Sergey Volkov of Cloud.ru Named Top CISO in Russian IT Sector Ranking
Sergey Volkov, Director of the Cyber Protection Center at Cloud.ru, has taken first place in the information security category of the annual Top-1000 Russian Managers ranking.
The project of the Association of Managers has been published in the newspaper Kommersant since 2001. Top managers evaluate their colleagues within their own functional areas, and the results undergo additional verification by expert commissions.
At Cloud.ru, Sergey Volkov holds the position of Director of the Cyber Protection Center and is responsible for the information security direction. His first-place finish in the industry category serves as recognition of his managerial achievements by the professional community.
The Association of Managers also examined the accomplishments of the laureates and highlighted the main trends in Russian management. Artificial intelligence led the list, with AI implementation for business process optimization mentioned in 80% of the reviewed achievements.
The second major trend is client orientation. Companies are increasingly analyzing user experience, collecting feedback, and creating personalized solutions based on measurable indicators.
Operational efficiency ranked third, focusing on cost reduction, automation, and digitalization of processes.

Tools Alone Won't Suffice: Building Systemic Kubernetes Security Across Hundreds of Clusters at Alfa-Bank
Alexander, lead of the K8S and cloud security department at Alfa-Bank, explains how the bank moved from fragmented tools and ad-hoc practices to a comprehensive process-driven security function covering more than 500 Kubernetes clusters. The approach centers on a threat lifecycle model that includes threat modeling, requirements definition, project expertise, auditing, risk assessment, platform operations, and SOC integration. A RACI matrix formalizes responsibilities across security, DevOps, AppSec Business Partners, and IT teams to ensure consistent execution at scale. Four specialized roles—an architect, analyst-engineer, auditor, and platform DevOps engineer—handle the workload that no single individual could manage. The bank emphasizes that commercial scanners and policies deliver value only when embedded in repeatable processes tied to a living threat model and clear accountability.
Luna Decisions Integration with n8n for Real Estate Listing Parsing: Workflow Architecture, Limitations and Open Questions
A detailed technical discussion explores the use of n8n workflows to monitor real estate advertisements by combining scheduled data collection, normalization, and comparison logic with potential AI-driven decision layers. The article examines the boundary between raw parsing and actionable decisions, highlighting how simple code-based event detection can be augmented by structured outputs from models such as OpenAI GPT-6 Luna Decisions. Key components include a Dispatcher node that identifies new listings, price drops, and removals, while storing state in Google Sheets and generating Telegram summaries. Limitations around data completeness, currency conversion, and false positives for sold status are analyzed in depth. The author proposes an experimental branch that routes validated price-change events to Luna Decisions API for typed scoring before any human notification. Overall the piece invites community feedback on whether a dedicated Decisions API provides measurable advantages over rule-based conditions or standard structured LLM outputs.
Bureau 1440 Unveils Satellite Internet Terminals Reaching 700 Mbps for Industrial and Rail Use
Bureau 1440 presented three satellite terminal models at the Digital Solutions forum in Russia. The 1440 ULTRA model supports data speeds up to 700 Mbps and is designed for remote industrial sites and infrastructure, operating both stationary and in motion. The company reduced the terminal's weight by 30 percent while maintaining 600 by 600 mm dimensions and adding IP67 dust and water protection. The 1440 ZEMLYA variant is already undergoing tests on Russian Railways trains, including Lastochka and Sapsan services, and is rated for operation at speeds up to 400 km/h. A compact 1440 MINI concept aims for around 100 Mbps in a 300 by 300 mm portable form factor intended for rescue teams and expeditions. All models are being developed alongside the company's low-orbit satellite constellation, with test connections already active on rail lines and in remote settlements. Sales have not yet begun, and the company will announce availability separately while noting that maximum speeds are not guaranteed in every environment.
GTA V Unofficial Browser Port Runs Locally via WebAssembly Using Leaked Rockstar Sources
Enthusiasts created an unofficial port of GTA V that executes the game directly in the browser through WebAssembly without any cloud streaming. The project compiled the original RAGE engine to wasm64 and built a compatibility layer translating DirectX 11 calls to WebGPU. Game assets were served over HTTP while JavaScript handled input and saves, and AudioWorklet managed audio. The port retained Euphoria physics and Scaleform interfaces but removed Bink video playback. Requirements ranged from 3 to 16 GB of RAM, supporting both story mode and free roam. The site was taken offline shortly after launch, first displaying a thank-you message and later redirecting to adult content. Analysis of the build confirmed debug symbols and developer file paths consistent with leaked Rockstar source code.
