Cyber Security Procurement Intelligence: Trends and Outlook

The cyber security category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2023 to 2030. With a 34.9% share in 2022, North America dominated this category. Numerous prominent data breach incidents have recently made headlines between 2021 and 2022. Threats to company security exposed potentially millions of Americans' sensitive information, including usernames, passwords, and credit card data at organizations such as Yahoo!, Uber, and Target. It is imperative that even the world's largest companies remain vigilant about security vulnerabilities since hackers and cybercriminals develop new ways to access sensitive systems. Hence, there is an increased demand for cyber security experts and information security professionals worldwide. This is in turn driving the category growth significantly.

The fact that most companies simply cannot risk a breach of information is one of the primary reasons the cyber security industry is expanding. According to the IBM data breach report in 2023, the average global cost of a data breach in 2023 amounted to USD 4.45 million. This is an increase of 15% from the previous three years. A sum that can force many companies to shut down. According to IBM estimates in the same report, in reaction to a breach, 51% of firms intend to boost security spending on technologies for threat detection and response, personnel training, and incident response (IR) preparation and monitoring. Compared to organizations that do not utilize security artificial intelligence and automation substantially, organizations that do use it on a regular basis save an average of USD 1.76 million. Only 28% of organizations adopted notable use of security AI, which minimized costs and expedited containment in 2023. 

The top trends in the cyber security industry include advancements in cloud security, Ransomware as a Service (RaaS), IoT, and cyber threat intelligence solutions. IBM 2023 report shows that data stored in the cloud was involved in 82% of breaches. According to Statista’s 2023 report, more than 72% of organizations fall prey to ransom attacks. IBM 2022 estimates show that it takes about 49 days to detect a ransomware threat. The importance of cloud security services is growing as a result of remote employment, outsourcing, and expanding mobility trends. Also, a steady rise in RaaS platforms will be observed over the coming years. The most noteworthy example was when the governments of Australia and Costa Rica were victims of one of the largest ransomware attacks in 2022.

The category is highly fragmented and disorganized. The government and electoral security measures are complicated by the category’s fragmentation globally. The most notable instance was the U.S. presidential election in 2020. Due to the increasing amount of information breaches and threats, companies are trying to find solutions that safeguard data as it travels across clouds, databases, applications, and services while also enabling visibility across hybrid environments. On the other hand, in the European region, the fragmentation in the cyber security category is a major obstacle hindering the EU's ability to scale up. This in turn forces cyber security companies to seek alternative markets to expand. Although the EU recognizes the significance of cyber security legislation, it still falls behind other competitors worldwide in terms of establishing a cohesive ecosystem and offering avenues for investment in this category. All these factors reduce the bargaining power of the suppliers.

The primary costs associated with this category are the cost of salaries for cyber security experts, software/application development, hardware, network and servers, maintenance and upgrades, facilities, deployment type (cloud, on-premises, or offshore), and others. Other costs can include training and development, utilities, tax, random testing, checks, etc. Security accounts for 11 - 13% of companies' IT budgets. The average cost of cyber security amounts to USD 2,000 (approx.) per full-time employee or roughly 0.5% of the total revenue generated annually. A few factors that affect the total cost of cyber security include industry type, number of employees, hardware or software technology type used, compliance and mandates, pre-existing security measures, firewalls, audits, etc. The cost of firewalls can range between USD 400 – 6,000. Leading cost-saving strategies in this category include using a DevSecOps methodology and performing penetration and application testing.

The Global Insurance Market Index 2023 report estimate shows that the prices of cyber insurance globally slowed in Q1 2023 in the U.S., with average price increasing by just 11% as opposed to 28% rises during Q4 2022. Adjustments in the two largest international markets, the U.S. and the U.K., were the driving force behind the moderation. Greater competition, better cyber security measures, and a decrease in recorded ransomware attacks in 2022 were among the main causes of the mild change.

The most common types of pricing models adopted include a licensing-based model, a cloud-only SaaS model, or all-inclusive models. With all-inclusive models, companies can take advantage of the predictive nature of SaaS, while deploying the software in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Cyber security operations are outsourced (partial or hybrid outsourcing) by many companies to achieve better cost savings and higher effectiveness. An important development is the growing utilization of managed security service providers (MSSPs). In hybrid models, strategic responsibilities are often handled by in-house security executives, managers, and senior experts while lower-level tasks, including monitoring, are handled by MSSPs. The most preferred countries for outsourcing cyber security are India, Singapore, China, Vietnam, and Sweden.

