VK Launches Domestic SIEM, ZTA, DSPM, and Code Security Tools to Boost Cyber Resilience
At VK Cloud Conf 2025, VK Tech unveiled four new cloud-based cybersecurity services designed to automate secure development and protect critical data infrastructure across its ecosystem.
Who Needs These Tools—and Why?
The new services—Security Gate (for code review automation), a SIEM system, Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)—are already integrated into VK Cloud and used internally to secure more than 100 VK products, 40,000 repositories, and over 1 petabyte of data.
These solutions target secure development workflows, threat detection, access control, and sensitive data protection. With support for DevSecOps, the tools help identify vulnerabilities early in the development process without slowing down deployment cycles. The scale is massive: millions of lines of code scanned, tens of thousands of automated reviews, and millions of logged security events.
Organizations concerned with code-level risks—especially those handling personal or financial data—can use VK's stack to reduce attack surfaces, localize critical tools, and limit reliance on foreign cybersecurity vendors. The company positions its tools as viable domestic alternatives, while international markets remain cautiously observant.
Big Plans for Large Infrastructures
VK’s cybersecurity offerings are aimed at high-load, high-volume environments. If performance and certification benchmarks are met, the tools could be exported to CIS countries and emerging markets.
Domestically, they could appeal to banks, government entities, and operators of critical infrastructure. The native integration with VK Cloud offers an end-to-end deployment advantage—consolidating monitoring, control, and automation under one platform.
VK’s internal expertise in Highload, Big Data, and AI underpins these services, providing a technological foundation for automating DevSecOps, threat detection, and access management in hybrid and cloud-native architectures.
Looking Back to Look Ahead
VK has spent more than a decade building its cloud ecosystem. It launched Mail.ru for Business in 2013, which evolved into VK WorkMail with anti-phishing, SSL, and 2FA protections. From 2018 to 2024, VK Cloud rolled out PaaS tools, Cloud Kafka, and its Private Cloud infrastructure.
In 2025, VK Tech introduced Private Cloud Light—a simplified, fully import-independent deployment option for private infrastructure environments. The platform combines virtualization and IaaS into a self-contained package.
SIEM, ZTA, and DSPM solutions have long been available globally—offered by companies like Splunk, IBM QRadar, and providers tracking DSPM through Forrester research. VK’s efforts to replace them locally align with national digital sovereignty goals. In some ways, the strategy resembles China’s WeChat ecosystem, where built-in cybersecurity is part of the platform core.
Takeaways and Strategic Forecast
VK is rapidly evolving into a full-spectrum IT service provider with a growing focus on cybersecurity. The company’s success depends on whether businesses and government agencies trust the quality, scalability, and compliance of its solutions.
With data breaches posing existential risks to brand trust and financial stability, VK’s services are built to counter advanced threats without imposing operational overhead. Demand is expected to rise in the domestic public sector and banking industry.
VK may eventually export its tools to IT-aligned CIS nations. In the long term, competition with global vendors will depend on achieving international certification and meeting enterprise-grade performance requirements. VK plans to expand its ecosystem to include large language models (LLMs), its Max messenger platform, and new cloud-native products, with security tools embedded by design.
