An economic and sociological analysis of the cybersecurity market as a factor of sustainable economic dynamics in russian society

This paper aims to examine the Russian market for cybersecurity products and services while analyzing key models for its future development. The study highlights the role and significance of cybersecurity within Russia's rapidly advancing high-tech industries and identifies the main segments of the domestic cyber market. It emphasizes the dominance of Russian companies in the cybersecurity sector as a critical factor in achieving technological sovereignty. The paper describes the methods used to study the domestic cybersecurity market and presents an analysis of both the quantity and quality of market participants. It explores the necessity, potential, and methods for the return of foreign IT companies to the Russian cybersecurity market in light of its key development models. The authors argue for the strategic importance of transitioning to domestic cybersecurity solutions to secure the country's digital information space. The paper provides a detailed framework for replacing foreign cyber products and services with Russian alternatives while discussing the challenges of implementing this model within the context of Western economic sanctions. A ranking of the main difficulties encountered during the implementation of import substitution in Russia is also presented. Finally, the paper identifies factors that could enhance the innovation and technology landscape of the Russian cybersecurity market by 2030.
