Roskomnadzor plans to create a national DDoS protection system. The idea arose after Russian companies were unable to cope with massive hacker attacks after the start of the special operation.
A national DDoS protection system may appear in the fall of 2022. By this time, the department intends to update the equipment for deep traffic filtering (Deep Packet Inspection, DPI), which is used to enforce the law on the sovereign Internet. Now Roskomnadzor is discussing the details of the project with the equipment supplier.
The Sovereign Internet Law came into force on November 1, 2019. He assumes that Russia has an infrastructure that ensures the uninterrupted operation of the Russian segment of the Internet even in the event of a country disconnection from the global network and cyber attacks.
In the first days of the aggravation of the situation in Ukraine, the Russian IT infrastructure was subjected to massive cyber attacks, as a result of which the websites of various government departments were temporarily out of order. Therefore, the authorities are now working on various scenarios for protecting the Russian segment of the Internet from external threats at the national level.
The equipment used to enforce the Sovereign Internet Act already includes DDoS protection functionality. However, the Main Radio Frequency Center (GRCHTS, a subordinate agency of Roskomnadzor) has so far developed for it only a few signatures (sample types of attacks) that the equipment should respond to, so it is not possible to provide high-quality protection.
