Federal Service for Technical and Export Control
The Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC, or 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 runs 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] FSTEK also liaises with the FSB, which controls cryptography in Russia.[5]
In 2019, it granted Astra Linux special status regarding its use in processing Russian classified information.[1]
