ArmInfo. Until Information Technologies sphere did not reach
satisfactory level, there is no sense to expect absolute growth
of economic competitive ability of the country, Doctor of Economic
Science, Professor Tatul Manaseryan said at a seminar-discussion on
the topic "Effectiveness of modern communication system in Armenia".
He also added that the authorities did not do any certain serious
steps in the sphere of Information Technologies, declared as a
priority sphere by the government. He is sure that IT should be
watched in Armenia not as a separate branch but as a branch of a
great significance for all the spheres of the country.
Manaseryan also touched on the information security and said that
it is an important component of the economic security and national
security of the country. ‘Armenia is very vulnerable in the sense of
information security although all the states are trying to communicate
by means of modern IT, doing everything possible to ensure information
security’,- Manaseryan said.
He also added that there are the problems in the information security
which maybe settled by certain companies but not by the authorities,
but if these companies cannot independently resolve the problem,
in that case the authorities should support them. One can come
across various viruses on the web-sites of many structures of Armenia
including the state ones, as they don’t have simple protecting elements
or filters. Even the official sites of the Armenian parliament and
government are not insured against viruses.
