New Platforms LLC (Новые Платформы) is a Russian manufacturer of bare-metal network and security appliances, registered in the IEEE database across two MA-L blocks: 5C:83:CD ("New platforms") and 00:B8:81 ("New platforms LLC"). The two registrations carry the same Moscow address — Varshavskoe (Warshavskoe) shosse 35, Bld 1, Moscow 117105, Russia — and the only difference between them is a slight naming variation and a transliteration of the street name, so they resolve to a single entity and are best consolidated under one vendor entry. The company produces 1U rack hardware platforms intended as host hardware for Russian-market NGFW (Next-Generation Firewall), UTM (Unified Threat Management), and Security Gateway software stacks (e.g. UserGate, Continent, ViPNet, Ideco), along with general-purpose servers and workstations; its product line spans Intel Atom C-series, Intel Xeon E-series, Intel Xeon Scalable, and RockChip ARM platforms (NP-1001i through NP-6005i). Platforms ship bare-metal, without a bound OS (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD supported), and the vendor is listed in Russia's ERRPP register (реестр РЭП ТКО-832/22) and on the GISP marketplace as an import-substitution supplier. The practical takeaway for asset triage: a 5C:83:CD or 00:B8:81 MAC almost certainly identifies a New Platforms enterprise/government security appliance sold predominantly inside Russia — these are not consumer routers or IoT devices, so an unexpected sighting outside a Russian government or enterprise context warrants investigation.

- Security context
- Russian-domestic hardware vendor under the import-substitution mandate; platforms sold as host hardware for Russian-market NGFW/UTM/security-gateway stacks. No CVEs specific to New Platforms hardware found in open sources. No OFAC/Treasury sanctions listing found for this specific entity, though it operates in a sector (Russian government/military information security) subject to broad export controls.

- Analyst note
- A 5C:83:CD or 00:B8:81 MAC almost certainly indicates a New Platforms bare-metal network/security appliance running a Russian-market NGFW/UTM/security-gateway OS. These are enterprise/government security hardware sold predominantly in Russia; an unexpected sighting outside that context warrants investigation. OUI alone identifies the hardware vendor, not the OS or operator.
