Xello and Kode Bezopasnosti Sign Technological Partnership to Integrate Equipment Emulation into Xello Deception Platform

Xello and Kode Bezopasnosti have concluded a technological partnership agreement aimed at strengthening protection against targeted attacks through enhanced deception capabilities.

Xello, a Russian developer of platforms for data and infrastructure protection, and Kode Bezopasnosti, a Russian developer of software and hardware information security tools, will work together to integrate equipment emulation into the Xello Deception platform.

The partnership will allow Xello Deception, the first domestic Distributed Deception Platform, to emulate hardware from Kode Bezopasnosti. This addition will make the false layer of IT assets more realistic and broaden scenarios for early identification of threats in real-world infrastructures.

Statements from company executives

"We carefully consider customer requests and develop Xello Deception with the specifics of actual infrastructures in mind. Cooperation with Kode Bezopasnosti will expand the platform's functionality and make the false layer even more plausible in organizations that use this vendor's solutions. The partnership also opens new opportunities for expertise exchange. Joint work by our teams will help improve the direction of proactive threat detection," noted Rustam Zakirov, head of the Xello Deception product.

"Deception technologies are becoming an increasingly sought-after tool in the arsenal of information security teams. Against the backdrop of growing targeted attacks, organizations need not only to strengthen the perimeter but also to promptly notice signs of an intruder's presence inside the infrastructure. The partnership with Xello is an opportunity to support the development of a promising direction on the Russian market and contribute to expanding practical scenarios for the use of cyber deception," emphasized Pavel Korostelev, head of strategic marketing at Kode Bezopasnosti.

How Ideco Measures NGFW Performance Using TRex ASTF and RFC 9411 Methodology

Ideco engineers have published a detailed methodology for benchmarking the performance of their Ideco NGFW Novum product on the Ideco EX hardware platform. The team uses TRex in Advanced Stateful mode to generate realistic L4-L7 traffic and follows RFC 9411 guidelines to ensure reproducible results across different test environments. Key metrics include throughput on UDP 1518-byte frames reaching 200 Gbit/s, TCP/HTTP performance varying from 100 Gbit/s down to 62 Gbit/s depending on object size, and EMIX mixed traffic dropping from 92 Gbit/s with firewall only to 15.5 Gbit/s when all inspection engines are enabled. The methodology incorporates binary search for maximum load, a 1% session drop threshold, and 300-second hold times per test point to capture real-world behavior rather than short-term peaks. All tests were performed without TLS decryption, with separate plans for hardware-based Keysight BreakingPoint testing when decryption is required. The full article includes hardware specifications, traffic profiles, loss calculation formulas, and configuration details to allow anyone to reproduce the measurements.

Siemens Industrial AI Drives Green Efficiency Revolution in Infrastructure Cooling, Parks, and Data Centers

The article explores how Siemens is applying industrial AI to transform physical infrastructure operations across buildings, industrial parks, and data centers in China. It details the company's non-invasive AI BOX solution that optimizes cooling systems in hotels and other facilities without replacing existing equipment, achieving around 7% additional energy savings. The Smart ECX platform enables integrated source-grid-load-storage management for zero-carbon factories, delivering 30% cost reductions and over 90% overall energy efficiency. Siemens also supplies critical power distribution hardware such as NXAirS medium-voltage switchgear and SIVACON S8 low-voltage cabinets to support high-reliability AI data center operations. The coverage highlights alignment with China's 15th Five-Year Plan carbon peaking policies and real-world deployments at venues including the Shanghai Yingyi Crowne Plaza Holiday Hotel and Sichuan Chuanrun's Chengdu factory. Overall, Siemens emphasizes combining domain physics models with machine learning to deliver verifiable, replicable industrial value rather than generic AI concepts.

RuBackup 2.9.0 Receives Official Compatibility Certificate with BAUM-Inform Storage Systems

RuBackup version 2.9.0 from the Astra Group has successfully passed compatibility testing with storage systems produced by BAUM-Inform. The verification confirmed that the backup solution can reliably perform data backup and recovery operations using BAUM-Inform hardware. Testing followed a predefined program and methodology, although detailed results and the full list of tested configurations were not disclosed. BAUM-Inform systems are designed for corporate data storage and processing, while RuBackup supports servers, workstations, virtualization environments, mail systems, databases, and domain infrastructure. The certification allows organizations to deploy both products together without additional integration validation. Both companies stated that the verified combination reduces deployment risks and supports the development of fully domestic data protection infrastructures.
