By expanding the list of subjects, the government aims to enhance the resilience and reliability of systems that are vital for the administration and management of real estate transactions.
The law comes at a time when the importance of securing critical information infrastructure is increasingly recognized globally. Governments around the world are taking measures to safeguard their critical systems from cyber threats and potential disruptions.
The expansion of the list of subjects of critical information infrastructure in Russia demonstrates the country’s commitment to strengthening its cybersecurity capabilities and protecting vital sectors from potential attacks.
Furthermore, this move highlights the increased recognition of the role played by information systems, networks, and management systems in the field of state registration of real estate. These systems are essential for the functioning and reliability of the real estate market.
The law is expected to have a significant impact on the overall security of critical information infrastructure in Russia and contribute to the country’s ongoing efforts to improve its cybersecurity landscape.
