In addition to investigating incidents, the team can fend off attacks, such as by blocking accounts and infrastructure hosts.

Participation in Standoff Cyberbattle

This year, eKassir will showcase two software solutions at Standoff 15 Cyberbattle, designed to streamline and enhance payment processing for financial institutions (banks, marketplaces, payment providers, etc.).

eKassir Payments Hub
A software solution for unified payment acceptance across multiple customer service channels, including ATMs, bank branch tellers, agent networks, internet banking, mobile apps, and more. The platform enables centralized routing, processing, and monitoring of payment transactions, ensuring high fault tolerance and scalability.

eKassir Fast Payments System Adapter
An out-of-the-box solution for banks to integrate with all functionalities of the national Fast Payments System (FPS). It supports all existing payment scenarios, including refunds, dispute resolution, and cross-border transfers.

Both products incorporate Access Management and API Gateway systems to ensure security, handling remote authentication of external requests and secure API-based data routing. Access is granted via secure access tokens.

As a partner, the NTI Center at MPEI participated in Standoff 15 Cyberbattle by providing the SHC DTPS and implementing a real-time model simulating the operation of a national power system. The model includes power plants (hydroelectric, thermal, and wind), main power grids, as well as power supply networks for a metallurgical plant and a city. The SHC DTPS also incorporates virtual PLCs that simulate the operation of protection and emergency automation systems within the power system model.

A distinctive feature of the SHC DTPS implementation for Standoff was the inclusion of functions for automatic calculation of cyberattack consequences, expressed both in terms of lost generation and load capacity (in megawatts) and in monetary terms. The damage assessment considers the severity of the accident, recovery time, and the exponential relationship between economic damage and power supply interruption duration.

The National Technology Initiative (NTI) Competence Center "Electric Power Transmission Technologies and Distributed Intelligent Energy Systems" at the National Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute" (NTI Center at MPEI) develops solutions for intelligent power system protection and automation, including microgrids with renewable energy sources and energy storage systems.

The key technologies developed by the NTI Center at MPEI are:

1. Intelligent power system protection and automation platform based on open architecture with support for virtual PLCs, featuring self-configuration, self-organization, and self-healing capabilities.
2. Software-hardware complex "Digital Twin of Power Systems" (SHC DTPS) enables real-time modeling of normal and emergency processes in power systems. The SHC DTPS is used at the power system design stage, during testing of digital protection and automation systems, as well as in operation for forecasting, calculating optimal control actions, maintenance planning, and assessing potential consequences of cyberattacks.

A critical component powering the realistic infrastructure of Standoff Cyberbattle is the company’s flagship solution—DS Integrity packet brokers. This equipment ensures proper orchestration of IT and cybersecurity infrastructure for the virtual nation.

Just as in Standoff Cyberbattle, DS Integrity optimizes traffic for analytical systems in real-world infrastructures, enabling scalable cybersecurity solutions across sectors—banking, energy, government, industrial, and transportation. Since 2021, the joint DS Integrity & PT Network Attack Discovery solution has been successfully safeguarding Russia’s critical infrastructure.

"Digital Solutions" is a Russian developer and manufacturer of network equipment for information security. For over 20 years, the company has maintained full-cycle production based on in-house R&D—from hardware platforms to network traffic processing technologies. All equipment produced by "Digital Solutions" is listed in the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade registry and meets trusted hardware/software complex (HSC) criteria.
