September 1, 2024, officials will sign all electronic copies of documents with a personal electronic signature, the abuse of which, if no protective measures are taken, can become one of the critical incidents along with leaks of personal data or long-term failures in the IT infrastructure. As a result, as Viktor Abramov summarized, a high level of cybersecurity is becoming a decisive competitive advantage for EDI operators in the fight for clients.
