The end of the 11th All-Russian Conference IT & Security Forum

    ITSF-2017

    On May 26, the work of the 11th All-Russian Conference “IT & Security Forum” was completed in Kazan. The conference was held at the Korston Hotel. The conference brought together more than 900 participants from 80 cities of Russia. 60 reports were delivered at the conference, a large number of thematic stands were presented in the demo zone.


    The format of the conference has already become familiar. Zero day - May 24 - the day of arrival of the guests, followed by two days of fruitful work of the conference.


    For participants who were able to come on May 24, there was an opportunity to register and take part in two events to choose from “A sightseeing tour of the city of Kazan” or participate in a master class from the Academy of Information Systems company on the topic “Investigation of information security incidents”. Despite the fact that the announced master class nevertheless had the format of a regular presentation, it was truly useful and relevant for its participants. Thanks not only to AIS expert Mikhail Zyuzin , the speaker of the event, but also to experienced participants in the session, a constructive discussion arose during its work, which made it possible to analyze the various nuances of the correct procedure for preparing a legally correct evidence base in the investigation of cybercrimes.


    The following issues were considered as part of the master class:

    • Examples and procedures for responding to IS incidents;
    • The procedure for the investigation of computer crimes;
    • Interaction with law enforcement agencies;
    • Legally correct collection of evidence.

    Zero day ended with a welcome dinner from the organizers of the conference at the PETZOLD craft brewery.



    And finally, on May 25, the grand opening of the conference took place in the huge Ballroom of the Korston Hotel.




    At the opening of the conference, Rustam Nigmatullin , First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan, Minister of Informatization and Communications of the Republic of Tatarstan Roman Shaykhutdinov , Artem Asanov , Head of Operation and Technological Block of AK BARS Bank, Efim Rosenberg , First Deputy General Director, delivered welcoming remarks to the guests. NIIAS OJSC, Chief Designer for Traffic Safety at Russian Railways, Boris Scherbakov , Vice President and CEO of Dell EMC in Russia, and Victor Dyachkov , General Director of JSC ICL - KPO VS ( link ).


    One of the theses of the speeches made, which was supported in many other reports, sounded like a phrase from a well-known story: “In IT, you need not just to go forward, but to run as fast as you can - and this is just not to be the last. And to get ahead, you need to run even faster. ”



    The following reports were also delivered at the plenary section:

    • Kaspersky Lab: “Cyberthreats of the future. Is there a solution? ”

    • FSTEC of Russia: “Directions for improving the regulatory legal and methodological framework for the technical protection of information”
    • Check Point: The Future of Cybersecurity
    • HPE: “Next Generation IT Infrastructure: Prerequisites, Features and Implementation Methods”



    At the same time as the plenary section on the ground floor of the hotel in the Hall and in the Pushkin Hall on an area of ​​more than 660 square meters, the conference demo zones worked at which the solutions of the participating companies in the field of IT & Security were presented.


    In the demo zones, one could see the latest hardware and software systems from HPE, Dell EMC, CheckPoint, Cisco, IBM, NetApp, Huawei, Positive Technologies, S-Terra, VMWare, ForcePoint, Infowatch, Quest Software, Solar Security, GasInformservice, Laboratory Kaspersky, IXIA, AK BARS Bank, Entersys, LG, Simple Waters , as well as a large number of own developments of the organizing company ICL .


    All the equipment presented could be "touched" and additional expert clarifications on the presented systems could be obtained from experts.



    The GazInformService company ’s extraordinary solution for the organization of its demo zone certainly attracted a large number of people to it: on the first day of the conference, GIS offered to assemble a puzzle by receiving its elements from girls dressed in the Cosplay genre.



    On the second day, GIS launched InstaPrinter at its booth, thus organizing a promotion for the product “Efros Config Inspector” ( https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/configinspector/ )

    The innovation at the conference was the point “TATAR GOODS” for cashing out the points earned in the very successful official mobile application ITSF-2017 . Points were earned by participants in exchange for questionnaires and comments on reports and stands in the demo zone. Subsequently, these points could be exchanged for exclusive gifts from the organizers of the conference.
