Complex Information Security System (CISS) of the CEC of Ukraine
Medirent is one of the leaders of the Ukrainian market in the segment of building Complex Information Security Systems (CISS) for the public sector.
Also, our specialists have been automating national elections in Ukraine since 2004:
- elections of the President of Ukraine: year 2004, 2010, 2014, 2019
- elections of people's deputies of Ukraine: year 2006, 2007, 2012, 2014, 2019
- local elections: year 2010, 2015
It is common knowledge that the Ukrainian elections are an important target in the cyber war against our country.
Therefore, information protection in such projects is a priority task.
Ensuring a high level of information security was a mandatory task during each of the election campaigns.
This was solved by the creation of complex information security systems (including their state expertise), deployment of multi-level technical solutions, monitoring tools, cyber security centers (Secure Operation Center), implementation of clear organizational protocols, constant cooperation with regulatory bodies, as well as round-the-clock support of the entire complex of solutions by our specialists.
A typical election cyber security project included the following stages:
- Inspection of operating environments
- Documentation development of pre-project works
- Development of the technical task at CISS and its coordination in the State Service for Special Communication and Information Protection (SSSCIP) of Ukraine
- Development of a technological project at CISS
- Development of operational documentation of CISS
- Conducting preliminary tests of CISS
- Formation of protected software images of web servers of the web display system
- Installation of web mirrors of the web display system in protected network segments of hosting providers
- Verification of the implementation of measures to protect the information of the software and technical complexes of district election commissions and the software and technical complex of the central level
- State examination of CISS in the field of technical information protection
- Cyber security system monitoring and incident response
- Functioning of the technical support center on cyber security issues
We constantly apply effective technical solutions in the field of information protection in our projects. For example, during the elections of people's deputies of Ukraine, tools such as IBM Qradar, Cisco AnyConnect, Cisco Threat Grid, Cisco Firepower, Cisco ISE, etc. were used.
