New security standard for smart devices comes into force in Russia
A new state standard (GOST) has come into effect in Russia, establishing strict cybersecurity rules for smart gadgets. This document is aimed at protecting users' personal data and increasing the reliability of modern devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and smart home systems.
A key requirement of the new standard concerns artificial intelligence. According to the new rules, manufacturers are required to localize servers that support AI operations directly within the territory of the Russian Federation. This means that the processing of data coming from devices must take place within the country.
Experts note that such measures will help to better control information security and protect users from potential data leaks. Server localization will also allow government agencies to more effectively monitor compliance with digital space protection rules.
The new GOST is an important step in the development of the Russian technology market. It is expected that gadget manufacturers will have to adapt their systems to these requirements in order to continue the official sale of equipment in Russia. In the near future, companies will begin bringing their technical solutions into compliance with the adopted standards.
