The State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection (SSSCIP) has published a major update of its list of banned software and communication equipment. After a systematic review of NSDC decisions and presidential decrees, the list of sanctioned products grew from 416 to 880 items.
880 items: what banned software and equipment the list includes
The key feature of the update is its comprehensive approach. The sanctions cover not only familiar office software but also critical network equipment and industrial systems.
- Internet services and platforms: Yandex LLC solutions.
- Operating systems and services: the Astra product line (RusBITech-Astra LLC), Kontur products (SKB Kontur JSC) and RED software (Red Soft JSC).
- Network infrastructure: ViPNet solutions from InfoTeCS JSC, including routers, switches, security gateways and firewalls.
- Engineering and industrial software: the KOMPAS-3D design systems and LOTSMAN, VERTIKAL, POLINOM and their modules (developer ASCON LLC).
Adding equipment and industrial software to the list closes hidden channels of influence on Ukraine’s information infrastructure. Also, SSSCIP has published the full list on its official website.
Why it concerns many organizations
The expansion to 880 items means that hundreds of organizations now face fines and compromise. Moreover, many of them do not even know that Russian equipment or software runs deep inside their networks. Earlier, the popular accounting systems 1C, BAS and Parus were already banned.