2. Intelligence Analysts:

- Operating primarily behind the scenes, intelligence analysts are responsible for gathering, interpreting, and disseminating critical information. They leverage contacts within various governments, corporations, and criminal syndicates to build a comprehensive understanding of emerging threats and opportunities.

- These agents also engage in cyber operations, hacking into secure networks to extract sensitive data, thereby providing Crimson Dawn with a strategic advantage in both political and military maneuvers.

3. Infiltrators and Moles:

- Infiltrators are highly trained agents who embed themselves within other organizations, often posing as employees or allies. Their primary goal is to gather intelligence, sow discord, and manipulate decision-making from within.

- Moles are individuals who have been recruited or coerced to work for Crimson Dawn while maintaining their positions in rival organizations. They are invaluable for providing inside information about corporate strategies, political machinations, and military operations.

4. Assassins:

- Elite assassins within Crimson Dawn act as the organization's "clean-up crew," eliminating threats that could jeopardize their operations. These agents are experts in stealth, precision, and various forms of weaponry, making them lethal opponents.

- Their targets often include high-profile political figures, rival leaders, and key players in the arms trade. Assassins work independently or in small teams and are known for their signature methods, leaving little trace behind.

5. Fixers:

- Fixers are agents who possess an extensive network of contacts and resources across different sectors, including crime, business, and politics. They are skilled negotiators and problem solvers who can arrange deals, procure rare items, or eliminate obstacles that stand in the way of Crimson Dawn's goals.

- Through their vast network, fixers ensure that Crimson Dawn remains one step ahead, able to leverage influence and connections to achieve its aims.

### Training and Skills

1. Combat Training:

- All agents undergo rigorous combat training, tailored to their roles within Crimson Dawn. Field operatives and assassins receive specialized instruction in various forms of hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and the effective use of both conventional and unconventional weapons.

- Training often includes exercises in stealth, evasion, and escape techniques, ensuring that agents can operate effectively in dangerous environments.

2. Intelligence and Infiltration Techniques:

- Agents are trained in advanced methods of surveillance, disguise, and information extraction. This includes hacking systems, social engineering, and the ability to read social cues to manipulate targets effectively.

- Infiltrators receive specific training in blending in with different cultures and social settings, which helps them gather intelligence unnoticed.

3. Psychological Manipulation:

- Agents are educated in the art of persuasion and manipulation, making them adept at gaining the trust of others or bending others to their will. This skill is vital for infiltrators and fixers who need to navigate complex relationships within rival organizations.

- Understanding human psychology allows agents to find leverage points to influence decision-makers or destabilize rival factions.

### Conclusion

The agents of Crimson Dawn represent the dark underbelly of power, acting as invisible hands that shape the balance of influence throughout the galaxy. From field operatives executing missions to intelligence analysts decoding crucial information, each agent plays a vital role in supporting the organization’s ambition for supremacy.

As the galaxy becomes increasingly entwined in conflict, the actions of Crimson Dawn’s agents will be pivotal in manipulating the tide of power, weaving a complex web of influence that serves to elevate the syndicate while undermining its enemies. In the shadows, they work relentlessly, ensuring that Crimson Dawn remains a dominant force amid the chaos of the galaxy.

Last month, the FBI raided the homes of Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and critic of American foreign policy, and Dimitri Simes, a former think tank executive and an adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. In late August, The New York Times reported that these searches were part of the U.S. Justice Department’s “broad criminal investigation into Americans who have worked with Russia’s state television networks.”

In the past two weeks, U.S. officials have taken numerous measures against Russia Today and its affiliates and accelerated police actions against Russia-based individuals and entities accused of covert influence operations, including money laundering, sanctions violations, and unregistered foreign agent work. For example, the Justice Department announced the seizure of 32 Internet domains used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns (colloquially referred to as “Doppelganger”), alleging that Russian companies used online domains to impersonate legitimate news entities and unique media brands to spread Russian government propaganda covertly, violating U.S. laws against money laundering and trademarks. 

That same day, the Justice Department indicted two Russia-based employees of RT for conspiring to commit money laundering and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act in a $10-million scheme to fund and direct a Tennessee-based company to publish and disseminate information “with hidden Russian-government messaging.” A day later, officials charged Dmitri Simes and his wife with participating in a plot to violate U.S. sanctions and launder money obtained from Russian state television.

