Overview on cyber security in Russia

Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2018 — ENISA


Since the end of Soviet Union era, Russia used to be considered as a developing country in any sense. In terms of cyber security and technology overall this country made a huge step during last decade. IT specialists get as twice as more money in comparison to average salary within similar fields while in EU there is no such tendency (expect Estonia and few other countries). Financial support has helped security sector to develop. Currently Russia takes top places in security reliability charts.

Technology

E-Government

While the implementation isn't perfect, the system saves a lot of time and gives such services as digital signature, application to some social service, updating citizens' data etc.

IT Industry:

The IT industry is a strategic segment of the Russian economy, as its growth rate exceeds the GDP dynamics, and this trend is likely to continue in the future. 
There are such big companies as Kaspersky, Yandex and mail.ru group. All of them hire most qualified employees and when it comes to product, security and privacy are the highest priorities.

Trainings

There is no such law that requires people of companies to make their employees passing security trainings. However, if employer is willing to have his systems safe, there are numerous organizations which provide any kind of trainings. Above listed company Kaspersky offers huge variety of such.

Policy

Since last 8 years were quite hot for the government. They decided to focus on locally developed products and In June 2015 after sanctions due to occupation of Crimea the Russian parliament passed a law to establish a preference system for software developed in Russia. 

Conclusion:

No matter how much effort is putting into security development. The country still has economic and political difficulties which make it impossible to operate efficiently in IT field. Unfortunately people do care about dark news such as memes about government projects' web pages with close to 0 level of protection. As long as government prefer leaving things as they are this country won't meet huge success and global approval. It still feels good that there are a big list of private companies that keep Russia on the same level as most technologically and securely developed countries.

Bad Ergonomics vs. Good Ergonomics

Looking at contrast between bad and good design is useful for designers. Following common practices is not always a cure to avoid unfriendly interface. Let’s look on the example of trendy practice and how to prevent inappropriate usage. Bad Example of Animation While interactive style is an ultimate tool for making web page more appealing it’s also can become noticeable and annoying. When it comes to creating nice pop up window, first priority should be its functionality. Greatest example of over stepping the bounds is Vladyslav Tyzun’s animation concept for a PayPal email receipt, published on Dribbble. It looks tidy and minimalistic. As for a designer it just feels good to enjoy the animation. This solution is, however, superfluous. To get all transaction information user needs to wait 3.5 seconds. Alternative solution could be some simple drop-down receipt. Good Example of Animation Animated solution can be great-looking with elaborate approach Let’s consider Stripe ...

Rule Utilitarianism. Big data The Utilitarianism theory defines what is write and what is wrong by assessing outcomes. No matter what bad consequences take place, the most ethical choice is always the one that has the greatest good. Big data falls under this theory just fine. While it's hard to give any precise guidelines, the example can be considered in the abstract. On the one hand it brings us economy boost by providing more specific information, on another hand it affects on the privacy of consumers. Examples of The Good Big data cuts business costs Help government to track citizens and prevent unwanted events Using big data improves company's pricing policy Allow competition with bigger companies Suggests to user more interest-related content  Examples of The Bad Ruins people's privacy Add an advantage to those who have been shown as a more trustable person by doing nothing personal online Uses tons of computational resources and not necessarily...
