Servicepipe and Spikatel Launch Joint Cybersecurity Laboratory
Servicepipe and Spikatel have launched a joint cybersecurity laboratory at Servicepipe’s research facility. The team will test both proprietary and third-party technologies for resilience against modern cyber threats, including distributed denial-of-service attacks targeting network and application layers.
Russian technology company Servicepipe has operated in the market since 2015. The firm focuses on maintaining the stability and security of online platforms and develops solutions designed to protect web services and infrastructure from DDoS attacks and bot traffic. Spikatel provides cloud services and cybersecurity solutions, including private cloud environments, backup systems and virtual desktop infrastructure.
Expanding Technical Expertise
The new laboratory will conduct research in network traffic analysis, detection of attack patterns and protection of corporate infrastructure and web resources. By combining the expertise of both companies, the initiative aims to expand capabilities for analyzing cyber threats and developing tools designed to prevent them.
The research platform will also give businesses new opportunities to test their own security technologies in a controlled environment.
More broadly, strengthening domestic cybersecurity expertise can improve the resilience of online services – including government platforms and financial systems – against potential attacks.
A Broad Range of Potential Users
The launch of the laboratory represents an important step toward strengthening Russian technologies for defending against cyberattacks and reinforcing technological independence in information security. The site could evolve into a hub for joint research and solution testing that brings together expertise from leading industry companies.
Key development areas include building new tools to defend against DDoS and bot traffic, testing third-party products from Russian developers – an important factor in the context of import substitution – and expanding cloud-based security services using the Security-as-a-Service model. Potential users of the laboratory’s technologies include telecommunications operators, banks and fintech companies, government digital services, major online platforms and cloud providers.
The project also has export potential. The companies plan to promote Russian cybersecurity technologies in international markets as the number of network attacks continues to rise globally, increasing demand for effective mitigation tools.
Rising Demand for DDoS Protection
Russia’s market for technologies designed to protect digital infrastructure from cyberattacks is expanding rapidly. In May 2025, IT integrator Telekom Birzha invested more than 200 million rubles (about $2.2 million) in Spikatel as part of a strategic partnership. The funding was directed toward expanding the company’s product portfolio, upgrading infrastructure and hiring additional staff.
At the end of 2025, BI.ZONE and Servicepipe announced a partnership to expand the capabilities of the BI.ZONE AntiDDoS platform using Servicepipe technologies including Web DDoS Protection and Network DDoS Protection. The integration is designed to provide companies with a more comprehensive defense against cyberattacks.
In February 2026, Servicepipe released updates to its DosGate system and the FlowCollector network traffic analyzer. The updates improved attack detection accuracy and made traffic analysis more transparent for security teams. Among the improvements is support for additional log formats in the HTTP log analysis module RLOG. The system can now receive logs from NGINX, HAProxy, Apache and F5.
Companies that operate distributed traffic-filtering networks are also increasing purchases of DDoS protection technologies, reflecting strong demand for these tools. For example, DDoS-Guard develops mitigation services based on its own globally distributed server network. Traffic filtering nodes are deployed in major data centers across Europe, the United States, South America and Asia.
Toward an Industry Research Center
The launch of the laboratory reflects growing demand from both government and private sector organizations for systematic research into cyber threats and stronger resilience for digital infrastructure. The project is expected to become a platform for testing and developing new protection technologies for both network-level and application-level services.
Collaboration between Servicepipe and Spikatel may also strengthen Russia’s national cybersecurity expertise and support the development of domestic technologies in an environment shaped by import substitution policies. Over time, the laboratory could help develop testing standards for defensive technologies, contribute to the creation of new security products and evolve into an industry center of expertise.
In the long term, the laboratory could occupy a niche as a research hub focused on DDoS attacks and network threats, provided that it maintains active cooperation with vendors, system integrators and telecom operators. Technologies developed through the initiative are expected to find practical application both in Russia and in international markets.