About a week later, the U.S. State Department issued a special “alert to the world,” declaring that new information obtained over the past year reveals that Russia Today has “moved beyond being simply a media outlet” and has become “an entity with cyber capabilities” that’s “also engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement.” Washington claims that the Russian government embedded within RT in Spring 2023 an entity “with cyber operational capabilities and ties to Russian intelligence.” Based on these allegations, Meta — the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — soon announced that it had banned Russia Today and its affiliates from all its platforms. 

A day before that big announcement from the State Department, a jury in Tampa, Florida, convicted four American citizens of conspiracy to act as agents of the Russian government. Case evidence first reported by RFE/RL shows that the activists on trial secretly coordinated their activities and received funding from “Anti-Globalization Movement” head Alexander Ionov, who acted on orders from Russia’s Federal Security Service.

To discuss this recent explosion of American police and diplomatic activity targeting RT and Russian covert influence operations in the U.S., The Naked Pravda spoke to RFE/RL journalist Mike Eckel, who coauthored the September 6 report on how Ionov and his FSB handlers “chatted and plotted to sow discord in the United States.”

Russia building its navy despite sanctions: hacking of the 243rd Military Representative Office of the Russian MoD

Hacktivists of the Ukrainian Cyber Resistance group handed over to InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community a dump of email correspondence of Yuri Pavlenko, the head of the 243rd Military Representative Office (MRO) of the Russian Ministry of Defense. This mailbox contains tens of gigabytes of data on the construction, repair and maintenance of ships for the Russian navy. In this feature, we will touch on how sanctions against the Russian Federation affect the repair of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, how the threat of Ukrainian naval drones forced the Russians to refit ships, which foreign components are still used on Russian ships, how Russia continues to expand its capabilities in the Arctic despite the sanctions.

Given the mass of data in the dump of 243rd MRO, we are presenting the material not in our customary investigation format, but rather as a brief overview of the analyzed documents. If you are a journalist or an analyst, and if you would like to have the whole dump, please contact with a private message through Cyber Resistance or InformNapalm pages.

243rd MRO of the Russian MoD

In Russia, a military representative office (MRO) is a department responsible for quality control and acceptance of products contracted from the military-industrial complex. There is a directorate at the MoD with a number of MROs in its structure. The 243rd MRO is located in St. Petersburg, it is focused on the navy procurement and the construction of the fleet. It is headed by Yuriy Pavlenko, and from his mail it becomes clear that there are at least 18 military-industrial complex enterprises operating under the supervision of 243rd MRO. Among them, for example, are Saint Petersburg Shipbuilding Company (SPSC), Research and Production Enterprise PUSK, etc. Here is the list: Рапорт 243 ОП.pdf

In particular, the mail dump contains a lot of information about these entities subordinate to the MRO. For example, there company records with information about managers, number of employees, signature samples of the officers, etc.

There also are lists of employees and contractors of military-industrial complex companies involved, and the SPSC plant is among them.

The mail also contains a lot of technical documentation. Here, for example, are the operational requirements for the production of an assault and landing boat: 20220906-ТТТ на создание ДШЛ.pdf

At the same time, the mail sheds light on significant problems in the Russian Navy.

ADMIRAL KUZNETSOV

This “pride of the Russian Navy” has been under repairs for almost 8 years and, according to all plans, should have already been returned to service. However, Pavlenko’s mail contains dozens of documents on meetings, conferences and consultations regarding the progress of the ship’s repairs.

Apart from the desire of Russian officials, admirals and contractors to continue embezzling money, delays in modernization of the ship are also attributable to the sanctions. Apparently, some mechanisms and installations were replaced with Russian products. And some had to be abandoned on the go. For example, Admiral Kuznetsov is equipped with hydropneumatic accumulators. They need stroke counters for normal operation, but the counters are foreign-made and the Russian Federation cannot obtain them. What is the Russian response? They call another technical meeting and come to the conclusion that “it’ll work fine without those”.

Here is the text of the resolution: 8877ф Совместное решение.pdf

Accordingly, this is further evidence that anti-Russian sanctions are an effective security mechanism, and that Russia feels their bite. And there is something to show here.

