In a special March issue of RUBEZH magazine, the founder Internet-Rozysk, Igor Bederov told about six main trends and products that will determine the vector of development of information and analytical services developed for law enforcement agencies and private security services.

From January to November 2018, law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation registered 156,307 crimes committed by means of information and telecommunication technologies. Less than a quarter solved and submitted to the court. IT investigative solutions are gaining popularity. Moreover, startups are ready to offer government customers prices that are 5-10 times lower than the cost of already used software products.

For example, trend 6: Control cryptocurrency turnover

Along with the growing popularity of cryptocurrency operations in the world, their appeal to criminals is also increasing. In August 2018, the Federal Financial Monitoring Service Rosfinmonitoring), whose task is to counter financial frauds and the financing of terrorism, ordered an analytical tool to track operations with cryptocurrencies, in particular Bitcoin.

According to information from the state procurement website, by the end of 2018, the system should have a mechanism for receiving and processing information about transactions in bitcoins and electronic wallets. A government contract worth 196 million rubles for the development of the platform was obtained by the Institute for Security Problems and Information Analysis (SPI).

A similar product designed for assessing the reliability of cryptowallets and conducting investigations of crimes committed using cryptocurrencies is being developed in St. Petersburg.

The project is actively seeking investors. It has the working title “SICP” (Security Intelligence Cryptocurrencies Platform). At the time of writing, the SICP is the only working domestic service for evaluating cryptotransactions. The free alpha version of the service is shared on the link: http://sicp.ueba.su
