By the end of 2022, three new support centers of the National Cyber ​​Range will be opened in Russia as part of the Information Security project of the Digital Economy national program. The centers are used to test software products under development and train cybersecurity specialists.

One of the centers was opened on March 3 in Samara at the Povolzhskiy State University of Telecommunications and Informatics. Two more centers will be opened this year in St. Petersburg and the Orenburg region at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Orenburg State University. At the instruction of the Ministry of Digital Development, Rostelecom is creating the National Cyber ​​Range on the basis of its subsidiary Rostelecom-Solar.

Rostelecom-Solar noted that the domestic information security market lacks approximately 20 thousand specialists. At the same time, the first university graduates who studied at the National Cyber Range, together with employees of the Rostelecom’s Cyber ​​Attack Counteraction Center, are already counteracting cyber threats.