FOREIGN-MADE COMPONENTS IN THE NAVY

The Russians keep fairly meticulous records of foreign-made components that are critical to their navy. This is done for the two-fold purpose: a) to form reserves of components; b) to gradually replace them with domestic analogues. Russian military sector companies submit tables of foreign-made components to the MRO, indicating the availability of Russian analogues or suppliers. Usually the latter are not available.

With regard to the reserve components inventory, the example of the “top secret” ship Akademik Ageyev is indicative. According to the Russian media, it is an oceanographic research vessel, but in reality it is a reconnaissance and sabotage ship belonging to the MoD.

Russian bloggers like to stress that the technical documentation for this vessel is classified. However, the data from the 243rd MRO of the Russian MoD reveals the scope of foreign-made components used on the ship. It should be noted that the ship was officially launched in 2019, before the start of the full-scale invasion. Only one ship of this type was manufactured, and serial production is not planned. However, a number of sanctions against Russia have been introduced since the beginning of its hybrid aggression against Ukraine, and therefore the Russians decided to stock up on foreign components at the construction stage. Accordingly, if something breaks down, Russians still can replace parts without any problems. In total, the ship has 78 foreign-made components, including the power plant (HFJ 7638-06P three-phase alternating current diesel generator based on the MAN 9L21/310 engine) and its main working attachment – a 45-ton lifting crane (DKF80).

Original documents: *.xlsx

Tracing foreign-made components sometimes gets ridiculous. For example, the Russians are modernizing the heavy nuclear missile cruisers of Project 1144 Orlan.

One of the ships is an old Soviet cruiser Admiral Nakhimov, another never ending Russian construction project, which has been under modernization since 1999. The Russians planned to take the ship on sea trials as early as 2024. However, the sailing date was postponed until the spring of this year. In principle, there is no surprise, as the list of foreign components which have no Russian analogues contains even the M 21 Junior coffee machines made in Italy.

Original document: 11442М_09.2023.xlsx

The same situation applies to the newest Russian Project 22160 class patrol ships — they cannot function without a Mondo coffee maker and a Panasonic microwave oven.

Original document: 22160.09.2023.xlsx

Jokes aside, among the coffee-maker spam in the Russian documentation, it is easy to overlook really critical units and assemblies of foreign production.

For example, information on the newest large landing ships (LLS) of Project 11711 Ivan Gren class shows more critical foreign components.

Original documents on the Ivan Gren ship: Сведения о продукции ИП для пр.11711 зав.302.xlsx

Original documents on the Petr Morguniv ship: Копия Сведения о продукции ИП для пр.11711 зав.302.xlsx

These ships were commissioned back in 2018 and 2020, respectively. The next ships, serial numbers 303 and 304, were scheduled to be delivered in late 2023 and 2024. However, they are still being built. Apparently, this is due to difficulties in purchasing components because of sanctions against the Russian Federation.

Another example of the sanctions impact is the pace of construction of the Project 23550, a class of armed icebreaking patrol ships.

The refusals of disciplined suppliers who comply with sanctions against Russia delayed the construction of the ship with the factory number 235 (Purga) for almost a year.

Full version of the document: 430-08-23 ПАО ВСЗ (Исакову, Фомину).pdf

The document suggests that the Russians have found replacements for foreign components. Unfortunately, it is not clear from the document whether those are purely Russian products or parallel import. This example also shows that although the sanctions are working, the Russians are not standing idle either. At the same time, it is important to note the application of this class of ships. These are Arctic ships that the Russian Federation is preparing for the upcoming confrontation in the Arctic Ocean. Thus, even tougher restrictions are needed if world leaders do not want to have another problem at the planet’s North Pole.

Since 2014, the Russians have been developing a ground-based test and training naval aviation simulator Razgon-VMF. The documentation for this system very carefully indicates foreign components, manufacturers, countries of origin, functional significance, etc. The sender probably wanted to protect these documents from prying eyes, so they were encrypted.

The documents show that the Russians continued to purchase components as of 2023, therefore InformNapalm will contact the manufacturers on this list with inquiries about the use of their products by the Russians.

Full version of the documents: 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, 4.pdf

QUALITY COMPLAINTS AND BREAKDOWNS

The mail of the 243rd MRO also contains many documents concerning warranty service by factories for their products that have failed. Taken together, this documentation provides a general picture of the state of affairs in Russian shipbuilding.

