FSB creates a unified communications system to protect against cyber attacks and leakage of secrets
Russian intelligence services are preparing for potential cyber attacks from abroad and possible leaks of secrets, as has already happened with US security officials. According to Kommersant’s information, President Vladimir Putin has already approved the FSB’s idea of creating an integrated communications network for defense, security and law enforcement.
According to Kommersant, these proposals were supported by Vladimir Putin on May 31, 2013, and the draft government order is currently being discussed by relevant ministries. In particular, we are talking about the federal target program (FTP) "Creating an integrated communications network for the needs of the country's defense, state security and the rule of law." It is expected that the draft concept of the federal target program will be submitted to the government in September.

“The traditional approaches to building and ensuring information security of communication networks of special consumers, based on the use of resources of communication networks of general use, do not protect communication networks and control systems from cyber interference, from malicious programs during the implementation of informational special operations, attacks by cyber terrorists and other cybercrimes,” states source of "Kommersant" in the government.
Although all power structures have their own private e-mail and cellular communications, security officials use the communication services of various operators (Rostelecom, MegaFon, etc.). At this junction, according to the FSB, there is a threat to national security: "a number of states" create means of dangerous exposure to public networks, disrupt their operation and gain unauthorized access to them.
In addition, now a considerable part of Internet traffic even from the Old Square to the Kremlin actually goes through the territory of the USA, a source close to the Security Council told Kommersant. At the same time, many employees of the Kremlin administration prefer to use foreign mail Internet services, such as gmail.com, adds the source of the newspaper.
Experts estimated the approximate cost of the project
The dedicated special communications network for all power structures should include switches, terrestrial and satellite communication channels, a separate satellite and a single control center, said former Rostelecom CEO Anton Kolpakov: “The construction of such a network will be comparable in scale to the construction of the second Rostelecom,” but with less bandwidth. Such a network will cost tens of billions of dollars. "
Recall that in January 2013, Vladimir Putin instructed the FSB to develop a state system for forecasting and preventing cyber attacks on Russia's information resources. In August, the FSB drafted a bill to ensure the information security of the Russian Federation, and also proposed to strengthen criminal liability for hacker attacks.
Several countries of the world have unified communications networks, but the largest is the American SIPRNet. The SIPRNet network was created by the Pentagon and connects all law enforcement agencies, the State Department and the White House. She defended herself well from outside threats, but since a large number of employees had access to her, there was an opportunity for insider leaks. As happened with analyst Bradley Manning, who leaked 600,000 files from this network to WikiLeaks.
