Russia Showcases New Cybersecurity Technologies

At InfoForum 2026 in Moscow, certified cryptographic tools, hardware platforms, Linux ecosystems, and next-generation enterprise firewalls took center stage.

At InfoForum 2026 in Moscow, Russian developers presented practical technologies designed to protect critical infrastructure and replace foreign cybersecurity products. The solutions target the B2G segment and large corporate systems, where regulatory compliance and overall resilience are key requirements.

Elvis-Plus: Auditing and Cryptography

Egor Komarov, head of special projects at Elvis-Plus, said the company is developing two core areas: full-cycle systems integration and in-house cryptographic information protection tools. Its products provide round-the-clock support for government systems and are capable of independently modeling threat scenarios.

According to Komarov, certification was completed in 2024 for Zastava 8, a solution built on a modified open-source operating system with enhanced security features.

“The product implements cryptographic protection functions and enables multi-layered security, while keeping the total cost of ownership low without compromising quality,” Komarov said.

Novye Platformy: Hardware for Security and Telecom

Novye Platformy presented hardware platforms for network solutions in cybersecurity and telecommunications. Business development manager Alexander Demidov said the devices are used as a foundation for next-generation firewalls, crypto gateways, firewalls, and routers.

In 2026, the company entered the upper performance tiers. Its new NP-3005i and NP-6005i product lines are based on fourth- and fifth-generation Intel Xeon processors and are designed for telecom-grade racks.

Aladdin: A Linux Ecosystem

Sergey Gruzdev, founder of Aladdin, spoke about solutions aimed at closing key infrastructure gaps in Linux during migration from Windows. The focus is primarily on public key infrastructure, which is essential for enterprise and government systems.

“Without built-in public key infrastructure, Linux is difficult to use in enterprise environments. We are building a set of solutions that brings it to the level of a mature Windows ecosystem and makes import substitution manageable and secure,” he said.

Ideco NGFW Novum: A New Architecture for Large Networks

Ideco unveiled NGFW Novum, an enterprise-grade solution built on an architecture using DPDK and VPP. According to Alexander Lebedev, head of the product office, the platform delivers high performance without sacrificing security features and integrates easily into existing cybersecurity ecosystems.

The solution is designed for large-scale infrastructures with demanding requirements for scalability, fault tolerance, and centralized network control.

InfoForum remains one of Russia’s key venues for discussing information security issues.
