“Domestic developers can shoe a flea, but they won’t tell anyone about it”

Incomes of the Russian developers of solutions on cybersecurity in 2022 grew. Among the reasons for the increase in revenue is the need to respond to an unprecedented number of hacker attacks, the replacement of departed foreign vendors and the tightening of regulation in the information security (IS) segment. President of the InfoWatch group of companies, chairman of the board of the Association of Software Developers (ARPP) “Domestic Soft” Natalya Kasperskaya in an interview with “Vedomosti” spoke about which foreign IT solutions cannot be replaced, why it is sometimes harmful for state companies to develop their own software, how to more effectively deal with leaks of personal data and why she is not afraid of the emigration of IT people.
