In Lithuania, the software produced in Russia will be replaced

Lithuanian specialists in the field of cybernetic security are looking for a replacement for Russian software, which is used in state departments and strategic enterprises. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Defense of Lithuania Edwinas Karza, Interfax reports citing BNS.

In the programs, suspicious gaps were found, allowing to hack the systems from the outside, Kyazra noted. "It is noticed that the possibilities for connecting were left, and when the connection takes place, it remains to guess what they are doing, how they control," said the deputy minister. According to him, the programs have not yet been replaced, but access to the systems is limited.

On Thursday, deputies of the Sejm Laurinas Kaschunas, Zhigimantas Paviwanis and Audrosenyus Plavubalis asked the Prime Minister of Lithuania to evaluate the scale of the use of Russian software and information systems in state departments and institutions, as well as at enterprises that are of strategic importance for national security. This was reported by BaltNews.

"Some state institutions are still using Russian software. For example, the police department has been using the financial reporting module created on the basis of the 1C platform since 2006. At the same time in Ukraine, this software equipment was prohibited after its connection with Russian intelligence was identified," Kaschyunas noted.

In addition, the state enterprise "Lithuanian Railways" has been using the Klub-U Izhevsk Radio Plant system for the fifth year. It allows you to track the movement of all locomotives used in Lithuania.

In Europe, they are seriously preoccupied with possible cyber attacks from Russia. On June 19, the European Union Council approved the development of joint measures in response to this threat. "Cyberdropulomatia instruments" will include sanctions measures, emphasized in the EU countries adopted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"The EU reaction to cyber attacks will include all measures provided for in the framework of the general foreign policy and security policy of the European Union, including, if necessary, and restrictive measures," the document says. “It will correspond to the scope, duration, intensity, technical complexity and the results of cyber attacks.”
