Infosecurity Russia Program Committee has summed up the results of 2007

On the 21st of November in Moscow, at Sheraton Palace Hotel with the participation of the Infosecurity Programme Committee and of the leading specialists of Russian companies and organizations a round table conference dedicated to the summary of the exhibition conference Infosecurity Russia, which took place on 26-27 of September at Expocentr at Krasnaya Presnya, was held.

Hlamov S. V. head of the Federal Agency for Information Technologies international cooperation department greeted the participants of the round table conference on behalf of the Infosecurity Russia 2007 convenor Matyuhin V. G who is the director of the FAIT.

During the round table conference Osykina L. S, the director of the exhibition, presented a brief summary of the year 2007 in figures: in comparison to the year 2006 the number of the exhibitors increased and amounted 77 companies, the number of the visitors increased as well (approximately 4500 specialists), and the conference (more than 50 enterprises, more than 2300 visitors) was a tremendous success.

Osykina L. S. observed among the main achievements the fact that this year Infosecurity had convoked a more active, professional audience, that the number of the visitors from the regions of Russia, CIS and the far-abroad countries had increased, that the Partnership program had been started, that it had been the first time when a VIP club for the directors of the information security departments of the Russian companies and organizations had been organized, that the section "Innovations of the Branch" had been created. Osykina L. S. said: "Our primary aim is to serve the interests of all the participants of the market and make our event more demanded and necessary for everyone".

Summing up the work of the Programme Committee and business programme Infosecurity Russia 2007, the head of the Programme Committee and the commercial vice-director of the scientific-engineering enterprise INFORMZASCHITA Yemelyannikov M. Y. expressed his gratitude to all members of the Programme Committee for their work and mentioned that "the conference Infosecurity 2007 was a success. One may say without a false modesty that the Infosecurity conference is the biggest forum where the problems of the information security are discussed. There is no such place except this one where such a great number of visitors could be, where such a great number of speeches, and such a diversity of topics could be seen. Besides, this is the very that case when the matters of both governmental regulation, and business, and the technical problems are discussed at the same place".

The specialness of the Infosecurity Russia 2007 conference is implied by the fact that the programme was based on the security systems users' opinions.

Gritsienko A. A., the head of the Information Security Service of the bank Vozrozhdenie said: "I liked Infosecurity Russia 2007 very much. The were 16 employees of my service: The resulting number of the visitors proves that we were not mistaken when choosing topics".

In the opinion of Popova Z. V., director of the Training Center INFORMZASCHITA "The Infosecurity business program is to my point of view is currently the most interesting among those events, which are organized at the market of information security. Why is it interesting? - due to the fact that there is almost no advertisement of the manufacturers and it is very important; due to the high quality content of the events, due to the active and competent audience, due to the high level of excellence of the chairmen of the round-table conferences. After the events the discussion of the brought up topics continued, the specialists were exchanging contact information. That is exceptionally important -to know whom to address, with whom one can communicate."

The following drawbacks of the organization of the exhibition conference were mentioned by the participants of the round table conference: difficulties of exhibition halls navigation, lack of the clear shelf talkers. In the opinion of the participants, the activity of the stand-assistants on Russian exhibitions still falls behind the activity seen at western similar exhibitions.

A. A. Streltsov, the head of the Department of Enhancing Security in the sphere of information and information technology of the Security Council of Russian Federation mentioned that "the exhibition lacks advertisement at the application level, which could show the effects of using this or that product and what it is produced for. One must help the visitors to orientate themselves at the exhibition:". Concerning the program of the conference Streltsov A. A. mentioned that "the humanitarian component should be more distinctly formulated - the problems of business security, security of critical objects should be developed. It's important to use the foreign experience. We still have a lot to learn about!".

Gruzdev S. L., the general director of the Aladdin R. D. mentioned that "the thing which had been done correctly is the practical trend of the production according to the possibility of being applied in practice:Specialists are interested in considering particular problems in practice with the examples of their consideration, in what their colleagues have done, what is worth establishing as a standard, whom can be asked:More specialist taking decisions may take part in the exhibition..".

The recommendations based on the results of the exchange of views between the participants of the round table conference will be formed for the Programme Committee of Infosecurity 2008? Which will be held at the period of 7-9 October 2008 in Moscow at the Central Exhibition Complex Expocentr in the pavilion #3.

Substantial interest in this event shown by banks, telecommunication companies and industrial enterprises testifies to the fact that more and more new problems occur in the quickly developing information security segment, which requires active discussion and joint search of best solutions to minimize emerging risks.

