Russia is a region where new IT and telecommunication technologies have arrived and developed very fast – Russia has, for example, one of the highest rates of new telecommunication channel development worldwide. As a result, the country’s IT infrastructure provides criminals with an effective platform from which to disseminate cyberattacks. As a result, organizations operating in Russia encounter DDoS attacks more often than those doing business in other regions. Therefore, implementing DDoS protection is a must for Russian companies dealing with online customer interfaces. In the short term, they should also aim to implement specific solutions e.g. anti targeted attack, cloud and mobile security.

*These statistics are based on results from an online survey of 5,266 business representatives from companies with 50 and up to 4,999 employees around the world, conducted in 2020 by Kaspersky and B2B International. Statistics based on less than 30 respondents should be used with caution, due to this being a low base. The significant increase in the IT security budget in 2020 may be caused by the change of the survey sample for several verticals and significant fluctuations in budgets in these verticals.
** The methodology for measuring endpoint protection has been changed: now it represents the penetration of endpoint protection in businesses meaning the proportion of corporate endpoints (both physical devices and virtual endpoints) that have endpoint security software installed in the average organization of this vertical and segment.
