The Federal Service for Technical and Export Control of Russia (FSTEC of Russia / FSTEK) is a military agency of the Russian Federation, under the Russian Ministry of Defence.[1] It licenses the export of weapons and dual-use technology items, and is also responsible for Russian military information security.[2]
FSTEC of Russia maintains the Data Security Threats Database, Russia's national vulnerability database.[3] and requires Western technology companies to submit source code and other trade secrets before allowing their products to be imported into Russia.[4] FSTEC also liaises with the FSB, which controls cryptography in Russia.[5]
In 2019, FSTEC of Russia granted Astra Linux special status regarding its use in processing Russian classified information.[1]
