The Main Radio Frequency Center (GRFC) of Roskomnadzor has purchased licenses to use the Xello Deception software. The system creates virtual traps for hackers: fake databases, servers and devices that look real. The Russian company Angara Assistance is responsible for the development and the contract value was 13.1 million rubles. The new technology is expected to make it possible to quickly detect threats and protect IT infrastructure.
The Xello Deception platform is considered one of the most advanced platforms in its class. It simulates the operation of real systems, generating traffic, user actions, and even connecting home or industrial devices to the network. According to experts, such solutions not only protect data, but also analyze the behavior of attackers. Representatives of ITProtect explained that the use of network traps immediately highlights the activities of hackers, since ordinary users do not interact with them.
The decision to introduce new technologies is associated with constant attempts to hack GRFC. The ministry reported that up to 10 attacks per day were recorded, and in November last year hackers gained temporary access to the system’s open circuit. Afterwards, critical data remained safe and the incident was used to analyze the attackers’ actions. Experts note that Xello Deception will take up to two weeks to implement and will increase the level of protection even in conditions of limited computing power.
