Rostelecom-Solar protects online resources of the Magadan Region Government from cyber threats. The main websites of the regional executive authorities and subdomains are connected to the WAF (Web Application Firewall) web application protection service. Since March, it has helped identify more than 1,600 highly critical attacks that were unsuccessful. And the Anti - DDoS service ensures uninterrupted access to the site for users.
or hackers. This trend was india cell phone number list especially evident at the beginning of the year. As a study by Rostelecom-Solar experts showed, in the first quarter, almost 80% of critical cyber incidents were related to web attacks. Hackers hacked websites for the sake of defacement, and by the middle of the year, they began to more actively place malware on resources to infect users' computers. DDoS was used to make socially significant websites inaccessible and create social tension in society.

"We understand that the public sector has always been the focus of attackers, and last year the number of attacks increased significantly. Therefore, it is impossible not to improve the security of the infrastructure. We chose the service model, as it allows us to provide cyber protection by the service provider's experts, reduce the total costs of cyber security and make them planned. Almost a year of cooperation with Rostelecom-Solar has shown the effectiveness of this approach to information security protection, and we plan to expand our cooperation," said Dmitry Mironenko, Minister of Digital Development and Communications of the Magadan Region.

The application-level firewall ( WAF ) protects the web resources of the Government of Magadan Oblast from L7 attacks (DDoS and attacks from the OWASP Top 10 list), identifying threats and blocking them. In particular, the service recorded unsuccessful attempts to execute unauthorized requests to the server (SQL injections), forge a website page and inject malicious code into it (XSS attack), and gain access to local server files (Path Traversal attack). If successful, hackers could gain access to confidential files, manage the web application database, and forge user requests.

Protection against DDoS attacks does not allow attackers to "clog" the communication channel with junk requests and make the site inaccessible to legitimate users. Thanks to the service, the infrastructure of the state organization is able to withstand powerful attacks. In particular, malicious traffic came from IP addresses of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and the USA.

"The demand for online resource protection services has really been growing in the last year, as web vulnerabilities as an entry point into an organization have become more actively used by highly professional attackers. Thanks to interaction with the customer's information security service, we promptly made changes to the firewall settings, creating blocking rules relevant for the web resource of the Government of the Magadan Region. Due to this, it was possible to minimize false positives and guarantee accurate blocking of malicious activities," noted Natalia Kim, Director of Regional Sales Development at B2G Rostelecom-Solar.
