According to this decree, deputy heads of federal executive bodies, supreme executive bodies of state power of the Russian regions, state funds, state corporations, and other organizations are entrusted with the authority to ensure information security of their institutions, including detection, prevention, and elimination of the consequences of computer attacks, and response to computer incidents.
Putin ordered to create structural units to be in charge of that sphere in organizations, including pharmaceutical companies.
From January 1, 2025, Russia bans the use of information security tools originating from unfriendly countries.
