en.Wedoany.com Reported - Issues such as internal data leaks, employee misconduct, and a shortage of information security personnel in Russian enterprises are driving a shift in security services from "buying software" to "buying continuous operations." Russian system integrator ARKS Data Security has partnered with information security vendor SearchInform to launch business protection services based on SearchInform solutions, offering enterprises outsourced information security capabilities.
Delivered to customers via a subscription model, the service focuses on covering internal information security risks within enterprises. ARKS Data Security will utilize SearchInform's data leak prevention system, file storage protection system, and automated employee profiling system to provide services including security system deployment, risk diagnosis, incident response, misconduct investigation, and regular reporting. Customers can obtain relatively comprehensive internal risk monitoring capabilities without significantly expanding their internal security teams.
The business protection service primarily targets the protection needs of personal data, internal documents, commercial materials, technical drawings, process instructions, and other sensitive information. For enterprises in manufacturing, healthcare, construction, trade, and technology services, the leakage of internal materials, employees' unauthorized use of personal email, time spent on non-work software, and abnormal behaviors in procurement and sales processes can all lead to direct economic losses and compliance risks.
ARKS Data Security originally engaged in the development and support of centralized management and IT security monitoring systems. Its entry into outsourced information security services signifies an extension of its business from ensuring security during the IT product development phase to further protecting the internal IT boundaries and employee behavioral risks of client enterprises. The company's team has completed relevant training from SearchInform and has deployed certified analysts and sales personnel to establish foundational capabilities for subsequent client services.
In terms of service execution, ARKS Data Security's information security analysts will continuously monitor the internal conditions of client enterprises, identify potential threats, respond to abnormal events, and assist clients in completing investigations and evidence collection. Each analyst can serve a limited number of clients simultaneously to ensure the quality of event analysis, response, and reporting. The service also includes a free trial phase, allowing clients to first conduct real risk assessments and deploy basic policies before deciding on formal use.
SearchInform's role is to provide underlying security tools and methodologies. Its DLP system is used to monitor and prevent sensitive information leaks, the DCAP system for auditing and protecting file storage, and the employee profiling system for identifying abnormal behaviors and potential internal risks. This combination is suitable for internal threat management, as many data leaks, fraud incidents, and inefficiencies originate not from external attacks but from daily office operations and business processes within enterprises.
Demand for outsourced information security among Russian enterprises is rising. On one hand, small and medium-sized enterprises find it difficult to maintain a full security team long-term; on the other hand, pressures from data leaks, personal information protection, internal fraud, and trade secret protection continue to increase. Through the outsourcing model, enterprises can obtain continuous security monitoring and incident investigation capabilities with a lower one-time investment, thereby embedding security capabilities into daily business operations.
The subsequent effectiveness of this service will depend on client pilot conversions, industry replication capabilities, analyst service quality, and actual risk identification outcomes. If ARKS Data Security can establish a stable outsourced delivery process based on SearchInform's tools, the business protection service is expected to cover more clients in non-technical industries and become a new type of service model for internal information security operations in Russian enterprises.
