The deal has been completed, resulting in the creation of the F6 brand - a new cybersecurity company formed on the basis of F.A.C.C.T.'s technologies and expertise. The new player in the market, created with the support of the "Cyberus" fund, will focus on developing advanced technologies and services to combat cybercrime, prevent attacks, and investigate information security incidents in Russia and abroad.

The "Cyberus" fund concluded a deal with the shareholders of F.A.C.C.T. at the end of 2024, which allowed F6 to acquire engineering technologies, expertise, intellectual property, and current contracts. The deal was completed on January 31, 2025, after which F6 became an independent business with 47% participation from the "Cyberus" fund and 53% from private investors. The management team of F6 includes CEO Valery Baulin, CTO Nikita Kislitsin, Service Block Director Alexander Sokolov, Commercial Director Egor Khalilov, and Marketing Director Anastasia Merkulova.

The company has already begun updating its product line, adapting key solutions to current cyber threats. In 2025, F6 plans to release an updated Malware Detonation Platform (sandbox) module for the flagship Managed XDR solution with support for Russian Linux-based operating systems. Plans also include the launch of a commercial SOC, a national anti-fraud platform, and the expansion of services for cyberattack modeling (Purple Teaming) and comprehensive anti-fraud audits of financial institutions.

The name reflects the six key areas of the company's work and a reference to the legendary "sixth department," which fought organized crime.

F6 will become part of the international export offer of the "Cyberus" fund and will also cooperate with other fund projects to create a new cybersecurity architecture and increase the country's level of security. At the same time, the fund will not participate in the operational management of F6.

Storage you can trust in the background: Basis SDS 2.3 released with scheduled diagnostics and an observer role

A storage system is the only infrastructure layer where an error cannot be “rolled back”: neither a reboot nor a configuration rollback will restore lost data. That is why users expect predictability from software-defined storage rather than just new features—ensuring background processes finish what they started, and administrators can see the cluster status not only “right now,” but also over time.
