Museum exhibits of Tatarstan are under cyber defense

21 museums in Tatarstan have received an updated version of the complex museum accounting system (KAMIS), which will protect digital images and multimedia objects of museum exhibits from unauthorized access. Cyber attacks have long been common, and the protection of the most valuable museum exhibits comes to the fore.

Taking into account the new delivery, 54 Tatarstan museums will be connected to the KAMIS system, designed to automate the collection, processing and storage of information about museum items and collections with the possibility of centralized data storage.

In total, there are more than 1.9 million exhibits in the museum funds of Tatarstan. The most interesting exhibits are digitally displayed in the "Virtual Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan" and are available for viewing online from any part of the world. Digitization of exhibits became possible, including, as a result of the transition of museum staff to work in the KAMIS system. It should be noted that the Ministry of Informatization and Communication of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan have been working on informatization of the museums of Tatarstan since 2012.
