Solar and IT holding T1 are expanding cooperation in the field of data protection, secure development and cyber literacy of employees

Solar Group, the leading vendor of comprehensive cybersecurity in Russia, and the T1 IT holding continue to strengthen cooperation in the field of cybersecurity.

The companies signed two memorandums at the CIPR-2026 conference. The vendors plan to develop complex projects in the field of corporate data protection, as well as expand cooperation in the secure development of applications based on the Sfera.DevOps platform and solutions that are part of the Solar Group’s asset portfolio. So in the direction AppSecalong with the Solar appSrcreener product, the collaboration includes Luntry, a container security solution, and Kubernetes, a secure development management system for Hexway Vampy ASMP. The Secure-T Awareness Platform, a platform for improving employee cyber literacy, also strengthens the portfolio of joint projects between the two companies.

IT holding T1 is consistently among the top five largest manufacturers in the videoconferencing solutions market with an NPS indicator of about 35% and the ability to support up to 10,000 users in one conference. Corporate Communications Platform DION is an ecosystem that brings together various technologies for corporate communications, collaboration and business process management. Chats are one such effective tool for quickly exchanging information.

First of all, the parties focused on ensuring the protection of corporate chats, since this is one of the key channels of data leaks (37%) according to Solar experts. Confirmed compatibility of the Solar Dozor DLP system with the DION.Chat messenger allows you to natively integrate solutions into IT-infrastructure and control data transmission channels within them. For example, to identify attempts at unauthorized transfer of confidential information, apply security policies and record incidents in a single loop. In the future, the partners plan to create a joint comprehensive solution that will combine the capabilities of Solar Dozor and the DION corporate communications platform.

The expansion of the partnership between T1 and Solar in the field of secure development corresponds to the dynamics of the development of the information security market. Solutions for ensuring secure development are part of the analysis, control and response to information security threats segment, this is the second largest segment of the information security products market. According to B1, this segment will grow to 79 billion rubles by 2030 at an average annual rate of 14%. Market development is facilitated by import substitution, the position of regulators regarding RBPO standards, and business interest in full-fledged platforms that provide comprehensive protection at all stages of software development. Therefore, the partners included four integrated technologies included in the vendors’ portfolio in the outline of the agreement. These include: the Sfera.DevOps module of the Sfera software production platform (part of the T1 IT holding), as well as solutions from the Solar Group: the Luntry platform for comprehensive protection of containers and Kubernetes, the Hexway ASOC product for managing secure development and the on-premise Secure-T Awareness Platform.

“We have moved away from point integration of individual solutions to a planned architecture for building comprehensive protection. It is important not just to confirm technical compatibility with Solar products via ICAP, but to cover real attack scenarios – from leaks in corporate chats to risks in development and container environments“,” shared Vasily Sautin, commercial director of the “Software Solutions” vertical of the T1 IT holding.

“Strengthening partnerships with the T1 IT holding in the field of cybersecurity is already becoming a good tradition and a continuation of our customer-centric strategy. The confirmed compatibility of Solar solutions with the DION.Chat messenger and the Sfera.DevOps platform protects three main channels for cyber attacks: corporate chats, code development and container protection, as well as social engineering,” commented Nikolai Sivak, commercial director of Solar Group.

For several years, Solar and the T1 IT holding have been developing comprehensive information security systems and strengthening cooperation in the field of data protection, secure development and cyber literacy training for employees.
