Why would you need the domestic DBMS? 1. Because of law requirements: only domestic DBMSes are appropriate for data protection. 2. In terms of formalization: currently, it is impossible to purchase MS in Russia legally. 3. In terms of pricing: the licensing mechanism of foreign DBMS systems significantly increases the expenditures on protection. 4. In terms of performance: it depends on the optimization of information protection tools, which are currently developed for domestic DBMS systems (in order to reveal why you may refer to the first paragraph). 5. In terms of practice: by the end of last year we’ve finished transition to the domestic databases and everything works smoothly. What else does an information security officer need?