Special emphasis at the meeting was put on assessment and audit methods as well as information security issues in the credit and finance institutions.

Valery Kharlamov (Bank of Russia) mentioned: "The fact that there is no single officially accepted assessment method of whether information security in credit institutions meets standard requirements has a negative impact on assessment precision, reduces confidence in the results of work and leads to contradicting opinions concerning security level in credit institutions. In this connection, in order to improve the existing standard "Assessment method of compliance of information security in banking institutions of the Russian Federation with the standard requirements STO BR IBBS-1.0" is planned to be introduced.

Participants mentioned that information security is an indispensable component of business and therefore should be dealt with as a business process. Moreover, buyers and suppliers of products and services should team up to solve the problems and carry out projects in this sphere. To achieve maximum cooperation team members should learn to speak one language – the language of business.
Mikhail Emeliyannikov who represents NIP "Informzaschita" company and presides Infosecuity Russia Programme Commitee considers that "overwhelming wish of buyers of products and services of this market segment to take part in debates with representatives of government institutions, vendors and integrators allows us to hope that sections, round-table meetings, seminars will contribute as to deeper understanding of arousing issues and the ways to solve them as to developing a better mutual understanding between buyers and suppliers".

Significant interest shown by participants of the Round-table meeting in the issues of building up IS, information security in SMB, integration of IS standards created by Bank of Russia into the credit and finance sphere, interrelation between buyers and suppliers of services, training of interns in the conditions of their serious shortage and other issues raised during the meeting will form the basis for Infosecurity business programme.

The issue of training and certification of IS experts was considered one of the most acute problems. The certificate does not give a complete idea of expert's knowledge as it is. Moreover, no method of information classification has been worked out yet and there are few printed publications, which makes it difficult for the head of the enterprise to decide what information should be protected.

Other interesting topics for the conference were such issues as service in the domain of information security, integrated solutions, business security continuity, problems of ISS audit and IS outsourcing.

New venue – new possibilities of exhibitions
Infosecurity, Storage Expo, LinuxWorld 2006

Next year exhibition-conferences Infosecurity, Storage Expo and LinuxWorld will be held on the new venue – in the Expocentr Fairgrounds on Krasnaya Presnya in the most perspective business center of Moscow. The exhibition time is traditional – September, 4-6.

Change of the venue is caused by the fact that venue can no longer meet the demands of exhibitions: demand for comfortable conference halls and negotiation rooms, need to make the LinuxWorld an independent exhibition in a separate hall to make the event more focused as well as demand for improvement of service, better parking places and the approach road, greater opportunities for exhibitor advertising.

"We are satisfied with the results of Infosecurity, Storage Expo and LinuxWorld 2005 – we have made a considerable leap in development of the projects by increasing the total number of floor space and exhibitors by more than two times, we considerably improved and broadened the conference programme and maintained visitor quality of the last year while increasing the attendance level by two times. As a result, over 80% of exhibitors have already confirmed their participation in the exhibitions next year", said Ludmilla Bogdanova, director of the exhibitions.

"Next year we are planning to make the events even more intensive and interesting by expanding the exposition, inviting interesting speakers and organizing topical discussions of the most acute issues of the industry. According to the results of this year, we can count on increase in the number of visitors next year by 30–40%. We have also decided to make LinuxWorld an independent exhibition, which will be held in a separate hall with separate registration. Thus we will be able to keep out events focused and provide more comfortable conditions for business communication at the exhibitions".

"Unfortunately, it would be quite difficult to develop our projects on the former venue in Gostiny Dvor. That is why we started looking for a possibility to change the exhibition venue. Advantages of Expocentr on Krasnaya Presnya are evident – the venue not only meets all our requirements but also is a well known exhibition complex".

Infosecurity and Storage Expo will occupy halls 4,5,6 in the pavilion 7. The total area of these exhibitions will make 7115 sqm. LinuxWorld will be held in the hall 3 of the pavilion 7 and will occupy approximately 1800 sqm.

Dmitry Retyunsky, the head of data storage systems department of HP in CIS countries said: "Expocentr is without doubt more modern and professional venue for such focused events as Infosecurity. We are confident that moving the exhibitions to Expocentr will positively influence the quality of the exhibition".

Five pros in favour of Expocentr:

  1. equipped conference halls and negotiation rooms
  2. convenient approach roads and parking
  3. more advertising space – more possibilities for promotion
  4. easy to find – convenient parking places parking + subway station "Business center"
  5. LinuxWorld holds separately from Infosecurity and Storage Expo
