Threats to information security grow as Internet becomes widely
available, Mishel Davudyan Director of the Apaga (Future) Technologies
Company stated at a workshop on IT security.

"Statistical data show that only 1,000 out of 2m messages are really
letters, the rest are spam," he said. Message filtering is one of
the priority IT security tasks.

IT security risks are increasing simultaneously with Internet
development. "Internet has been rapidly developing in Armenia recently,
and the security problem is much more important – cybercriminals
look for weak zones to attack," Davudyan said. He pointed out that
cybercrime-caused damage totals several hundred million U.S. dollars.

Commercial companies and banks should pay special attention to
information security, as they transmit confidential information by
means of Internet.

Apaga Technologies Internet and information security offers solutions
tested in a number of European countries.
