The article is dedicated to issues in certification of antivirus software and industrial cyber security systems. It was shown that certification time in Russia is much longer than in the USA, European Union and Germany. The life time and the development time of products of this field were analyzed in the article. Each variable was specified for new products and for new versions of existing products. Some statistical methods were used in the article: Cronbach’s alfa, t-statistics, and median value similarity that are typical for the articles in quality management. As a result, it was found that certification time in Russia for industrial cyber security systems is significantly longer than in other analyzed countries, up to three-fold. Product development and life time are also longer. However, the most important result is that certification in Russia adds from 32.1 to 40 percent of time to the development of a new version or a new product, correspondingly, whereas in other investigated countries these numbers are about 17 percent. Reduction of certification time will increase new product development efficiency in the field of cyber security, which will improve positions of Russian products at the international mark et.