For example, a number of Russian ships, including modern frigates of Project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov class, are equipped with UV-450 naval sighting devices. This device is used for guidance and target designation. It facilitates maritime operations by improving situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

Since the manufacturer of this device is reporting to 243rd MRO, the mail contains all the failure cases of this sight. Most of the defects are related to manufacturing.

Here is a case of malfunctioning horizontal guidance motor and periodic motor failures on the Admiral Gorshkov frigate.

Or here is a defect in the azimuth guidance motor on the Admiral Kasatonov frigate.

And here are the defects discovered at the stage of the ship’s sea trials (poor target tracking, the sight goes blind its own electronic warfare system is on, the screen quality is poor, etc.):

On the Rasul Gamzatov patrol ship there are problems with fixing the device—it wobbles from side to side:

In total, at least 11 complaints regarding the operation of the device were received in 2023. However, we believe that the real state of affairs is much worse.

Original documents and list of recorded problems:

22460 зав. 511 в адрес КБ Аметист.pdf

Копия Журнал рекеламаций Пшонкину А.Э..xlsx

At the same time, the UV-450 contains more than 242 foreign-made components, mainly from the USA, Japan and Taiwan . Here is the list:

Копия Сведения о продукцииИП для пр.11711 зав.302.xlsx

Every year, the Russians are prolonging permits for the use of foreign-made components, quote “until the production of domestic analogues was mastered.” This is a strong indication that the Russians continue to illegally purchase components for guidance an targeting systems through intermediaries.

20230911-Исх. № 577 от 11.09.2023 ПАО АСЗ.pdf

All of these documents are more than a collection of isolated cases of quality complaints and procurement problems of the fleet. Researchers who will study the dump of 243rd MRO will have a chance to make some systemic findings. For example, here are 11 pages of detailed descriptions of equipment failures and other problems on specific ships from 2018 to 2023 from just one contractor.

FEAR OF UKRAINIAN DRONES

In conclusion of this review, we will show a couple of documents on how the Russians are adapting to Ukraine’s effective actions at sea. Through the use of naval attack drones, Ukraine, having no strong navy, managed to significantly limit Russia’s capabilities in the Black Sea and forced the Russians to withdraw the backbone of their fleet from Crimea.

Of course, the Russians began to adapt to new methods of warfare at sea. In June 2023, a decision was made to strengthen a number of Russian large landing ships with additional anti-aircraft modules. Among such ships are the Project 11711 LLS Petr Morgunov (mentioned above), the LLS Georgy Pobedonosets, and the unlucky LLS Olenegorsky Gornyak.

According to the documents, the Yantar shipyard must develop technical documentation as soon as possible and later carry out work on installing anti-aircraft modules on the large landing ships. The deadline for these works was set for October 31, 2023. However, on August 4, 2023, Ukrainian drones successfully hit the LLS Olenegorsky Gornyak in the waters off Novorossiysk.

Romania was target of 'aggressive hybrid Russian attacks' during elections, security council says

BUCHAREST, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Documents declassified by Romania's top security council on Wednesday said the country was a target of "aggressive hybrid Russian attacks" in a period of consecutive elections.

Romanians will vote in a presidential election runoff on Sunday that could see Calin Georgescu, a far-right, pro-Russian critic of NATO, defeat pro-European centrist Elena Lasconi, an outcome that might isolate Romania in the West.

Having polled in single digits before the first presidential election round on Nov. 24, Georgescu - who wants to end Romanian support for Ukraine against Russia's invasion - surged to a victory that raised questions over how such a surprise had been possible in a European Union and NATO member state.

In one of the unclassified documents, Romania's intelligence agency said Georgescu was massively promoted on social media platform TikTok through coordinated accounts, recommendation algorithms and paid promotion. Georgescu has declared zero funds spent in the campaign.

The intelligence service also said access data for official Romanian election websites was published on Russian cyber crime platforms. The access data was probably procured by targeting legitimate users or by exploiting the legitimate training server, the agency said.

It added that it had identified over 85,000 cyber attacks which aimed to exploit system vulnerabilities.

Russia has denied any interference in Romania's election campaigns.

"The attacks continued intensively including on election day and the night after elections," the agency said in a declassified document.

"The operating mode and the amplitude of the campaign leads us to conclude the attacker has considerable resources specific to an attacking state."
